MONSTROUS fish are said to be lurking beneath the
waters of the Teluk Bahang Dam, claim several people in Penang. According to
Kosmo!, the Arapaima Gigas the world's largest freshwater fish and the
snakehead (toman) had actually jumped at anglers fishing by the dam.“Some
anglers believe the fish have been acting this way because their habitat has
been disturbed,” said Rosnani Ahmad, 37,He claimed to have seen the fish
swimming in the dam in October last year. The 58.5m-high dam is a favourite
spot for Penangites and it has been used for dragon boat racing for the past 37
years. It associated these supposed sightings with the drowning of Jacob Issac
Fletcher, 19, during a dragon boat meet there last year. The dam is now
supposedly sealed off to anglers
Tetrapod
anatomy: Backbone back-to-front in early animals
By Rebecca Morelle Science reporter, BBC World
Service
Textbooks might have to be re-written when it comes to
some of the earliest creatures, a study suggests.Researchers have found that
our understanding of the anatomy of the first four-legged animals is wrong.New
3D models of fossil remains show that previous renderings of the position of
the beasts' backbones were actually back-to-front.The findings, published
in the journal Nature, may even change our thinking on how the spine
evolved.The scientists looked at a group of animals called the tetrapods,
examining three creatures called Ichthyostega, Acanthostega
and Pederpes.These primitive four-legged animals are of great interest
to palaeontologists: they were the first creatures to haul themselves out of
the oceans, paving the way for all future vertebrate life on land.
