Bizarre new creature discovered
An odd-looking creature has been discovered in the mountains of the African country Tanzania.
It's proper name is Rhynochocyon udzungwensis, it's the size of a cat and looks like a cross between a tiny antelope and a small ant eater.
The mammal has a grey face, a long, flexible snout, a tubby, amber-colored body, a jet-black behind and it stands on spindly legs.

Fanged fish found in Utah pond
A bizarre find in Pioneer Park Pond in Brigham City, Utah has biologists stumped.
A fish with fangs was discovered; now officials are trying to figure out what exactly it is.
Where did this fish come from, and more importantly, what is it? The mystery started a couple weeks ago when every fish in the pond went belly up. Ben Boyce, with the Brigham City Corporation, said "Approximately 4,000 fish, when the ice came off the pond, were discovered to be dead." The pond may have been poisoned, or the water may have run out of oxygen due to the thick ice.
Craig Schaugaard, Aquatic Manger for the Department of Wildlife Resources, said, "When we first saw that fish, we thought, 'What in the crap is this thing?'
Biologists say it's not a new species. They believe the fish could be a Lake Trout whose tissue decomposed rapidly, making its teeth more prominent. Aquatics biologists say if they can't figure it out, they'll let the fish decompose then examine the bone structure to determine the species.

City Honors Bush by Naming Sewage Plant After Him
An Enduring Legacy
As we near the end of George W Bush's presidency, we think it is important to select a fitting monument to this president's work.
