SCIENTISTS find real killer whale!
A 12-million year old whale
fossil has been found recently in
Peru, which after early analysis
seems to indicate that it was more
of a sea-monster than its present
day descendants.
According to scientists at the
Paris Natural History Museum the
17-metre whale, named
‘Leviathan melvillei’ (in an ode to
Moby Dick) would have fed off
prey up to 8m long.
“It was a kind of a sea
monster,” said the Paris Natural
History Museum’s director,
Christian de Muizon.
“And it’s interesting to note that
at the same time in the same
waters was another monster,
which was a giant shark about
15m long.
“It’s possible that they might
have fought each other,” he
added.
SPIDERMAN is a boy named Hibiki!
A 13-year old UK highschooler
Hibiki Kono has taken his love of
Spiderman comics to the next
level, converting two cheap
vacuum cleaners into his very own
Spider wall climbing apparatus.
It took Hibiki a total of five
months to design and build the
machine out of two £14.98
vacuum cleaners during his
Design & Technology classes, but
his devotion paid off when he was
able to surprise friends by
climbing his school wall during
the morning’s assembly.
“I’m hugely proud of him,”
Habiki’s D&T teacher, Angus
Gent said.
“When he came to me with the
idea at the beginning I had my
doubts, but once he proved it
could be done I encouraged
him,” he added.
