Bats hunt at night using echolocation, where they use sound waves and echoes to determine the location of prey. Nocturnal insects, including many species of moths, grew up to hear the ultrasonic calls of bats, but some deaf moths did not hear the ultrasonic calls of bats. Some types of deaf moths use "noise-cancelling" scales on their bodies to avoid being detected by predators. These hair-like growths absorb up to 85 percent of the sound energy from the bats and act as a "biological stealth coating". Two types of deaf moths – the Antherina suraka and the Callosamia promethean examined by a team from the University of Bristol. They found that the scales on the bodies of these two moths were similar to the fibers used in sound proofing technology. The researchers then used a technique called sound tomography on insects, which involves expressing ultrasound pulses through a loudspeaker and measuring the strength of the echoes echoing from their body...

Yes. Fish feel pain. They do not feel pain like human but they do feel it. Because their nervous system is different from the human nervous system. In 2003, researchers at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh discovered sensory nerves in bonyy fish. Like birds and mammals, the bony fish detect pain and connect their skin and other parts of the body to the brain. The same team also find that, when mild acid or bee stings injected in the lips of rainbow trout, rainbow trout shook their heads and rubbed their lips into the fish tank. When they give painkillers, the trout behaved normally again. Many other studies reveal characteristics of fish suffering, where some salmon secreting high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. In that time, they stop feeding and show signs of depression. Finally, all living things in the world feel pain. Everyone feels pain differently from others. So, we must respect the feelings of others and not intentionally hurt others. ...

The only flightless and heavy parrot in the world is the Kakapo. Kakapo is found only in New Zealand. It is translated to "owl face soft-feathered" in Latin. It also called by the name of owl parrot or night parrot. It has very soft feathers than other birds and owl-like prominent facial disc feathers. They use their short wings for balance and support rather than flapping. Even though they can't fly, they get around. The kakapo has strong legs which makes them an excellent hiker and climber. On the ground, they move around with a jog-like gait. They can also climb tall trees and use their wings to help "parachute" to the forest floor. Kakapos freezes when danger is near. The defence technique works well when the predators use sight to hunt but it does not work with hunters who use sense of smell to find prey. Kakapos stay in the trees or on the ground during the day and only become active at night. It has a highly developed sense of smell which u...

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest road in the world is the Pan-American Highway. Total length of the road is 48 000 km/30 000 miles. The Pan American Highway covers the entire US interstate highway system. The highway is made up of interconnected highways. It connects more than 20 countries in the United States, with the exception of the Dorian Gap between Panama and Colombia (100 km). The idea for a Pan-American highway system originated in 1923 at the Fifth International Conference of American States in Santiago de Chile. The first Pan-American Highway Conference, held in Buenos Aires in 1925, immediately discovered the construction of a highway is important on the development of the region. In 1928, the Sixth International Conference of American States in Havana approved the longest communications road across the continent. The catalyst for further development of the highway was World War II. Suddenly, adequate land connections betwe...

The Border Roads Organization of India (BRO) has built the world's highest road at Umling La Pass in eastern Ladakh. The world's highest motorway is located at an altitude of 19,300 feet. This road is 52 km long is black-topped road connecting several major cities in the Chumar sector of eastern Ladakh. The project took more than 3 years to complete. The project was launched in 2017 and completed in August 2021. This road is higher than the base camps of Mount Everest. The southern base camp in Nepal is 17,598 feet above sea level and the northern base camp in Tibet is 16,900 feet above sea level. Mount Everest is 29,000 feet high. This new road will provide locals with an alternate direct route connecting Chisumle and Demchok from Leh. The road will also promote tourism in Ladakh, and help to improve the socio-economic status of the region. Did you know? Before Umling La Pass, the highest motorway in India was the Kardung La Pass at 17,582 feet. ...

Honey is a sweet liquid made by bees using honey from flowers. Honey is formed when bees add a sweet substance secreted by flowers with their own bee enzymes. To produce honey, bees leave the collected honey in the hive and evaporate by blowing its wings. Honey is the only natural product that contains all the essential nutrients for life, including vitamins, enzymes, minerals and water. Honey contains vitamins and antioxidants, but is fat-free, cholesterol-free and sodium-free! It is the only natural product that contains pinocembrin which improves brain function. Honey is a healthy alternative to sugar. The main food source of bees is honey. Honey provides 2 level energy. Glucose in honey is quickly absorbed by the body and immediately increases energy. Fructose is slowly absorbed and provides constant energy. In terms of nutrition, 1 tablespoon of honey (21 grams) contains 64 calories and 17 grams of sugar, including fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose. Do all typ...

Having two eyes is quite normal in animal kingdom because some of the animals have 3 eyes, 8 eyes, 100 eyes and even more. They can see everything without moving the head. You must think that why these animals have this much eyes. Here you can know the purpose of more than two eyes. Multiple eyes make them to catch preys better. Those eyes help to see predators who want to attack themselves from different angles. It helps some animals to control their body temperature. Help to detect predators. Here we listed some animals with more than two eyes Tuatara: 3 eyes Tuatara is known as a reptile fossil. It has 3 eyes. The third eye is at the top of its head. The third eye is visible when they are young. As they mature the third eye is covered with scales and pigment. The third eye is fully working eye, but Tuatara does not really use. Praying mantis: 5 eyes Praying mantis has 5 eyes. It has 2 big eyes on the side of its head and other 3 small eyes are in the...

Paul Grisham is 91-year-old, who worked as a US Navy meteorologist. As a part of services, he was sent to Antarctica in October 1967 for 13-month assignment of Operation Deep Freeze. He worked as a weather forecaster which supported civilian scientists doing research there. During this time, he lost his brown wallet and he forgot about that. Then he was getting an assignment in San Diego, California, and later was assigned to an aircraft carrier in Vietnam. He retired in 1977 after 25 years of service. A research group that does snow cap research in Antarctica. They found a couple of wallets during the demolition of a building at McMurdo station on Ross Island in 2014. George Blaisdell, head of the research group, mailed his former employee Stephen Decato, about the wallets. Because he had successfully handed over the ID bracelet to his owner. A team of detectives Stephen Decato and his daughter Sarah Lindbergh, from US’s New Hampshire, and Bruce McKee of the NGO Indi...

According to World’s Guiness Record a Turkish Company holds World’s most expensive honey. Centauri honey is the world’s most expensive honey which is priced £8,700/kg which makes around INR 8,60,000/kg.. The honey is harvested from a cave 2,500 meters above sea level, far away from any human residences and from any other bee colonies. The honey is in dark colour and has a bitter taste. It is healthy and rich in nutrients. The honey is created by Caucasian honey bees, which are adaptable to cold weather and high altitude. These bees are fed on the medicinal herbs which are grown around the cave. For this reason, the honey has high medicinal properties and high in magnesium, potassium, phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants. Centauri honey is harvested once a year to ensure that the bees are not disturbed. Only 10 to 15 kilograms honey is harvested per year depending on the season. The brand uses an undisclosed formula to increase the quality of the honey, which is kept secre...
