History of Hope Diamond Hope diamond was in Indian temple used for an idol, then the priest had stolen the diamond due to its value and sold to the French gem merchant.

Earth’s longest-living animal is Turritopsis dohrnii, a jellyfish. The jelly fish can completely escape from death. Due to its cell transformation ability, they can go back an earlier stage of their life cycle when injured or on the verge of starvation. This means they could live forever. The immortal jellyfish is almost invisible and resembles a tiny ice cube. Its body is bell-shaped and transparent with a height of 0.18 inches and a diameter from 0.18 up to 0.4 inches. It has a large bright-red stomach and has a cruciform shape in cross section. Internally, it has a hydrostatic skeleton called a mesoglea which has a jellylike substance mostly consisting of water, and it is consistently thin except for the apex. The epidermis (skin) in the cap has dense nerve cells which form a large ring-like structure above the radical canal, a common feature of cnidarians. Younger immortal jellyfish are 0.04 inches in size and have 8 tentacles, while adult ones can have 80-90 tentacles. Th...

Paratarsotomus macropalpis is the fastest land animal relative to body length. Its size is 0.7 mm. The small sesame-sized mite that lives amidst the pavements and rocks of southern California. Paradoxodomus macropulbis belongs to the family Anystidae. It has long legs and is twice as long as the width of the body. The mite moves at a speed of 322 body length per second (0.225 m/s (0.50 mph)). It is equivalent to a human running at 1,300 miles per hour. It is 20,000 times smaller and 40 times faster than the Usain Bolt. The previous record holder was the Australian tiger beetle Cicindella eburniola, which recorded at a speed of 171 body lengths per second (1.86 m/s (4.2 mph)). The fastest land animal Cheetah, moves at 16 body lengths per second (64 mph). High speed camera was used to record the speed of the mite. The mite can stop and change directions very quickly. It can also run-on concrete at temperatures up to 60 °C (140 °F). This is significantly higher than the up...

It’s the result of sunlight being scattered when it strikes the air molecules in the atmosphere. The light from the Sun looks white. But it is really made up of all the colours of the rainbow. The theory is how light interacts with molecules means shorter-wavelength light is more strongly scattered than longer-wavelength light. All light travels in a straight line unless something gets in the way and does one of these things: - reflect it (like a mirror) bend it (like a prism) scatter it (like molecules of the gases in the atmosphere) The sky is blue due to a phenomenon called Raleigh scattering. This scattering refers to the scattering of electromagnetic radiation by particles of a much smaller wavelength. Closer to the horizon, the sky fades to a lighter blue or white. The sunlight reaching us from low in the sky has passed through even more air than the sunlight reaching us from overhead. Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions...

Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is the world’s largest nocturnal primate. Aye-aye, is the only living representative of the family Daubentoniidae. Nocturnal, solitary and arboreal aye-aye lives in eastern rainforest and the dry forests of the northwest and western Madagascar. Due to its bizarre appearance and unusual eating habits, the aye-aye is considered to be the strangest primate in the world. Aye-ayes are the most unusual looking of all lemurs. Aye-aye is about 16 inches (40 cm) long and 21.6 to 23.6 inches long fluffy tail which is longer than their body. They are covered with long, coarse, dark brown or black fur, it has a short face and abnormal physical features include a continuously growing incisors (unique in primates), very large ears, and a skeletal middle finger in appearance. Their fur may rise when agitated or excited, making them appear larger. They feed on grubs under layers of bark, as well as fruits, nuts, nectar, seeds and fungi. Their sharp teeth an...

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the largest fish in the world by its size and cartilaginous skeleton. The average length of a whale shark is 18 to 32.8 feet (5.5 - 10 m). The new born whale shark is 21 to 25 inches (53 - 64 cm) long. Male grow slightly faster than women. The male shark reaches sexual maturity at the age of 30 with a size of 26 feet (8 m). The female shark reaches sexual maturity at the age of 50 with a size of 46 feet (14 m). Whale shark is a slow-moving filter feeding shark. The whale shark has two-toned pattern of light spots on its dark grey back with a white underside. It has a broad, flat head, relatively small eyes, five large gill slits on each side, two dorsal fins, two long pectoral fins, two pelvic fins, one anal fin and a large tail. It has a vestigial spiracle behind the eye. It is an evolutionary remnant of its common ancestry with carpet sharks. The whale shark has a huge mouth that can reach up to 4 feet (1.4 m) across. It is located on th...

The Golden Poison Dart Frog is one of the most poisonous animals in the world. A frog carries 1,900 micrograms of venom. One frog venom is enough to kill 10 adult humans more than 20,000 mice. The frog was discovered in 1973 and first scientifically described in 1978. The Golden Poison frog is the largest of the poisonous dart frogs and can grow up to 5 centimetres. Some frogs are just 1.5 cm long. Its colour can be golden-orange, golden-yellow or pale green. The frog is also known as the Golden Frog, the Golden Poison Arrow Frog and the Gold Dart Frog. The Golden Dart frog is not an easy friendly type. It is the ‘touch me, you’ll definitely die’ type frog. It keeps its poison in glands beneath its skin. The venom is used only to protect it from predators, without killing any prey. It has no delivery system (such as sharp teeth or spines) and can only secrete toxins through its skin. Frogs do not produce poison by themselves. They get them from their prey like ants they can carr...

According to a recent discovery off the coast of Western Australia, Siphonophore is the longest animal in the world. Siphonophore is a gelatinous, stinging, stringed animal. Siphonophore grows to 150 feet long; It is 50 feet longer than a blue whale! its body is as thick as a broomstick. Although they appear to be a single animal, Siphonophores aren’t really one animal, but rather a connected colony of genetically identical pieces. each siphonophore is actually a colony of organisms that clone themselves thousands of times and form long chains together. Most of them live in the deep sea and they are found in all of oceans. Siphonophores are predators. Siphonophores use their stingers to eat plankton such as copepods, krill and mysids. However, some siphonophore species can eat large prey such as fish. They have stingers that ensnare, paralyse and kill prey.The individual members that make up a siphonophore colony are called ‘zooids. These zooids cannot live by themsel...

The largest and most famous flying reptile ever found is Quetzalcoatlus northropi, which weighs 250kg with a wingspan of 11 metres and more than five meters tall. It is as wide as a Cessna 172 aeroplane! Q. northrop could fly at 130km/h and can stay there up to 10 days. It was a member of the Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiff necks. Quetzalcoatlus was a pterodactyloid pterosaur from North America. It was the largest known flying animal to have ever lived. Quetzalcoatlus is the most famous member of the azhdarchids, a family of pterosaurs limited to the Cretaceous period, the time between 144 and 66 million years ago. These flying reptiles were all very large animals with long, pointed skulls and some had short crests at the backs of their heads. They had very long necks, small torsos, long legs and a short pair of wings in proportion to their bodies. Like all flying reptiles, they launched off the ground in a f...
