No, this isn’t the monster from the new Ridley Scott film, Prometheus – it is something that our very own
Ark in Space, planet Earth, has thrown up. Called the
Giraffe Weevil for reasons that take no
soon-ness to become obvious, it lives in Madagascar where it has carved out its own small niche. The male has evolved this gigantic neck to fight off rival suitors for mating rights. Perhaps a little OTT but the
Ark in Space has the story together with a very cool gallery of photos. If you are wondering why you have never heard of it before, that's because it was only discovered in 2008.
