Spooky! In 1939, General Motors built a Pontiac Deluxe Six Ghost Car with a body made of transparent acrylic glass! Sweden's elk bot flies spray their young into the noses of elk, where they feed on blood and mucus as they develop, but occasionally they mistakenly spray a human's eyes instead! To catch seals off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, 2000 pound sharks swim up rapidly from beneath- sometimes launching both shark and pray as high as 10 feet out of the water!

Myiasis is the medical term for an infestation of fly larvae in an animal host. It’s not pretty. If you want to lose your lunch, go to YouTube and use “Myiasis” as a search term.

I’m real fond of seals and sea lions, so I hope they become safe from those sharks. But then again, we have to remember the eco-system and that sharks have to eat,too.
