486-leg new millipede species discovered
Naturalists recently discovered a tiny arthropod beneath at a hiking trail in Southern California next to a motorway in Los Angeles.(millipede species)
It is translucent and sinuous like a jellyfish tentacle, about the length of a paperclip but as thin as a pencil lead. The monster uses horn-like antennas that protrude from its head to navigate, burrows four inches below the surface, secretes strange substances, and is blind. The millipede appears to have 486 legs and a helmet-like head under a microscope.
The journal ZooKeys published their research on the species, whose scientific name is Illacme socal. Los Angeles Thread Millipede is the common name for the species.

Peru finds colossal whale remains
The remains of a massive whale that may have been heavier than the blue whale have been discovered by scientists. The whale, known as Perucetus colossus, weighed up to 375 tonnes (340 metric tonnes) and lived 39 million years ago in what is now Peru. The relics, which are significantly larger than any whale bones found today, contain 13 vertebrae, four ribs, and a hip bone. The scientists think the whale was a filter-feeder with no teeth that swam in shallow seas. The discovery provides fresh insight into the diversity and evolution of prehistoric whales.
a shipment of a rare orange lobster
A Red Lobster restaurant in Arkansas received a shipment of an extremely uncommon orange lobster, which will now spend the rest of its days in an aquarium.
The odd crustacean was found by workers at the Red Lobster in Hot Springs in a cargo that had just arrived from Maine. The roughly seven-year-old lobster was donated to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s Ripley’s Aquarium by restaurant management. One in 30 million lobsters are thought to have the uncommon coloring.
