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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
