Manis gigantea
A note on the reproduction habits of the Manis gigantea:
Little is known about the reproduction of this species. Two birth records indicate that a litter was found in September and another in October. The young weighed about 500 g at birth. The newborn has soft scales and its eyes are open. It cannot walk on its legs, but it is active and can scramble around on its stomach.
“Heroes” episodes online
Bryan is working as writer and co-executive producer for "Heroes", a series on NBC which you might have heard of. The entire season is available for free online at http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/episodes.shtml.
This is how every network should offer every program: free, online, and on-demand. The network inserts non-obtrusive ads that are short enough that it's not worth a viewer's effort to avoid them. And fans can catch up on the series at their leisure. Otherwise, a lot of potential viewers would fall hopelessly behind and never watch again. And by "a lot of viewers" I mean me.
So good work Bryan and good work NBC for creating an entertaining TV show and making it easy for me to watch.
