Three new species of legless amphibians have been discovered from forests in Manipur and Nagaland by researchers led by Delhi University Associate Professor S.D. Biju.

Penelope was born as a "little" 90 lb (41 kg) pup in early January 1998 at the Año Nuevo State Reserve on the Californian coast. She is now a 1,500 lb (680 kg) full grown female Northern Elephant Seal with 6 pups and thanks to her very own Facebook, she has many fans who have contributed to her fame. Penelope Seal is known as gnarly seal and a survivor considering 50% of her species will die before they reach maturity.
