ISABELLA ROSSELLINI ASKS SOME ANIMALS TO SEDUCE HER

Last night a very charming ballerina recommended this strange series written and directed by Isabella Rossellini for the Sundance Channel. Seduce Me, as it's called, is a celebration of animals and their delicate existence by focusing on some of their weirder seduction and mating rituals. This video become a viral hit last year when New York suffered a bed bug epidemic.

DO YOU LOVE ME, NOW THAT I CAN DANCE?

Because it's been a bit of an art week, I'd like to bring your attention to MONPA, or the Museum of Non-Primate Art. The organisation has got some really great stuff this season that is definitely competing on an international level and I'd like to bring them some much-needed publicity. Their three current online collections are the thought-provoking Why Cats Paint, the emotive Dancing with Cats and the expressionist Bird Art. The purpose of the museum, as they define it, is to "preserve the movements, marks and sounds of non-primate species and consider them, without prejudice, as modes of aesthetic communication, in the hope of gaining new insights into our world." I can honestly say that this work has given me some new insights into our world. If you'd like something to keep forever (and who wouldn't?), what better than a powerful photographic collection that accompanies the exhibition from Heather Busch and Burton Silver.

SHOCK DISCOVERY: MOST DANGEROUS BIRD IN THE WORLD LIVES IN AUSTRALIA

The recent floods in Queensland have apparently sent homeless birds wandering into local towns and villages. We're not talking a couple of sparrows, though, but something called a Cassowary. Looking like a cross between a turkey and a dinosaur, this 6 foot, 130 pound flightless bird has three five inch talons on each leg and can be known to disembowel people when threatened. Surprise surprise, the deadliest bird in the world lives in Australia, a continent where I'm sure even earth worms have teeth.
