BFF: goose and man on scooter

Maria the goose and Dominic the scooterist have a special thing going on: every morning they take walks together in the park acting like nothing would ever come between them. Maria is very possessive, she always walks alongside Dominic while he is in the park, keeping other geese, animals and people away from Dominic, by biting them. When he leaves in his scooter, she always flies alongside him for a short distance and then return to the park.

Cross-eyed opossum will predict the Oscar winners

Apparently, Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum from Leipzig, Germany, will attempt to do with movies, what Paul the Octopus has done with soccer.

Leipzig Zoo Director Joerg Junghold told Germany's RTL television on Friday that Heidi will be appearing on the "Jimmy Kimmel Show" alongside the Oscars on Feb. 27.

He isn't revealing much about the show but says: "quite similar to Paul, it will be about tips." He says Heidi will be filmed in Germany over the next few days for the U.S. show.

Animal facts: the Moray eel's jaw

From Wikipedia:

Moray eels' heads are too narrow to create the negative pressure that most fish use to swallow prey. Quite possibly because of this, they have a second set of jaws in their throat called pharyngeal jaws, which also possess teeth. When feeding, morays launch these jaws into the mouth, where they grasp prey and transport it into the throat and digestive system. Moray eels are the only animal that uses pharyngeal jaws to actively capture and restrain prey. Larger morays are capable of seriously wounding humans.
