Cool video

Someone took their robotic/animatronic baby dinosaur to Sea World, and set it in front of the dolphin tank. The dolphins spot it about 1:46 in.

It's sweet. But as John Aravosis said in his AmericaBlog post about the dolphins: "These guys are starting to freak me out."

So I've started watching The Daily Show instead of the local news. One of the stories discussed how Burmese pythons that escaped from pet stores and homes during hurricanes are now invading the Everglades and other areas and competing with local fauna. A spokesperson for the Nature Conservancy estimated that there could be as many as 30,000 pythons in Florida, and that they could migrate as far north as the DC/Maryland area.

Burmese pythons can grow 15 feet (5 meters) or more in length. They are strong enough to fight alligators.

And I thought the water moccasins were bad.
