Timelapse footage of a dog stinkhorn (Mutinus elegans) growing. It is a member of the stinkhorn family, Phallaceae. The dispersion of the spores occurs thanks to the insects that are attracted by the strong smell of rotting meat. This species is native to North America but has been introduced to Europe, with many scientists attributing its presence to the American occupation troops during World War II, who would have transported the spores with them.

He was talking about the chains that they would place on us at 6:00 pm. We would sleep with them until 6:00 am. There were months when we had to wear them for twenty-four hours. Most recently, we only wore them for twelve hours. They would chain us to each other's necks to sleep." 5. Cutaway of media 6. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Jhon Frank Pinchao, Escapee: "Although this chain is tough, it is nothing like the chains they used to keep us hostage.

Wide of news conference 8. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Jhon Frank Pinchao, Escapee: "The last time I was with three North Americans, Kidd, Tom and Marc. Marc has hepatitis problems now.

Pinchao leaving news conference accompanied by Defence Minister Santos STORYLINE A police officer who fled to freedom after being held eight years as a hostage by leftist rebels said on Wednesday that he was held with three American military contractors and former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt. Jhon Frank Pinchao fled his captors, guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, near the southeastern town of Mitu, where he had been taken hostage during a rebel attack. He walked for 17 days in the Amazon jungle before running into a counter-narcotics patrol on Wednesday. At a news conference on Wednesday evening, flanked by Defence Minister Juan Manuel Santos, Pinchao told reporters how the hostages were chained together. "We would sleep with them until 6:00 am. There were months when we had to wear them for twenty-four hours. Most recently, we only wore them for twelve hours. They would chain us to each other's necks to sleep." Holding up a thin-linked metal chain that was kept around his neck when he slept, Pinchao recounted how he took advantage of a lapse by his captors to escape from a jungle camp. Pinchao became emotional when he spoke of those who he left behind in captivity. "I hope they make it back soon, one way or another. I know that some day they will see the light of liberty, I would like to send all of them a hug from here. I ask God to protect them. I know they must be paying the price because of me," he said. The escapee also spoke of the last time he saw the three Americans - Marc Gonsalves, Tom Howes and Keith Stansell - and Betancourt on April 28. He said Gonsalves was suffering from hepatitis at the time of his escape. The three Americans were captured in February 2003 by FARC when their plane went down during a surveillance mission in southern Colombia. Betancourt, an anti-corruption congresswoman, was kidnapped on February 23, 2002 while campaigning for president in the south.
