Computer models explain lizards killer strength (science illustrated jan/feb 2009)

This article was about the strength of a Komodo dragon bite. Despite what you might think a Komodo Dragon's bite would be very strong but it really isn't. Komodo dragons have pretty weak jaws and they're only able to hold on is the pressure is in the back of the jaw. Another part to this is the muscles are getting most of the pressure. My thoughts on this is the reason Komodo Dragons are so deadly is because of its deadly venom.

380 million year old gives birth (discover magazine Jan 2009)

This article was about a fossil of a fish giving birth. This fish is the worlds oldest evidence of copulation. Unlike most fish today though this little fishy (pook pook)
had an embryo which gives us evidence of fertilization inside the mother. The fish is part of a group called Ptyctodonts. The fish was found in Australia and if I'm correct is part of the Museum Victoria in Melbourne.

Legal rights for great apes (discover magazines Jan 2009)

For my first article of 15 I'm gonna put up the one about great apes. The Great Ape Project was trying to give great apes (Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Orangutans, Bonobos)Legal rights. But the Spanish Parliament's environmental committee approved the resolution of granting great apes legal rights. The rights of great apes are same as humans life,liberty,protection from torture. Also Netherlands,Britain,and Scandinavia are already phasing out all projects and stuff that are harmful to great apes. Now to conclude I think its good that steps are being taken to protect great apes due to intelligence but also personally think that this should be the case with all smart animals.
