>Bizarre “Otherworldly” Cyclops Shark Discovered in Mexico
>
‘Otherworldly’ Shark Caught Baffles Scientists
The recent discovery of a shark fetus which appears to have a single, cyclops-looking eye in the center of it’s head is creating quite a stir in the scientific community. Take a look at the images and see for yourself… It is quite bizarre indeed.
The three-foot-long unborn shark was reported to have been removed from a large dead bull shark captured by fishermen in the Sea of Cortez – beyond La Paz, capital of Baja California Sur. The story was first reported about the bizarre shark on the Pisces Sportfishing blog under the title “Freak Shark Puzzles Scientists.”
The images of the shark fetus where shared with two well-known shark experts from California on Monday. Both experts, at least initially, believed the story to be some kind of hoax. One of them jokingly called the species as a “Cyclopotomus” due to what appears to be a single eye just above the animal’s mouth.
However, renowned shark expert Felipe Galvan has also seen the shark personally and has even written a scientific paper on the discovery. “When I have an answer from the journal I will give you more information,” Galvan stated Monday night via email.
The story is now beginning to make rounds on numerous shark-related websites. One such post from Monday on the Shark Diver blog comments, “The eye is the freaky part and we might have called “Faux Shark” on this one until word that renown shark scientist Dr. Felipe Galvan had seen, studied, and produced an initial paper on this otherworldly animal.”
So, take a look and judge for yourself… Is this real or an elaborate hoax?

9 Largest Fish Ever Caught
Every sport fisherman dreams of catching “the big one,” a world- record lunker that will get his or her name forever etched in the annals of fishing history. Of course, most of us understand we’ll never realize this dream, and would instead be perfectly content to set a new personal best every couple of years. But there are people who have lived the dream—people who have landed monster fish certified by the International Game Fish Association as world records. So, to inspire anglers everywhere and keep dreams alive, here are 9 of the largest fish ever caught (by species).
9. Blue Catfish
This world record blue catfish (Ictalurus furcatus) was landed by 47-year-old Missouri resident Greg Bernal at 1:30 A.M. on July 21, 2010. He caught the beast with rod and reel in the Missouri River. At 57 inches long, 45 inches in girth, and a whopping 130 pounds, the fish beats five-year-old previous world record—also caught in Missouri—by a solid 6 pounds.

8. Giant Trevally
Keiki Hamasaki of Kagoshima, Japan caught this 160 lb. 7 oz. giant grevally (Caranx ignoblis) not far from his hometown on May 22, 2006. Casting a lure from the shore on a 130-pound test line, it took him 35 minutes to hall the fish in. It beat the previous record, set by Russel Mori, by 25 pounds.

7. Giant Tigerfish
The giant tigerfish (Hydrocynus goliath ), found in rivers throughout central Africa, is famous (and almost certainly named) for its giant teeth. These teeth can take a chunk out of just about anything, including human limbs, so fishing for these things can be quite hazardous to one’s health. The world record giant tigerfish, caught on rod and real and pictured here, was landed on July 9, 1988 by Raymond Houtmans. It weighed a whopping 97 pounds.

6. Alligator Gar
The absolutely terrifying Alligator Gar (Atractosteus spatula) is typically found in the Southeastern portion of the United States, but they have been seen as far north as Illinois and as far south as Veracruz, Mexico. Historically despised because they feed on prized game fish like largemouth bass—and because they are scary as hell—recently there has been a surge in “Gar hunting.” The one pictured here, for example, may be the world record for Alligator Gar killed by bow and arrow. It was shot in Texas by John Paul Morris, the son of Bass Pro Shops CEO Johnny Morris. The beast measured 8’3” and weighed 230 pounds!

5. Largemouth Bass
In North America, the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmonides) record is considered the “holy grail” of freshwater fishing records. This is primarily due to two factors. First, largemouth bass are among the most sought-after game fish, and bass fishing is a billion dollar industry. Second, the world record for largemouth bass is one of the oldest and most revered in the world, having stood for an incredible 77 years. And while this hallowed record has not yet fallen, it has been tied. Manabu Kurita of Aichi, Japan caught a 22 lb. 4 oz. bass on July 2, 2009 in Lake Biwa near Kyoto, tying the record set by George Perry of Jacksonville, Georgia on June 2, 1932. There was much debate and quite a bit of controversy surrounding this record-setting catch, given the sanctity of the record involved, but the International Game Fish Association went to great lengths to verify the record—even subjecting Mr. Kurita to a polygraph test, which he passed. So, the record is officially tied.

4. Mekong Giant “Grizzly Bear” Catfish
On May 1, 2005 Fishermen in northern Thailand netted what scientists believe is the largest freshwater fish ever recorded, let alone caught. At 9 feet long and 646 pounds, the Mekong giant catfish (Pangasianodon gigas) was the size of an adult grizzly bear. Since this species of fish is considered critically endangered, the fishermen tried their best to keep the brute alive, but were unsuccessful. It was later eaten by local villagers.

3. Swordfish
The swordfish (Xiphias gladius) world record was set all the way back on May 7, 1953 off the coast of Iquique, Chile, by Lou Marron. The fish Marron landed after a grueling 2-hour fight was 179.25 inches long and weighed 1,182 pounds. It was one of the heaviest fish ever caught on rod and reel. Today, the restored mount of the fish is on display at the International Game Fish Association Fishing hall of fame & Museum in Miami, FL.

2. Atlantic Blue Marlin
The record for Atlantic Blue Marlin (Makaira nigricans) has the distinction of being set on a Leap Day. On Feburary 29, 1992, after an 80 minute battle , Paulo Amorim landed a whopper off the coast of Vitória, Brazil that weighed in at 1,402 pounds. This beat the old record by an impressive 120 pounds.

1. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
Ken Fraser caught the world’s biggest Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in Aulds Cove, Nova Scotia back on October 26, 1979. He landed the 1,496 pound fish in an impressive 45 minutes, and has been basking in the glory ever since. These days, Ken Fraser has a slick website which he uses to peddle the book he wrote about his catch, Possessed. (Perhaps the book would be more appropriately titled Obsessed?)

Dacia
Dacia Automobile SA este cel mai mare si cel mai important producator roman de automobile, care din septembrie 1999 apartine grupului francez Renault. Obiectul de activitate al societatii il constituie producerea si comercializarea de automobile, piese auto, masini unelte si instalatii pentru industria de automobile.
Istorie
Inceputuri. Cautarea unei licente. Dacia 1100 si 1300.
Pentru a reduce timpul intre proiectare si lansarea in productia de serie a unui autoturism, autoritatile romane au considerat necesara producerea unui autoturism sub licenta obtinuta de la un producator strain. Se dorea o licenta pentru un autoturism din clasa medie cu o capacitate cilindrica cuprinsa intre 1.000 si 1.300 cm2 si sa se produca intre 40.000 si 50.000 automobile pe an. La licitatie au participat Renault, Peugeot, Fiat, Alfa Romeo si Austin. De asemenea, s-au testat urmatoarele modele: Renault 10, Peugeot 204, Fiat 1100D, Alfa Romeo 1300, Austin Mini Morris. Insa, dupa vizita istorica a președintelui francez Charles de Gaulle in Romania din 1966, s-a luat decizia la nivel de partid ca in uzina dacia sa se produca autoturisme sub licenta Renault. Din cauza unor motive tehnice si economice, oferta companiei Renault pentru modelul Renault 12 a fost retrasa.
Modelul era in faza de teste, iar productia trebuia sa inceapa in Franta, in a doua jumatate a anului 1969. Dar contractul a fost semnat in septembrie 1966. Renault a permis partii romane sa inceapa asamblarea mai devreme a unui model intermediar pana cand Renault 12 sa fie pregatit pentru productie. La inceput a fost ales modelul Renault 16, dar in cele din urma s-a optat pentru asamblarea modelului Renault 8.
Dacia 1100
Dacia a luat nastere in 1966 la Colibasi (astazi Mioveni), judetul Arges, avand la baza un acord intre autoritatile comuniste si producatorul francez de automobile, Renault, ce prevedea asamblarea unui model Renault sub marca Dacia. Construcția Uzinei de Autoturisme Mioveni a inceput in 1966 si s-a incheiat intr-un timp record de doar un an si jumatate.
Pe 1 iulie 1968, incep testele la cele 217 statii de lucru din uzina, iar pe 3 august 1966 se testeaza primul motopropulsor.
Pe 20 august 1968 se incepe productia modelului Dacia 1100, un model sub licenta Renault R8; acesta era o berlina cu tractiune si motor pe spate. Primul automobil iesit pe poarta fabricii a fost facut cadou președintelui Republicii Socialiste Romania de atunci, Nicolae Ceausescu. Conform contractului, Renault furniza toate partile componente ale modelului, urmand ca cei de la Dacia sa le asambleze. Din 1968 si pana in 1972, aproximativ 44.000 de autoturisme Dacia 1100 au fost produse, in 1970 aparand o usoara modificare estetica la partea frontala. A mai fost produs, desi in numar limitat, modelul 1100S, cu 2 perechi de faruri si un motor mai puternic, folosite de politie si in cursele de raliu. Putine au mai ramas in stare de funcționare.
Dacia 1300
Dupa Dacia 1100, a urmat Dacia 1300 care a intrat in productie in august 1969, un model sub licenta R12, fiind prezentata la saloanele auto de la Bucuresti si Paris. Modelul 1300 era o berlina cu 4 usi si tractiune pe puntea fata.
Intre 1970 si 1980, Dacia dezvolta o intreaga gama de modele ce va cuprinde mai multe tipuri de vehicule de persoane si utilitare. Astfel, in 1970 apar 3 versiuni ale Daciei 1300 berline, printre care: 1300L (de la „lux”), 1300LS („lux super”, destinata membrilor importanti ai PCR) si Dacia 1200 (versiune bicorp), iar in 1973 este lansat modelul break. Acest model s-a produs in peste 2 milioane de exemplare, devenind un simbol la fel de puternic precum Trabantul pentru Germania de Est. Tot in 1973 a fost lansat modelul Dacia 1302 (gen papuc); 2000 de exemplare au fost fabricate, pana in 1982.
Dacia a mai produs si un model de duba numit D6, copie a modelului Renault Estafette. Dar pentru ca si Bucurestiul producea in uzinele TV (Tudor Vladimirescu) o duba similara, producția Dacia D6 a fost limitata pentru a nu creea concurența.
Dupa 1980, Dacia incearca sa produca un model pentru oras, acest model purtand numele Dacia 500 sau Lastun, fiind produs la Timisoara. Echipata cu un motor de 499 cm2, cu 22 cp si cu un consum de 3,3 l/100 km, modelul este scos din fabricatie dupa 1989 datorita problemelor de calitate si a pretului ridicat. Tot in anii ’80, Dacia a mai produs modelul Dacia 2000, avand la baza autoturismul Renault 20. Acest model era produs special pentru elita PCR si era disponibil in culoarea negru sau albastru inchis, productia fiind, de asemenea, limitata.
Dacia 1310
La salonul de la Bucuresti din 1979 a fost prezentata varianta restilizata a modelului 1300, Dacia 1310. Modificarile au constat in: 2 perechi de faruri, stopuri mai mari, bare de protectie noi si interior nou. Aceasta s-a inspirat din restilizarea facuta de Renault pentru modelul lor, R12 in 1975.
Dacia s-a vandut si in Anglia sub numele Dacia Denem. Varianta de varf includea geamuri electrice, jante de aliaj si cutie de viteze cu 5 trepte. ARO 10 s-a vandut sub numele de Dacia Duster .
In aceeasi perioada de timp s-a produs si Dacia 1310 Sport. La salonul din 1979, multimea a admirat Brasovia, un coupé bazat pe modelul 1310 si creat la un atelier din Brasov. Conducerea si-a dat acordul pentru inceperea productiei si, din 1983, o varianta de lux, Dacia Sport 1410, a fost produsa pentru tineretul privilegiat din acele timpuri. Aceste masini erau foarte populare si in cursele de raliu, iar piloti ca Nicu Grigoras au modificat vechile motoare de Renault, obtinand performante uimitoare.
