8 Extreme Animal Human


People do some pretty weird stuff to try and be happier, feel more fulfilled, or get closer to transforming into what they see as the ideal person. Besides the fact that there is plastic surgery for everything from pulling the skin back on one’s face to remove wrinkles to ass implants, people are always finding brand new ways to modify/mutilate their bodies and stand out more than the next weirdo. Here are 8 examples of people who have been transformed into animal-human hybrids, a few of which are surprisingly not vain attempts to become a creepy cat-dude.
Tom Leppard – The Tattooed Leopard Man
Guinness World Recordô - Most tattooed man.  Tom Leppard, from the Isle of Skye, Scotland, has 99.9 % of his body tattooed with a leopard-skin design.  The only parts of his body that remain free of tattoos are the insides of his ears and the skin between his toes. Picture:  Drew Gardner/Guinness World Recordsô (Tel +44 1536 790166/ +44 7860 288624)

Tom Leppard was once an officer in the British Special Forces. Upon retiring, the thought of tattooing his entire body was suddenly irresistible. Deciding he wasn’t in a very creative mood, he more or less just said, “well, my last name’s Leppard…that sounds just like ‘leopard!’” and thus the Leopard Man was born. Leppard’s tattoos cost him over £5,500, which he more than recouped by maintaining a strict diet of Friskies and the occasional mouse. The reclusive yet friendly Leopard Man lived in a secluded bothy on the Island of Skye until 2008, when his age began to catch up with him and he moved back to the mainland. We’re guessing he didn’t swim, given his feline predilections.

Jocelyn Wildenstein – The Cat WomanJocelyn Wildenstein  Famous for her extensive plastic surgery leaving Katsuya restaurant in Hollywood after dining with a male companion Los Angeles, California - 18.02.08 Credit: (Mandatory): Homero Tercero/WENN
Wildenstein is more or less a walking anti-cosmetic surgery ad. Her puffed-up face and ridiculously overworked eyes make her look more like she is on the verge of having her face explode than it does a cat. Perhaps Face-On-the-Verge-of-Exploding Woman was already taken, or maybe she couldn’t pronounce it through those lips. Apparently, Jocelyn originally began having the work done because she was fearful of losing the affections of her rich, art-dealer husband, who had a fondness for jungle cats. Eventually, and not-so-shockingly, he did leave her, yet she continued her transformation, maybe hoping she would one day get a chance to savagely maul the man who broke her heart.

Alex – The HumanimalAlex – The Humanimal
If you are currently asking yourself what in god’s name a humanimal is… Good. You are perfectly normal. Alex is a humanimal, and a damn good one at that. On his YouTube channel you can see him dressed and painted as a bunny, bull, dog, horse, deer, and many other animals, posing with his muscular physique in way that will haunt your dreams for at least a few months, if not longer. Alex only joined YouTube in October of 2009 and has already uploaded 22 videos, all humanimal-related, and based on this we can expect much more from this enterprising young fellow/weirdo.

Eric Sprague – The LizardmanEric Sprague – The Lizardman
Eric Sprague steadfastly holds on to his title as the Lizardman. Sure, there are lizards who are more lizardy than he, but that’s it. Even snakes are like, ‘nope, that guy is more of a lizard than I am. I can’t touch that. I’d love to applaud him but, you know.’ Sprague has gone the hard yards to look the way he does: almost his entire body is covered in green scale tattoos, he has subdermal implants, he has had his tongue bifurcated (split in two), his teeth are filed to sharp points, and he enjoys basking on warm rocks. Sprague has also expressed the desire to get a tail transplant in the near future. From what, a komodo dragon?

Dennis Avner – The Cat ManMBR
A picture’s worth a thousand purrs, and it’s hard to look at Dennis Avner, AKA The Cat Man, without noticing the extreme lengths he has gone to in order to look like a tiger. His teeth have been filed and capped with fangs, he has had surgery on his lip to give it that feline cleft, and he has piercings above his lip to which he can attach cat’s whiskers. In addition to this, he wears cat contact lenses to give him that eerie feline stare. Dennis admits to loving climbing trees and eating raw meat — and we’re not talking about sushi. His transformation began when a Native American tribal elder suggested to him that he follow the ways of the cat, a suggestion he took to like a cat to… extreme body modifications.

Stephan Bibrowski – Lionel The Lion-Faced ManStephan Bibrowski – Lionel The Lion-Faced Man
Stephan Bibrowski was born near Warsaw, Poland, in 1891. He was stricken with a rare disease called hypertrichosis, which causes thick (in this case blonde) hair to grow all over his body. Instead of undergoing extreme laser hair removal treatment, which was very expensive in the 1800s, Stephen decided to embrace his condition and reinvent himself as Lionel, the Lion-Faced man. He soon found his way to the famous Coney Island Freakshow, where he found great success. The hair on his face — his mane — grew to a staggering length of eight inches, while the hair on the rest of his body (which grew absolutely everywhere except for his palms and the soles of his feet) maintained an impressive length of four inches. Bibrowski eventually retired back to Europe in his later years, dying far too young for a lion-man of his stature at age 41.
Katzen the Tiger Lady



Katzen the Tiger Lady
Katzen the Tiger Lady is a performance artist who has had almost her entire body tattooed to resemble that of a tiger, even though ‘katzen’ is the German word for ‘cats’. Maybe the German word for ‘tiger,’ which is ‘tiger,’ just wasn’t exotic enough for her tastes. Besides her full body tattooing,Katzen has also had piercings done on her face that allow her to attach whiskers whenever she is performing. For a long time, Katzen was married to another heavily tattooed performer,The Enigma, whose tattoos were completed by Katzen herself, before their union. Katzen has had two litters of one – a daughter named Caitlin and a son named Felix. Noticing a trend?

Horace Ridler – The Great Omi/The Zebra ManHorace Ridler – The Great Omi-The Zebra Man
Horace Ridler was once a mild-mannered London gentleman, born to an upper-class family and possessing a healthy inheritance. After the de*th of his father and some poor investments, he enlisted in the British army at the outset of World War II and was decorated for his outstanding conduct and gallantry. When he returned from the war, however, Horace’s life was to take a bizarre turn: he resolved to become the world’s most tattooed man. Horace was most often billed as ‘The Great Omi’, but occasionally as ‘The Zebra Man,’ after the animal upon which he modeled his tattoos. Honestly though, with the almost aqueous look of his inkings, Horace looks more like a full-body version of Rorschach from Watchmen than a zebra. Maybe the tattooist had never really seen a Zebra. Maybe he was on morphine. Whatever the case, Horace Ridler will remain a major figure in the annals of sideshow history.

Photograph purporting to show a 55ft snake found in a forest in Malaysia has become an internet sensation. Biggest snake in the world
serpiente gigante
The thread claimed the snake was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road. They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth. This is Biggest snake in the world!!

“On the third dig, the operator found there was blood amongst the soil, and with a further dig, a dying snake appeared,” said the post.
“By the time the workers came back, the wounded boa had died, while the other snake had disappeared. The bulldozer operator was so sick that he couldn’t even stand up.”
The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to hospital and later died.
The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old, according to the post. Biggest snake in the world

Top 5 More Mysteries of the Unexplained


5. Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp is a humanoid cryptid which is said to inhabit areas of swampland in and around Lee County, South Carolina. He is described as being seven feet tall (over 2m), bipedal, and well built, with green scaly skin and glowing orange eyes. It is said to have three toes on each foot and three fingers on each hand which end in a circular pad on them that stick to walls. The first reported sighting of the creature was made by Christopher Davis, a 17 year old local, who said he encountered the creature while driving home from work at 2 AM on June 29, 1988. According to his account, Davis stopped on a road bordering Scape Ore Swamp in order to change a tire which had blown out. When he was finishing up he reported having heard a thumping noise from behind him and having turned around to see the creature running towards him. Davis said the creature tried to grab at the car and then jumped on its roof as he tried to escape, clinging on to it as Davis swerved from side to side in an effort to throw it off. After he returned home, Davis’ side-view-mirror was found to be badly damaged, and scratch marks were found on the car’s roof–though there was no other physical evidence of his encounter.
In the month that followed the Davis sighting there were several further reports of a large lizard like creature, and of unusual scratches and bite marks found on cars parked close to the swamp. Most of these are said to have occurred within a three-mile (5 km) radius of the swamps of Bishopville. Two weeks after the Davis sighting the sheriff’s department made several plaster casts of what appeared to be three-toed footprints – measuring some 14 inches (360 mm) in length – but decided against sending them on to the FBI for further analysis after biologists advised them that they were unclassifiable.

4. Hopkinsville Goblins
The Hopkinsville Goblins case, is a well-known and well-documented alleged Close Encounter event in the history of UFO incidents. The event occurred near the towns of Kelly and Hopkinsville, Kentucky beginning on the evening of August 21, 1955 and continuing through the next morning. UFO researcher Allan Hendry wrote “[t]his case is distinguished by its duration and also by the number of witnesses involved.” Multiple eyewitnesses would claim that, for several hours stretching over a late evening and early morning, they repeatedly saw five glowing, silvery creatures, each three feet tall and seeming to float above the ground. The witnesses additionally claimed to have used firearms to shoot at the creatures, with little or no effect.
On the evening of August 21, 1955, Billy Ray Taylor was visiting friends for dinner when he observed strange lights in the sky to the west. He called the others outside. The group saw a luminous, three-and-a-half-foot-tall being with an oversized head, big, floppy, pointed ears, glowing eyes, and hands with talons at their ends. The figure, either made of or simply dressed in silvery metal, had its hands raised. When the creature approached to within about 20 feet of the Taylor home, the men began shooting at it, one using a shotgun, the other man using a .22 rifle. The creature, they said, then flipped over and fled into the darkness. As the men stepped from the porch to look for the body, a taloned hand reached from the roof and touched them. For the next few hours, all members of the household witnessed the creatures repeatedly moving toward the house. This is such an odd story that I strongly recommend you read the full article at Cogitz.
3. Summerwind Mansion
Summerwind Mansion, formerly known as Lamont Mansion, is a now derelict cellar hole on the shores of West Bay Lake in Vilas County, North East Wisconsin. It is reputed to be one of the most haunted locations in Wisconsin. Due to abandonment, the elements and fire, little of the mansion currently remains standing. Summerwind was originally constructed during the early 20th century as a fishing lodge. In 1916 it was purchased by Robert P. Lamont, who employed Chicago architects Tallmadge and Watson to substantially remodel the property and convert it into a mansion. Lamont remained in Summerwind for approximately 15 years, during which time the maids told Lamont that the mansion was haunted, but he did not believe them. However, he is then reported to have abandoned the property suddenly in the mid 1930s after witnessing an apparition in the mansion’s kitchen.
After remaining vacant for some time, the house became the residence of Arnold and Ginger Hinshaw and their four children, who moved in during the early 1970s. It is from this time onwards that most of the haunting reports originate. After taking up residence, the Hinshaws reported a number of strange occurrences, ranging from flickering shadows that appeared to move down the hallways and soft voices that stopped when they entered rooms, to unexplained electrical/mechanical problems and sash windows that raised themselves. They also reported seeing the ghost of an unidentified woman who appeared several times in the vicinity of the house’s dining room. Within six months of moving into Summerwind, Arnold suffered a breakdown and Ginger attempted suicide. Arnold was sent for treatment and Ginger moved in with her parents in Granton, Wisconsin.
In June 1988 Summerwind was struck by lightning several times, resulting in a fire that destroyed much of the mansion. Oddly, lightning struck the house, not the taller trees around it. Today, only the house’s chimney stacks, foundations, and stone steps remain.
2. The Clapham Wood Mystery
The Clapham Wood Mystery is the name given to a collection of unusual events which are associated with the Clapham Wood, West Sussex, England, resulting in the area developing its own lore in popular culture. Events have included reports of people making unusual sights or experiencing unusual phenomena, and of family pets disappearing or sickening. There have also been several human deaths associated with the location. Since the 1960s the area has experienced a rash of UFO sighting, reports of people, experiencing nausea or the sensation of being pushed by unseen forces, or of witnessing patches of strange grey mist developing suddenly on pathways through the woods. Some people have also reported a strong sense of being followed. Studies with a gieger counter have revealed slightly elevated levels of background radiation in the area, which is surprising since the area is situated on chalk which is normally low in radiation. Early photographs of the wood appear to show a large crater or depression somewhere in the wood, though now the area is highly wooded and difficult to search.
Four deaths have occurred either in or close to the woods and have since become part of the lore surrounding it. The first death was in June 1972 when police officer Peter Goldsmith disappeared while hiking in the region. His body was discovered 6 months later. The second death was that of Leon Foster whose body was discovered in August 1975. He had been missing for 3 weeks. The third death was of Reverend Harry Neil Snelling, the former vicar of Clapham. He disappeared in October 1978 and his body was not found until 3 years later. English coroners ruled open verdicts in all three cases.
1. The Bridgewater Triangle
The Bridgewater Triangle is an area of about 200 square miles (520 km2) within southeastern Massachusetts in the United States. Since colonial times the area has been a site of alleged paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFO and “black helicopter” sightings (including many with multiple points of corroboration including police and a local news team), to poltergeists and orbs, balls of fire and other spectral phenomena, various “bigfoot” sightings, giant snakes and ‘thunderbirds’, as well as the mutilation of cattle and other livestock. Central to the area is the mysterious and largely untouched Hockomock Swamp, which means “the place where spirits dwell”, and which was called “The Devil’s Swamp” by early settlers. The Triangle also has been known to house several Indian burial grounds.
One of the most common phenomena reportedly observed in the area is “spooklights” or what otherwise matches the description of will-o’-the-wisp, sometimes known as ghost lights which are typically seen in boggy or swampy areas. The behavior of this phenomenon is consistent with mysterious lights allegedly observed within the Bridgewater Triangle, including those which are said to appear along train tracks every January.

Tomcat dan Pencegahannya

Senin, 26 Maret 2012
Posted by tt

Masyarakat diminta agar tak khawatir dengan serangan serangga Tomcat. Pakar hama dan penyakit tumbuhan dari Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Suputa, mengungkapkan, menghalau serangga Tomcat sebaiknya dilakukan dengan tiupan atau kertas. 

"Petani sebenarnya sudah 'familiar' dengan Tomcat dan tidak pernah ada masalah karena tidak memukulnya. Serangga itu tidak merugikan, tetapi justru membantu petani dalam mengendalikan hama wereng," katanya.

Ia mengatakan, Tomcat memiliki ciri tubuh memanjang berukuran sekitar satu sentimeter, kepala berwarna hitam, sedangkan dada dan perut berwarna oranye. Hewan itu memiliki dua pasang sayap yang tidak menutupi seluruh abdomen.

"Untuk pengendalian Tomcat bisa dilakukan dengan menggunakan jebakan lampu. Jika sudah banyak yang tertangkap selanjutnya dilepas di sawah atau kebun untuk penyeimbang alam,' katanya.

Menurut dia, jika Tomcat sudah tertangkap jangan langsung dibunuh, tetapi sebaiknya dilepas di alam untuk penyeimbang lingkungan. "Namun, jika populasinya besar bisa dilakukan penyemprotan dengan insektisida botani berbahan tumbuhan," kata Suputa.

Hiu Melintas Diudara ?

Rabu, 29 Februari 2012
Posted by tt
Seorang pilot di Selandia Baru tidak bisa mempercayai apa yang dilihatnya, saat seekor ikan hiu melintas di ketinggian tujuh ribu kaki. Kejadian ini berlangsung saat dirinya hendak mendaratkan pesawat.

Pilot tersebut terkejut melihat ikan hiu sepanjang 1,5 meter melintasi pesawat ketika mendarat di Bandara Internasional Christchurch.

Saat diselidiki, ikan hiu tersebut ternyata sebuah mainan radio kontrol yang terbang di udara. Mainan yang laku keras selama perayaan Natal ini dikenal dengan 'Air Swimmer".

Seperti dilansir Orange, Sabtu (7/1/2012), Polisi pun terus dibanjiri laporan ikan hiu yang dapat mengudara usai kejadian ini menimpa pilot yang kebingunan tersebut.

Tetapi, meski sempat membuat pilot itu terkejut. Ikan hiu yang berbahan bakar helium tersebut sepertinya tidak menimbulkan gangguan pada penerbangan dan sang pilot pun bisa mendaratkan pesawat dengan aman.

Asal Mula Penyakit AIDS



Virus HIV AIDS sebenarnya bukan berasal dari simpanse, tetapi ciptaan para ilmuwan yang kemudian diselewengkan melalui rekayasa tertentu untuk memusnahkan etnis tertentu. (Jerry D. Gray, Dosa-dosa Media Amerika - Mengungkap Fakta Tersembunyi Kejahatan Media Barat, Ufuk Press 2006 h. 192).

Tulisan Allan Cantwell, Jr. M.D. ini mengungkapakan rahasia asal-usul AIDS dan HIV, juga bagaimana ilmuwan menghasilkan penyakit yang paling menakutkan kemudian menutup-nutupinya.

Teori” Monyet Hijau

1.Tidak sedikit orang yang sudah mendengar teori bahwa AIDS adalah ciptaan manusia. Menurut The New York Times yang terbit 29 Oktober 1990, tiga puluh persen penduduk kulit hitam di New York City benar-benar percaya bahwa AIDS adalah “senjata etnis” yang didesain di dalam laboratorium untuk menginfeksi dan membunuh kalangan kulit hitam. Sebagian orang bahkan menganggap teori konspirasi AIDS lebih bisa dipercaya dibandingkan teori monyet hijau Afrika yang dilontarkan para pakar AIDS. Sebenarnya sejak tahun 1988 para peneliti telah membuktikan bahwa teori monyet hijau tidaklah benar. Namun kebanyakan edukator AIDS terus menyampaikan teori ini kepada publik hingga sekarang. Dalam liputan-liputan media tahun 1999, teori monyet hijau telah digantikan dengan teori simpanse di luar Afrika. Simpanse yang dikatakan merupakan asal-usul penyakit AIDS ini telah diterima sepenuhnya oleh komunitas ilmiah.

2. “Pohon keturunan” filogenetik virus primata (yang hanya dipahami segelintir orang saja) ditampilkan untuk membuktikan bahwa HIV diturunkan dari virus primata yang berdiam di semak Afrika. Analisis data genetika virus ditunjukkan melalui “supercomputer” di Los Alamos, Mexico, menunjukkan bahwa HIV telah “melompati spesies’, dari simpanse ke manusia sekitar tahun 1930 di Afrika.

Eksperimen Hepatitis B Pra-AIDS kepada Pria Gay (1978-1981)

Ribuan pria gay mendaftar sebagai manusia percobaan untuk eksperimen vaksin hepatitis B yang “disponsori pemerintah AS” di New York, Los Angeles, dan San Fransisco. Setelah beberapa tahun, kota-kota tersebut menjadi pusat sindrom defisiensi kekebalan terkait gay, yang belakangan dikenal dengan AIDS. Di awal 1970-an, vaksin hepatitis B dikembangkan di dalam tubuh simpanse. Sekarang hewan ini dipercaya sebagai asal-usul berevolusinya HIV. Banyak orang masih merasa takut mendapat vaksin hepatitis B lantaran asalnya yang terkait dengan pria gay dan AIDS. Para dokter senior masih bisa ingat bahwa eksperimen vaksin hepatitis awalnya dibuat dari kumpulan serum darah para homoseksual yang terinfeksi hepatitis.

Kemungkinan besar HIV “masuk” ke dalam tubuh pria gay selama uji coba vaksin ini. Ketika itu, ribuan homoseksual diinjeksi di New York pada awal 1978 dan di kota-kota pesisir barat sekitar tahun 1980-1981.

Apakah jenis virus yang terkontaminasi dalam program vaksin ini yang menyebabkan AIDS? Bagaimana dengan program WHO di Afrika? Bukti kuat menunjukkan bahwa AIDS berkembang tak lama setelah program vaksin ini. AIDS merebak pertama kali di kalangan gay New York City pada tahun 1979, beberapa bulan setelah eksperimen dimulai di Manhattan. Ada fakta yang cukup mengejutkan dan secara statistik sangat signifikan, bahwa 20% pria gay yang menjadi sukarelawan eksperimen hepatitis B di New York diketahui mengidap HIV positif pada tahun 1980 (setahun sebelum AIDS menjadi penyakit “resmi’). Ini menunjukkan bahwa pria Manhattan memiliki kejadian HIV tertinggi dibandingkan tempat lainnya di dunia, termasuk Afrika, yang dianggap sebagai tempat kelahiran HIV dan AIDS. Fakta lain yang juga menghebohkan adalah bahwa kasus AIDS di Afrika yang dapat dibuktikan baru muncul setelah tahun 1982. Sejumlah peneliti yakin bahwa eksperimen vaksin inilah yang berfungsi sebagai saluran tempat “berjangkitnya” HIV ke populasi gay di Amerika. Namun hingga sekarang para ilmuwan AIDS mengecilkan koneksi apapun antara AIDS dengan vaksin tersebut.

Umum diketahui bahwa di Afrika, AIDS berjangkit pada orang heteroseksual, sementara di Amerika Serikat AIDS hanya berjangkit pada kalangan pria gay. Meskipun pada awalnya diberitahukan kepada publik bahwa “tak seorang pun kebal AIDS”, faktanya hingga sekarang ini (20 tahun setelah kasus pertama AIDS), 80% kasus AIDS baru di Amerika Serikat berjangkit pada pria gay, pecandu narkotika, dan pasangan seksual mereka. Mengapa demikian? Tentunya HIV tidak mendiskriminasi preferensi seksual atau ras tertentu. Apakah benar demikian?

Keserupaan dengan FLU Burung

Di pertengahan tahun 1990-an, para ahli biologi berhasil mengidentifikasi setidaknya 8 subtipe (strain) HIV yang menginfeksi berbagai orang di seluruh dunia. Telah terbukti, strain B adalah strain pra dominan yang menginfeksi gay di AS. Strain HIV ini lebih cenderung menginfeksi jaringan rektum, itu sebabnya para gay yang cenderung menderita AIDS dibandingkan non-gay

Sebaliknya, Strain HIV yang umum dijumpai di Afrika cenderung menginfeksi vagina dan sel serviks (leher rahim), sebagaimana kulup penis pria. Itu sebabnya, di Afrika, HIV cenderung berjangkit pada kalangan heteroseksual.

Para pakar AIDS telah memeberitahukan bahawa AIDS Amerika berasal dari Afrika, padahal Strain HIV yang umum dijumpai di kalangan pria gay nyaris tak pernah terlihat di Afrika! Bagaimana bisa demikian? Apakah sebagian Strain HIV direkayasa agar mudah beradaptasi ke sel yang cenderung menginfeksi kelamin gay?

Telah diketahui, pria ilmuwan SCVP (Special Virus Cancer Program) mampu mengadaptasi retrovirus tertentu agar menginfeksi jenis sel tertentu. Tak kurang sejak tahun 1970, para ilmuwan perang biologis telah belajar mendesain agen-agen (khususnya virus) tertentu yang bisa menginfeksi dan menyerang sel kelompok rasial “tertentu”. Setidaknya tahun 1997, Stephen O’Brien dan Michael Dean dari Laboratorium Keanekaragaman Genom di National Cancer Institute menunjukkan bahwa satu dari sepuluh orang kulit putih memiliki gen resisten-AIDS, sementara orang kulit hitam Afrika tidak memiliki gen semacam itu sama sekali. Kelihatannya, AIDS semakin merupakan “virus buatan manusia yang menyerang ras tertentu” dibandingkan peristiwa alamiah.

Berkat bantuan media Amerika, virus ini menyebar ke jutaan orang tertentu di seluruh dunia sebelum segelintir orang mulai waspada akan kejahatan di balik penciptaan virus ini. Di tahun 1981, pejabat kesehatan memastikan “masyarakat umum” bahwa tak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan. “AIDS adalah penyakit gay” adalah jargon yang sering dikumandangkan media.

Setidaknya tahun 1987, Robert Gallo memberitahu reporter Playboy, David Black, “Saya pribadi belum pernah menemukan satu kasus pun (di Amerika) dimana pria terkena virus (AIDS) dari seorang wanita melalui hubungan intim heteroseksual .” Gallo melanjutkan, “AIDS tak akan menjadi bahaya yang tak bisa teratasi bagi masyarakat umum.” Apakah ini sekedar spekulasi ataukah Gallo mengetahui sesuatu yang tidak ia ceritakan?

Fakta Unik: Kucing Nan Menggemaskan

Rabu, 22 Februari 2012
Posted by tt

Da Greats. Siapa sih yang tidak mengenal dengan makhluk nan gemes ini. Mulai dari kucing kampung yang sering nyolong ikan asin hingga kucing model persia yang dimanja dan sering pergi ke salon. Perilakunya pun sangat menggemaskan. Hewan ini sangat kooperatif dengan manusia. Namun ternyata dibalik lucu dan gemesnya makhluk ini, ternyata menyimpan satu potensi bahaya yang cukup besar. Si puss ini ternyata bisa menjadi media yang tepat dalam menyebarkan sejumlah bibit penyakit dan virus. Mulai dari tokso hingga yang namanya rabies yang sangat mengerikan. Untuk menambah pengetahuan kita semua, berikut ini adalah sejumlah fakta unik yang patut kita simak : 

  1. Tahukah kamu, kucing (Felis silvestrid-catus), terutama kucingrumah adalah salah satu hewan predator paling hebat didunia. Kucing ini mampu membunuh dan atau memakan beberapa ribu species, mengalahkan kucing besar (sepertisinga, harimau, dan sejenisnya) yang hanya mampu memangsa kurang dari 100 species. Namun karena ukurannya terbilang kecil, maka tidak berbahaya bagi manusia (syukurlah...). Namun tetap saja sangat berbahaya apabila kucing ini terinfeksi rabies.
  2. Kucing telah berasosiasi dengan kehidupan manusiasekurangnya sejak 3500 tahun yang lalu. Ketika itu orang Mesir kuno telah menggunakan kucing untuk mengusir hama tikus dan hewan pengerat lainnya dari hasil panen mereka. Namun, percaya atau tidak, di dunia ini hanya terdapat 1% populasi kucing di dunia yang termasuk galur murni atau kucing ras. Sisanya adalah kucing hasil pencampuran dari berbagai ras atau biasa yang kita sebut sebagai kucing kampung. Karena itu, kucing ras termasuk kucing yang paling sering dicari dan mahal harganya.
  3. Di Indonesia, suara kucing sering ditulis dengan kata "Meong". Dalam bahasa Inggris yang digunakan di Amerika, suara kucing sering ditulis dengan "Meow". Di negara Inggris sendiri, suara kucing ditulis "Miaow". Kalau bahasa Jepang sering ditulis dengan kata "Nya".
  4. Kucing biasanya memiliki berat badan antara 2,5 hingga 7 kg dan jarang melebihi 10 kg, kecuali diberi makan berlebih, sipussy bisa mencapai berat badan 23 kg. Dalam penangkaran,kucing dapat hidup selama 15 hingga 20 tahun, dimana kucing tertua pernah diketahui berusia 36 tahun! Kucing liar yang hidup di lingkungan urban modern hanya mampu hidup selama 2 tahun atau bahkan kurang dari itu.
  5. Kucing termasuk hewan yang sangat bersih. Mereka sering merawat diri dengan menjilati rambut mereka. Saliva atau air liur mereka adalah agen pembersih yang kuat. tapi dapat memicu alergi pada manusia. Kadang kala kucing memuntahkan semacam hair ball atau gulungan rambut yang terkumpul di dalam perutnya. Sementara itu kucing dapat menyimpan energi dengan cara tidur lebih sering ketimbang hewan lain. Lama tidur kucing bervariasi antara 12 - 16 jam perhari, dengan angka rata-rata 13 - 14 jam. Tapi tidak jarang dijumpai kucing yang tidur selama 20 jam dalam satu hari!
  6. Percaya atau tidak, di abad pertengahan kucing dianggap berasosiasi dengan penyihir dan sering dibunuh dengan cara dibakar dan dilempar dari tempat tinggi. Sejumlah ahli sejarah percaya bahwa wabah Black Death atau wabah pes menyebar dengan cepat di Eropa pada abad ke-14 akibat tahyul itu. Hal itu disebabkan banyaknya pembunuhan kucing yang dilakukan sehingga meningkatkan populasi tikus yang membawa wabah pes tersebut.
