Scaleless Lizard Washed up on Beach

Last week in North Carolina visitors were startled to see a very strange and scary fish washed up on shore still alive. The fish was later identified as the Long-Snouted Lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox). Scientists don't know too much about the Long-Snouted Lancetfish due to the fact that it lives in the bottom of the ocean. When these fish are born they are hermaphrodites and when they mature they change to one sex. These fish are also more lizard like then fish. They are born without scales and never grow them either. The record size ever recorded from these fish is 6 and a half feet long.

Syria and Humanitarian Aid

The International Rescue Committee has conducted a survey that will (most likely) put 22.4 Million people in Syria in 2014 in a postition for starvation and without housing. The UN has announced it's biggest ever appeal for $6.5bn or (6,500,000,000) for humanitarian aid for Syria. It is projected by the UN two thirds of Syria will be in need for supplies and other things in 2014.
