			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Giant Leopard Moth</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/leopard-moth.jpg" alt="Giant Leopard Moth" title="Giant Leopard Moth" /></p>
<p>The Giant Leopard Moth or Eyed Tiger Moth (Hypercompe scribonia) has a distinct pattern of black rings, reminiscent to those found in its namesake the leopard. The moth’s unmistakable colorings is aposematic, meaning that they are actually &#8220;advertising&#8221; the bug’s unpalatability to potential predators.</p>
<h3>Giant Camel Spider</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/giant-camel-spider.jpg" alt="Giant Camel Spider" title="Giant Camel Spider" /></p>
<p>Perhaps we would never &#8211; or rarely &#8211; have heard of such a creature if it was not because of the tales and photos the United States Servicemen in the Persian Gulf War and afterwards the Iraq War carried back home. It was said that a giant camel spider crawled into the sleeping bag of a soldier, biting the man while he was asleep. Fortunately, the giant desert camel spiders native to Iraq aren&#8217;t venomous. It uses its claws to catch its prey, which is never bigger than the arachnid itself. They are also known for being fast. Giant Camel Spiders have been known to run around 10 MPH. This creature real name is Arachnid Solifugae. &#8220;Solifugae&#8221; means, in Latin, &#8220;flee from the sun&#8221;.</p>
<h3>Giant Water Bug</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/giant-water-bug.jpg" alt="Giant Water Bug" title="Giant Water Bug" /></p>
<p>Belostomatidae is a family of insects in the Order Hemiptera, known as giant water bugs or colloquially as toe-biters. They are the largest insects in the order Hemiptera, and occur worldwide, with most of the species in North America, South America and East Asia. They are typically encountered in freshwater streams and ponds. Most species are relatively large (2 cm or more) with some of the largest, such as Lethocerus, exceeding 12 cm, and nearly reaching the dimensions (length and mass) of some of the larger beetles in the world. Giant water bugs are a popular food in Thailand.</p>
<h3>Hercules Beetle</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/hercules-beetle.jpg" alt="Hercules Beetle" title="Hercules Beetle" /></p>
<p>The Hercules beetle (Dynastes hercules) is the most famous and largest of the rhinoceros beetles. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, they also can be found in coastal regions of North Carolina. Their title is well deserved, with some (exceptionally rare) males reaching 6.75 inches (170 mm) in length. It is the largest of the 6 species in the Dynastes genus, and one of the largest beetles known, being exceeded in length by only two other beetles in the family Cerambycidae, Macrodontia cervicornis (specimens of 170-175 mm are known) and Titanus giganteus (several 180+ mm specimens are known to exist). However, if the horns are excluded, this species drops considerably farther down in the size rankings. One reason for this is that the development of the horns is allometric, as well as sexually dimorphic, and thus not strictly correlated to actual body size; it is possible for a female to be much longer, measured from eyes to abdomen, than a male, yet be considered &#8220;smaller&#8221; simply due to the absence of horns.</p>
<h3>Calleta Silkmoth</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/calleta-silkmoth.jpg" alt="Calleta Silkmoth" title="Calleta Silkmoth" /></p>
<p>The Calleta Silkmoth (Eupackardia calleta) is a moth of the Saturniidae family. It is the only species in the Eupackardia genus. [1] It is found in Mexico, Guatemala and the southernmost part of the United States and their wingspan is 80-110 mm.</p>
<h3>Cecropia Moth</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cecropia-moth.jpg" alt="Cecropia Moth" title="Cecropia Moth" /></p>
<p>The Cecropia Moth is one of the largest moths found in North America. It is a member of the Saturniidae family, or giant silk moths. Females with a wingspan of 130 mm or more have been documented. It is found as far west as the Rocky Mountains and north into the maritime provinces of Canada. The larvae of these moths are most commonly found on Maple trees, but they have been known to feed on Wild Cherry and Birch trees among many others.</p>
<h3>Damselfly</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/damselfly.jpg" alt="Damselfly" title="Damselfly" /></p>
<p>The Damselfly (Suborder Zygoptera) is an insect in the Order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.</p>
<p>Damselflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis, with an aquatic nymphal stage. The female lays eggs in water, sometimes in underwater vegetation, or high in trees in bromeliads and other water-filled cavities. Nymphs are carnivorous, feeding on daphnia, mosquito larvae, and various other small aquatic organisms. The gills of damselfly nymphs are large and external, resembling three fins at the end of the abdomen. After moulting several times, the winged adult emerges and eats flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects. Some of the larger tropical species are known to feed on spiders, hovering near the web and plucking the spider from its nest.</p>
<h3>Devil&#8217;s Flower Mantis</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/devils-flower-mantis.jpg" alt="Devil&#039;s Flower Mantis" title="Devil&#039;s Flower Mantis" /></p>
<p>The Idolomantis Diabolica is sometimes known as the &#8220;King of all mantids&#8221; for the obvious reason: it&#8217;s beauty, size and rarity, is one of the largest species of praying mantis that mimic flowers.</p>
<h3>Lymantrid moth</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lymantrid-moth.jpg" alt="Lymantrid moth" title="Lymantrid moth" /></p>
<p>The Lymantrid moth (Calliteara pudibunda) is widespread in Danish beech (Fagus sylvatica) forests. The species has one generation in Denmark, with the dull grey moth flying during June. Each female can lay 300-400 eggs which she normally does very near the place where she emerged from the pupae. The small caterpillar is very hairy and can easily be transported by the wind. In late autumn the caterpillar is fully grown, is about 5 cm long and is very beautifully coloured. Pupation takes place among leaves on the ground where a silken cocoon is made.</p>
<h3>Orchid mantis</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/orchid-mantis.jpg" alt="Orchid Mantis" title="Orchid Mantis" /></p>
<p>The Hymenopus coronatu, aka Orchid mantis, is a variety of flower mantis usually found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Doesn’t the mantis pictured look just like an orchid? They hide in the flowers they resemble, waiting for other delicious insects to alight.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s say you go out camping with your family or friends and you wake up next to one of the animals below &#8230; what would you do ?</p>
<h3>Aye Aye</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/aye-aye.jpg" alt="Aye Aye" title="Aye Aye" /></p>
<p>Considered by locals as a harbinger of misfortune, the Aye-aye is one of the world’s most rare and bizarre looking primates. To the Malagasy people, the aye-aye is magical, and believed to bring death to the village it appears in; therefore they’re often killed on sight. The aye-aye is the world’s largest nocturnal primate with an average head and body length of 16 inches (40 centimeters), a long bushy tail of 2 feet (61 centimeters) long, and weighs about 4 pounds (2 kilos). The Aye-aye has large beady eyes, black hair, and large spoon-shaped ears. It has 5-fingered hands with flat nails, with a middle finger up to 3 times the length of the others.</p>
<h3>The Frilled Lizard</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/frilled-lizard.gif" alt="The Frilled Lizard" title="The Frilled Lizard" /></p>
<p>The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingi) is a yellowish-brown australian lizard has got a large frill of skin to the sides of the neck and throat. It is about 90 cm/35 in long, and when is angry or alarmed, it erects its frill, which may be as much as 25cm/10 in in diameter, thus giving itself the appearance of being larger than it really is. Frilled lizards are generally tree-living but may spend some time on the ground, where they run with their forelimbs in the air.</p>
<h3>Leaf-Tailed Gecko</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/leaf-tailed-gecko.jpg" alt="Leaf-Tailed Gecko" title="Leaf-Tailed Gecko" /></p>
<p>The Giant leaf-tailed gecko (Uroplatus fimbriatus) is endemic to Madagascar and the islands Nosy Bohara and Nosy Mangabe. These geckos live in tropical rain forests and reach a total length of 330 mm. A large nocturnal gecko, by day it plasters it self to a small tree trunk and rests head down. If disturbed it will raise it tail and head, open its mouth and scream… and call his mom.</p>
<h3>The Naked Mole Rat</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/naked-mole-rat.jpeg" alt="The Naked Mole Rat" title="The Naked Mole Rat" /></p>
<p>The Naked Mole Rat has little hair (hence the common name) and wrinkled pink or yellowish skin. The naked mole rat is also of interest because it is extraordinarily long-lived for a rodent of its size (up to 28 years). The secret of their longevity is debated, but is thought to be related to the fact that they can shut down their metabolism during hard times, and so prevent oxidative damage.</p>
<h3>Striking Bright Green Snake</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/striking-bright-green-snake.jpg" alt="Striking Bright Green Snake" title="Striking Bright Green Snake" /></p>
<p>Commonly known as Gumprecht’s green pit viper, is found in the Southeast Asian region of Greater Mekong.</p>
<h3>Star-Nosed Mole</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/star-nosed-mole.jpg" alt="Star-Nosed Mole" title="Star-Nosed Mole" /></p>
<p>One of the most intriguing stars in the universe is right here on Earth: the eleven pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing the snout of the star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata). His star is an extraordinary touch organ with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors, called Eimer’s organs, with which this hamster-sized mole feels its way around.</p>
<h3>Puss Caterpillar</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.pantherkut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/puss-caterpillar.jpg" alt="Puss Caterpillar" title="Puss Caterpillar" /></p>
<p>The inch-long Puss Caterpillar is generously coated in long, luxuriant hair-like setae, making it resemble a tiny Persian cat. The ‘fur’ of the larva contains venomous spines that cause extremely painful reactions in human skin upon contact. The reactions are sometimes localized to the affected area but are often very severe, radiating up a limb and causing burning, swelling, nausea, headache, abdominal distress, rashes, blisters, and sometimes chest pain, numbness, or difficulty breathing (Eagleman 2008). Additionally, it is not unusual to find sweating from the welts or hives at the site of the sting. M. opercularis can be found on oaks, elms, citrus and other trees, and many garden plants such as roses and ivy. It is distributed throughout the southern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America. The larva does not spin a real cocoon, rather, it separates from its furry skin and uses it as a protective covering while it pupates.</p>
<h3>Snakefish</h3>

<p>Snakefish can be up to over a metre in length and over 6 kilograms in weight. Most snakefish are 2-3 feet long. Some describe snakefish as having a voracious appetite, often consuming all other fish in a lake or pond and even eating its young. It can slither across land, staying out of water for up to three days, to find new sources of food. Norton also warns that once on land snakeheads can eat almost any small animal in its path. They have even attacked people in China who got too close to snakehead egg nesting areas.</p>
<h3>Giant Isopod</h3>

<p>This Terminator look-alike is a Giant Isopod (Bathynomus giganteus), a carnivorous crustacean that spends its time scavenging the deep ocean floor, up to 6,000ft down on the seabed where there is no light. In the pitch black and cold, they survive by feasting on dead and decaying fish and other marine animals.</p>
<h3>Kerivoula Kachinensis</h3>

<p>Another of the species found in one of the world’s last scientifically unexplored regions, Asia’s Greater Mekong, the Kerivoula Kachinensis is one of the most disturbing bats ever found.</p>

<p>A woman survived a polar bear attack in a Berlin Zoo enclosure when keepers pulled her to safety after knocking the animal away, the Daily Telegraph reports. One of four bears in the enclosure attacked the woman in a moat after she entered &#8211; a feat that required jumping a fence, hedges, and a wall. She sustained serious injuries to her arms and legs; police didn&#8217;t say why she&#8217;d entered the area.</p>

<p>This is Robo-Croc.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s built with a pair of metal rods that run down his face, and over forty screws are bolted to his head holding his jaw and skull together.</p>
<p>Surgeons were forced to construct the biotechnological terror now known as Robo-Croc after a car crushed his formerly ordinary-but-endangered crocodile head last year. He hasn&#8217;t eaten in three months. They&#8217;re hoping that by reinforcing his snout and reconstructing his head and face with a similar texture, they can get him to eat again.</p>

<p>I see a lot of weird things daily but this one has to be mentioned on the blog.<br />
The High Voltage Pet Brush doesn&#8217;t seem like the safest thing to be using on your pets. Although, the manufacturers claim it can kill fleas and ticks with extreme prejudice.</p>
<p>Pretty crazy. Imagine your cats fur after you brushed it with some electric current.</p>
