Military to restore forest to pre-contact period
By Steve Limtiaco
The military plans to restore more than 1,100 acres of limestone forest next to the site of the new Marine Corps base, Camp Blaz, removing invasive plants and animals from the area and adding native and endemic plant species, according to a project memo posted July 9.
Plants introduced to Guam after the first contact with Europeans will be killed and cut down, among other measures.
“The project seeks to restore the natural landscape with culturally important native species that are more representative of prehistoric conditions,” states the Programmatic Agreement Memo for the “North Finegayan and Finegayan Forest Enhancement Site.”

Scientists have spotted snakes doing a lasso locomotion to climb up poles and trees
As if snakes weren t sneaky enough, scientists have discovered a new method used by one species to climb super smooth surfaces.
A team of researchers from Colorado State University and the University of Cincinnati have found that brown tree snakes have a way of moving vertically which has never been seen before.
The scientists managed to film these reptiles looping their whole bodies around a smooth cylinder and tying their tails in a knot around themselves - similar to a lasso - in order to gain maximum grip.
