Jay Garbose discovered a sea serpent off the shores of Juno Beach that even the Smithsonian is having a difficult time placine.  At this time, the Smithsonian is describing is as a Nemertean Worm, but they aren't positive on that description.  Until they can really narrow down on what this thing is, they are calling it "undescribed".  [Video]

BBC Wildlife holds an annual wildlife photography competition to find the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year as well as other award-worthy photography (other competition categories can be viewed here).

The photographer of the year for 2006 is Goran Ehlme who won with a shot of a walrus feeding on clams.  Goran almost deleted the award-winning shot from his camera until he noticed a walrus's head poking through a cloud of sediment.  Link.
