Photographer Captures a Series of Nearly Frozen ?Slurpee? Waves Rolling Off the Coast of Nantucket

Massachusetts-based photographer Jonathan Nimerfroh captured some stunning imagery off the coast of Nantucket for Stay Wild Magazine, as a series of semi-frozen ?Slurpee? waves rolled in. The stunningly slushy waves were the result of continued record-setting low temperatures in the Northeastern United States.

The harbor to the main land is frozen solid. No boats running.But yea, the day after I took these it actually froze up the shoreline for 200 yards out. Solid ice. I was totally tripping when I pulled up to the beach and saw this.

Baltimore's creaking real-time tracking system for city buses just got a major upgrade thanks to a group of civic-minded hackers who figured out a way to convert the city's tortured transit data into a machine-readable application programming interface. That feat, which Baltimore officials had said would cost $600,000, was completed gratis by the hackers in an afternoon, allowing the data to be fed into existing smartphone transit-tracking apps.

Weasel photographed riding on a woodpecker's back

Amateur photographer Martin Le-May, from Essex, has recorded the extraordinary image of a weasel riding on the back of a green woodpecker as it flies through the air.

The photograph was taken at Hornchurch Country Park in east London on Monday afternoon.

Speaking to BBC News, Mr Le-May said he had managed to capture the moment while he was out walking with his wife Ann.

He said: "I heard a distressed squawking noise and feared the worst.

"I soon realised it was a woodpecker with some kind of small mammal on its back.

"I think we may have distracted the weasel as when the woodpecker landed it managed to escape and the weasel ran into the grass."

Mr Le-May said he was astounded by the reaction to the picture on social media.

The wildlife shot has been retweeted several thousand times.

Martin Le-May: "It's almost a dream that you take a photograph that lots and lots of people not only look at but like"

He said; "I'm so proud so many people are getting to see my image. I'm totally taken aback by the response to it."

'Ferocious as a lion'

Wildlife expert Lucy Cooke told the BBC News Channel: "This is a truly extraordinary image.

"The green woodpecker is a ground-feeding bird, but weasels normally attack rabbits. The woodpecker is not its usual prey.

"But weasels are fearless.

"A female weasel weighs less than a Mars Bar but is as ferocious as a lion, so this is why the woodpecker would have been able to take off with it on its back."

Wildlife presenter Steve Backshall agrees that while highly unusual it is not totally unheard of and has "no reason to doubt" the photo.

He compared the woodpecker to other animals like leaf cutter ants and rhino beetles, which can carry 850 times their body weight.

He said: "The weasel is pretty fascinating as well. It can kill things much bigger than itself, so it's an impressive little creature when you think about its size."

Indonesian photographer Aditya Permana captured an absolutely brilliant image of a bucolic forest dragon lying back on a twig and seemingly strumming a few chords on a guitar-shaped leaf.

Permana also caught the sight of a full-bellied little frog hanging out in between two branches, making the happy amphibian appear to be walking on stilts, along with another incredible image of a frog hanging out with his praying mantis buddy.

A Filmmaker Tries to Photograph an Octopus Who Steals His Camera and Takes Photos of the Man Instead

http://laughingsquid.com/a-filmmake...s-camera-and-takes-photos-of-the-man-instead/

Filmmaker Benjamin Savard is currently making a film about the sciences at Middlebury College, but when he tried to take some photos of an octopus, the animal grabbed his camera and took some photos of its own, including shots of Savard. The camera was set to automatically take several photos per second, so Savard combined the images into a GIF that documents the camera theft.

The HAPPYCOW is a big spinning hourglass-shaped brush created by German farming equipment company Kerbl that cows rub up against in order to the clean themselves, as captured in a video by non-profit Hof Butenland. The machine takes advantage of a cow?s natural inclination to rub itself up against a tree, turning on when the animal triggers it. The brush?s manufacturers claim a slew of benefits for the device.

The brush removes dust mites and parasites by rubbing [and] improves the blood circulation to the skin. The skin is becoming more breathable and it stimulates the metabolism.

Jamie Hyneman of ?MythBusters? Adds a Spinning Saw Blade to a Drone for Remote Landscaping

http://laughingsquid.com/jamie-hyne...-saw-blade-to-a-drone-for-remote-landscaping/

In a new video by Tested, MythBusters co-host Jamie Hyneman hacks a quadcopter, adding a small spinning saw blade to the bottom of a long gimbal in an attempt to perform some remote landscaping. Hyneman admits that he?s still got some work to do in order to perfect the somewhat dangerous ?Arborist? drone.


You?ve got two things swinging around that you?re trying to coordinate with. I really thing we should try some pruning devices. That would be infinitely safer and not allow the thing that you?re cutting to just move out of the way.

 
Team of Artists Secretly Install a Massive Bust of NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden on a Brooklyn War Monument

http://laughingsquid.com/team-of-ar...er-edward-snowden-on-a-brooklyn-war-monument/

A team of artists have installed a massive bust of National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden on top of a pillar at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. The bust is four-feet tall and weighs 100 pounds, but the artists say it can be removed without damaging the original monument.

The artists responsible agreed to be interviewed by Animal New York on the terms that their identities be kept secret.


?Our goal is to bring a renewed vitality to the space and prompt even more visitors to ponder the sacrifices made for their freedoms. We hope this inspires them to reflect upon the responsibility we all bear to ensure our liberties exist long into the future.?
