Freaky fish fuel nightmares
In this undated handout photo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a northern snakehead fish is held. The northern snakehead, dubbed "Frankenfish", is an invasive species from Asia that threatens North American ecosystems. The fish is highly predatory and some species have the ability to breathe air while crossing land to new bodies of water. The snakehead has been found in parts of Maryland as well as in Lake Michigan.
Snakehead fish move along the ground using their fins at a fish farm in Singapore July 27, 2002. Popular in parts of Asia for its medicinal benefits, the aggressive fish - which has a voracious appetite and can live out of water for days - has become a threat in parts of the United States, where its unintended introduction has led to the destruction of local fish.
n this photo released by Tsunemi Kubodera, a researcher with Japan's National Science Museum, a giant squid attacking a bait squid is being pulled up by his research team off the Ogasawara Islands, south of Tokyo, on Dec. 4, 2006. The research team, led by Kubodera, has succeeded in filming the giant squid live, possibly for the first time, at the surface as they captured it off the remote island of Chichijima, which is about 960 kilometers (600 miles) southeast of Tokyo. About seven meters (24 feet) long squid died in the process of being caught. The photo was made out of the video they filmed.
This undated image provided by seaphotos.com shows the face of a Histiophryne psychedelica, a highly atypical a psychedelic frogfish (Antennaridae) first described in 2009 from a handful of specimens photographed in Ambon, Indonesia in 2008. It has a vestigial, non-functional lure (illicium/esca) and probably traps its prey inside coral holes and crevices or within coral rubble. The unusual pattern is thought to mimic the appearance of several kinds of hermatypic coral, and while varying slightly from individual to individual, appears to remain unchanged throughout the life of each individual

The frill shark, also known as a Frilled shark usually lives in waters of a depth of 600 meters and so it is very rare that this shark is found alive at sea-level. It's body shape and the number of gill are similar to fossils of sharks which lived 350,000,000 years ago

Norwegian scientists who explored the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean said Thursday Aug. 5, 2004 their findings, including what appear to be new species of fish and squid, could be used to protect marine ecosystems worldwide. Researchers on the MAR-ECO expedition, which spent two months mapping the undersea ecosystem around the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the world's largest mountain range, said they found an unexpected diversity of marine life near the sea bottom. "Overall, we've been struck by the diversity of life," said Odd Aksel Bergstad, the expedition's leader and a senior scientist at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway. Seen here a specimen captured during the Mar-ECO cruise of the ceratioid angler fish of the genus Lophodolus that may be a new species. The fish differed from two known species in the genus by the structure of the head and the form of the "lure" at the tip of the luring apparatus.

Toyota Aqua witha fuel economy 35 km/L
Mileage close to 40 kilometers per litre of petrol, performance and comforts at par with the celebrated hybrid Prius—all comes packed under the name The Toyota Prius c (Aqua in Japan) at a price of US$21,700 (INR 11 lakhs). One month’s sales has crossed 10 months’ target: 120,000 orders, and the pace of booking is getting more frenzied. For 17 hours a day, in every 75 seconds, one car rolls out of the assembly line. Currently available in Japan,US and Canada, the Aqua has stolen hearts in various auto shows across the world, and auto markets yearn for her. When does the Aqua come to India?
The world’s number one car maker Toyota Motor Corp launched compact hybrid car in Japan with listed mileage of just under 40 km/litre, giving it the best fuel economy among gasoline-electric cars, according to media reports
The vehicle, called the Aqua, will use the same powertrain as Toyota's Prius, the reports mentioned. The Prius gets 32 km/litre in Japan. The reports also stated that the car is likely to sell for around 1.7 million yen ($22,000) in Japan, about 300,000 yen less than the Prius, and will target younger drivers and women
According to the reports, Toyota which dominates the hybrid field, has said it would launch about 10 more gasoline-electric models by 2015 and offer a fuel-sipping option across its entire line-up by around 2020.
At the Detroit auto show, Toyota unveiled the latest addition to its growing fleet of hybrid cars, the Prius c city car (launched as the Aqua in Japan)
Toyota AQUA, a compact-class hybrid vehicle that aims to provide the joys of hybrid vehicle ownership -such as superior fuel efficiency, user friendliness and fun- at an affordable price
The AQUA combines the features of a 5-seater compact car with hybrid drive to offer groundbreaking fuel efficiency of approximately 35 km/L (under the Japanese JC08 test cycle; 40 km/L under the 10-15 test cycle
3,995 mm long, the AQUA’s stylish proportions and minimised height enhance its aerodynamic performance while still offering interior comfort and ample luggage capacity. The state-of-the-art, compact and lightweight hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter engine with a high-output motor to create the most efficient hybrid powertrain yet
Moreover the system has been packaged to give a low centre of gravity for outstanding handling, agile maneuverability, and enjoyable operation
Following its launch in Japan the AQUA will be sequentially rolled out to other regions worldwide, except the European market
