Biology Friday is back
If you don't know what significance this week have for biology, it is the launch of the Encyclopaedia of Life whose aim is to classify every single of the 1.8 million species known to us, and add more that we don't know of. (Which was immediately overran by too much traffic, I don't want to overrun them with more traffic, but take a look.) Here's a short introductory video.The project is brought to you by everyone's favourite biologist/sociobiologist - E.O. Wilson.
In addition I give you the largest animal ever found, it's jaw is so strong that it is capable of biting any ordinary car into 2. (those prehistoric flying dinosaurs in the picture are already quite big, certainly larger than your largest seagull)
