Ok, Ok, we'll admit it - not ALL creatures are cute!

This photograph released by www.frogindia.org shows an adult Chikilidae, a new species of legless amphibian known as a caecilian, with eggs and hatchlings at an undisclosed location in north-eastern India. Researchers digging through mud in northeast India have discovered a new family of legless amphibians in a rare scientific breakthrough. The family of burrowing, tailless creatures was identified by scientists working for five years in remote Indian states including Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.

Poor Ugly Chomper Needs a Home

For the 14th year, dogs lined up in the San Diego suburb of Del Mar for the Ugliest Dog contest. This year's winner is a 4-year-old Boxer mix named Chomper with a bit of a drooling problem. Now that Chomper has won the Ugliest Dog contest, organizers are hoping he will catch the eye of a loving owner who will take him into their home. Source
