A deep-sea graveyard discovered by chance off the coast of Angola has revealed where some of the the largest animals in the sea go to die. Researchers were stunned to find the carcasses of four large marine creatures - a whale shark and three rays - laying at the bottom of the ocean floor. Each was surrounded by around 50 scavengers in a food frenzy, giving new insights into how large sea creatures are ‘recycled’ when they die.
Un cementerio en las profundidades fué descubierto por casualidad frente a las costas de Angola, y se ha puesto de manifiesto que algunos de los animales más grandes de la mar es a donde van a morir. Los investigadores se sorprendieron al encontrar los cadáveres de cuatro grandes criaturas marinas - un tiburón ballena y tres rayas - en el fondo del océano.

The relative sequence of muscle activity is shared across the Rhinobatos genus, but varies in timing and duration of muscular activation.
The new shovelnose ray, Rhinobatos whitei is described from material collected at fish markets of the southern Philippines. This ray was first formally indentified as an undescribed species more than a decade ago as part of a WWF funded survey of sharks and rays of the Philippines. It was considered to be most closely related to another shovelnose ray found nearby in the western North Pacific, R. schlegelii, but differs from that species in body shape and aspects of coloration, meristics and morphometry.

 The tiny unidentified creature, which is only 5 millimeters long, was found in the Suriname rainforest by ecologists who discovered 60 new species on a research expedition last year. A photo of the planthopper was featured on National Geographic.
The bug's wild "hairdo" is actually waxy secretions from its abdomen that are thought to be a defense mechanism to distract predators from its more vulnerable parts, according to conservation biologist Trond Larsen, who discovered the bug on a trip to the South American rainforest last year.
