The Science of Godzilla

I have to confess, I’ve never read a zoological blog before. Don’t let the threat of big words put you off though; this article on the science of the various strains of godzilla is filled with gems and laughs aplenty.

You might also learn something, like why godzilla doesn’t eat -

Apparently its stomach has mutated into a new organ: the plasma gland. Radioactive particles rise from here to be expelled via the mouth during combat, and excess radioactivity is also passed into the dorsal scutes at the same time ‘not unlike the overflow guard in your ordinary bathtub’…

So cool.

And yeah, I know BoingBoing already wrote about this, but I’d finished my article before I came across their one, so sorry if this is nothing new!
