A report by The Today Show on the science for cloning long-dead animals of course takes the jazzy approach of musing upon the possibility of resurrecting dinosaurs and woolly mammoths. We'd settle for the American Passenger Pigeon.]]> http://susty.com/cloning-animals-extinct-species-scientific-reality-dinosaur-wolly-mammoth-video/feed/ 0 Red-Tailed Hawk of Gramercy Park Perched on Edwin Booth Statue http://susty.com/red-tailed-hawk-gramercy-park-perched-edwin-booth-statue-photo/ http://susty.com/red-tailed-hawk-gramercy-park-perched-edwin-booth-statue-photo/#comments Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:52:16 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6640 Red-Tailed Hawk of Gramercy Park has been spending quite a bit of time perched on the head of the Edwin Booth statue.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 Conservation International Screening of the Movie HOME – Part 1 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0 10 Fantastic Species Discovered Last Year http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/ http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/#comments Wed, 27 May 2009 00:05:25 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6509 http://susty.com/10-fantastic-species-discovered-last-year/feed/ 0 Baby Kangaroos Debut at Rome Zoo – Raw Video http://susty.com/baby-kangaroos-rome-zoo-debut-video/ http://susty.com/baby-kangaroos-rome-zoo-debut-video/#comments Fri, 22 May 2009 17:27:31 +0000 by Team Susty, Global http://susty.com/?p=6322 http://susty.com/baby-kangaroos-rome-zoo-debut-video/feed/ 0 Galapagos Sea Lions: Amazing Slow-Motion Video http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/ http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 16:44:09 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6461 Wired, BBC footage of underwater video and Galapagos sea lions diving in super slo-motion.]]> http://susty.com/galapagos-sea-lions-amazing-slow-motion-video/feed/ 2 Hummingbird Neck Evolution Adaptive Advantage: Amazing Slow-Motion Video http://susty.com/hummingbird-neck-evolution-adaptive-advantage-amazing-slow-motion-video/ http://susty.com/hummingbird-neck-evolution-adaptive-advantage-amazing-slow-motion-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 15:59:11 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6449 Wired:
A hummingbird’s neck is structured like a bucket holding liquids that slosh back and forth to stabilize its head. Because it evolved this way, the bird has an adaptive advantage to find flowers and food that other animals can’t reach.
