Inflatable Shark Discovered

Many animals and other living organisms had been named by science in the past but hundreds more are still waiting to be baptized (or at least named if the former is a strong word to be considered lol). Just recently, an inflatable shark was among the 300 new species discovered in the Philippines. These discoveries put the island nation of the Philippines on the news today. Try searching yahoo news if it sounds too good to be true hehe. In fact, one of the researchers was quoted saying "All these new findings help support the idea that the Philippines "is one of the hottest of the hotspots for diverse and threatened life on Earth,". Cool yeah?

These sharks can inflate their bellies to look bigger and scare off predators. I wonder how they do that! Check out yahoo news for the complete story with images at this link Yahoo News.

The second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia or better known as the Philippines celebrated its 113th independence on June 12, 2011. History has it that different races ruled and colonized the Philippines with Spanish being the longest. In fact, there are several Spanish words that Filipinos make use like Kuryente (current), pera (pear), etc. Even to this day, there are some establishment built during the Spanish era that can be seen almost anywhere.

With those mentioned above, I would like to congratulate the Philippines for its independence..
