It appears all the world's animals have finally been discovered, their strange mating behaviors documented, and their interest in acting all crazy for YouTube evaporated. But we are undaunted. We will make the logical transition and become a knitting blog.</p> <p>Once again, we bring you critters from <a href="http://mochimochiland.com/">Mochimochi Land</a> complete with their creator's commentary. Past installments <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/2008/03/snails_versus_slugs_and_friend.php">here</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/2007/09/sleepy_snake_eats_mischievous.php">here</a>. </p> <p><strong>Evolving Punk</strong><br /> <img src="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/wp-content/blogs.dir/253/files/2012/04/i-f08bd667decde9c6c1458ab90c249b71-mochimochi evoling punk.jpg" alt="i-f08bd667decde9c6c1458ab90c249b71-mochimochi evoling punk.jpg" /><br /> Evolution is still a pretty radical idea - just ask this little Evolving Punk.

Whoever can devour their leaves first will be the superior species! However, a third party seems to have disrupted an otherwise fair fight...</p> <p><img src="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/wp-content/blogs.dir/253/files/2012/04/i-e5b08eec90d1d2306b958791aea53f83-mochimochi eat off 2.jpg" alt="i-e5b08eec90d1d2306b958791aea53f83-mochimochi eat off 2.jpg" /><br /> The slugs may not have won this round, but one snail in particular has most certainly lost. No matter, though--the others are still blithely munching away. </p> <p>more below the fold</p> <!--more--><p><strong>Sausage Dogs</strong><br /> <img src="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/wp-content/blogs.dir/253/files/2012/04/i-4fef3c8bf5595d9a4a3ea53a13d9bf75-mochimochi sausage dogs.jpg" alt="i-4fef3c8bf5595d9a4a3ea53a13d9bf75-mochimochi sausage dogs.jpg" /><br /> These 8 dogs are linked together sausage style.
