Pregnant Fossilized Turtle
Paleontologists from Alberta Canada have discovered a 75 million year old fossil turtle that's pregnant. Apparently the female was found in association with another female's nest, but the eggs were found inside the skeleton and are unusually hard-shelled.

I've got another office pet: a lovely little female black widow I've nicknamed Angel. Her photo, along with a nifty little orb-weaving spider I discovered in the window of my office are above. :)
