Solar-Powered Salamanders

Close relatives of axolotls, spotted salamanders, have just been found to be symbiotic with algae and able to use them to photosynthesize. That’s pretty amazing, actually. We’ve found similar abilities in animals like corals, but this is the first documented case of a vertebrate like us being able to do it.

Resolutions are stupid. Except 1680 X 1060. That’s a good one.

New pages will be up soon (I’m hoping to finish a few by the end of the weekend). Been super busy. Also, hoping to start in on my graphic novel project, so more to show there soon. Happy New Years, unless your Chinese, in which case happy normal day.

Hey, super awesome paleo-science-man Darren Naish has written about axolotls over at his blog Tetrapod Zoology. For the record though, the black mudpuppy is not a “leakily parthenogenic” female.

Working on it

Sorry for the delay this week in getting pages up. Stupid mid-winter merry-making festival and all. I’ve actually been working on something with the new Manga Studio, and it’s coming along nicely but it’s taken me a bit longer than usual. I’ve been getting a little more detailed. Anyways, it’ll be up soon, I’ve got about two more simple panels to put in. Cheers!
