Top 10 Contest Gallery Pictures

This contest is fueled by the following news:

Recently, a southwestern Indiana farmer found a sick bald eagle that subsequently tested positive for mercury poisoning. State wildlife officials state that it remains unclear if the bird was poisoned by eating contaminated fish caught in an Indiana waterway. One environmental watchdog organization stated that the state ranks fourth national in mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants, the contamination ultimately ending up in the food chain. Catherine Bowe of the National Wildlife Federation stated that the eagle should send a strong message to people in regard to environmental contamination.

Predator

The owl has now become the largest flying Predator.

scary eagle

Dork fish

Chemicals in the water have had comical effects on offspring. This new species is aptly named..."The Dorkfish". It is extremely stupid. The bait used to catch this particular specimen was a corndog.

Frog

In some cases, it may actually be to the animals' advantage!

Giraffe

Mercury Snake

Not only does mercury mutate the snake,but it also makes catching & holding it very difficult!

American Egg

Where's the weird mercury mutant? . . . in the yoke.

According to EPA estimates, enforcement of the existing Clean Air Act will limit mercury pollution to 5 tons per year by 2008. The Bush Administration’s "Clear Skies" initiative weakens the limit to 26 tons per year by 2010! (that's a 520 percent increase in mercury pollution).

Interestingly, the Bush Administration also kept an EPA report about how preganat women pass on mercury to their fetuses (causing mental retardation) under wraps for more than nine months, until journalists exposed the report and forced its release . . . and I thought they LIKED fetuses!

Mercury Thermometer Frog

Frogs do not have a single "normal" body temperature. Instead, their body temperature depends on the environment around it. Due to massive exposure to mercury over the years, several frogs have mutated into a new species, the Mercury Thermometer Frog.

With the flick of its tongue, this new species of frog can take the temperature of anything! Although, it hasn't quite mastered holding it there for a couple of minutes to get an accurate reading. Scientists are continuing their research with this unique amphibian.
