Scientists in Canada are using the bodies of dead pigs, diverted from the butcher’s shop, in their undersea laboratory. By ending up in ocean experiments (rather than on the dinner table), the pigs have provided scientists with some intriguing new data.
“The dead pigs were not my idea,” says Dr Verena Tunnicliffe, professor of marine biology at the University of Victoria in Canada.
She explained that she and her colleagues were “piggybacking” on forensics research in order to study low-oxygen zones, sometimes known as “dead zones”, in the ocean.

The chandrayan from India has detected ice on the moon. A radar experiment aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 lunar spacecraft has identified thick deposits of water-ice near the Moon’s north pole. The US space agency’s (Nasa) Mini-Sar experiment found more than 40 small craters containing water-ice.
But other compounds – such as hydrocarbons – are mixed up in lunar ice, according to new results from another Moon mission called LCROSS. The findings were presented at a major planetary science conference in Texas.
The craters with ice range from 2km to 15km (one to nine miles) in diameter; how much there is depends on its thickness in each crater. But Nasa says the ice must be at least a couple of metres thick to give the signature seen by Chandrayaan-1.
