Marimo

Marimo is a green ball seaweed. In Japan they're are know as Cladophora ball, Lake ball or Moss ball. A marimo is a rare growth form of the species where algae grow into large green balls with a velvety appearance. Colonies of such balls are known to form in Scotland, Iceland, Japan and Estonia.


DO YOU KNOW?

Marimo can put in your fish bowls. 


WARNING!!!
If you put your Marimo in your fish bowl with fish, you need to always give your fish to eat or not they will make your Marimo their LUNCH!!!

Teeth

Our teeth are coated with enamel, the hardest substance in our bodies. The primary function of our teeth is to break down the food into smaller pieces that may be easily digested in the intestine. Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque which is clear film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth. These bacteria break down the leftover food stuck on your teeth into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing cavities. Plaque also cause gingivitis, which is gum disease. Brushing our teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing them frequently are the most basic thing that we can do to keep our teeth and gums healthy.

Scary isn't it?


Why do cat's eyes glow in the dark?

Unlike human eyes, which work best in day light, the cat’s eyes must function well in extremely low light condition and as such are well suited to an animal that is predominantly nocturnal and crepuscular in activity. In darkness, cats eyes are able to function in approximately one-sixth of the light needed for human vision. However they must also be able to function well in daylight so just how is this achieved. In low light levels the cats pupil must be able to open as wide as possible, but also be able to contract to very small size to protect the sensitive retina in bright sunlight. In human eyes, this size variation of the pupil is controlled by a circular ciliary muscle, but this limits the amount of size variation. In cats however, the same process is controlled by two, shutter-like ciliary muscles, which gives the cat it’s characteristic slit-like pupil in bright light conditions. All cats pupils are therefore elliptical, however some, notable the ‘Big Cats’, appear more circular when dilated.



The size of the cats eye is relatively larger than those found in human, this enables a larger pupil and therefore more light to enter the eye. Generally, the lens is more curved enabling sharper focusing even at the edges of the lens. The size of the anterior chamber and the curvature of the cornea is also greater, which helps more light to be refracted onto the light-sensitive retina.

Another feature, which enabled the amount of light hitting the retina to be increased, is the tapetum lucidum. This is positioned at the back of the eye, behind the retina and acts like a mirror, reflecting light back onto the light sensor cells in the retina. This gives the cats eyes the characteristic night-time glow when they are caught in a beam of light.

There are two distinct types of light receptor cell on the retina – Cones, which are sensitive to high levels of light, used in colour vision and Rods, sensitive in low light conditions. In cats, there is a greater concentration of Rods, aiding their night-time vision. As in humans, there is a greater concentration of receptor cells at the centre of the eye, leading to the optic nerve. In cats, however, these a concentrated along a broader, horizontal band. This gives the cat far more sensitivity to movement along the horizontal axis and they are therefore more able to detect prey movement along the ground at greater distances.

Spider Facts

You know spider?I think i have a facts about the spiders.Let me show you!!!




 CHILEAN ROSE TARANTULA
 
Habitat: Desert and Scrubland Chille, Bolivia and Argentina
Body length: 13 to 16 cm
Type: Terrestrial 
Characteristic: The most common an popular pet, loved for it's docile nature

A common misconception

 The lantern fly's long, curved, flourescently-coloured mouthparts are more vivid than it's body, and was once thought to emit light, which gave rise to it's name. In reality, it does nothing of the kind.

Helicopters

 These seeds have a single 'wing' sprouting from both sides, in strong wind, these lightweight 'spinners' float free. When the wind drops, they spiral as they fall slowly. An example would be maple seed to spin through the air, often covering several kilometres. 

Are all scorpions dangerous???

 No, in fact, most scorpions are relatively harmless to humans and their sting will inflict no more pain or lasting side effects than that of a bee. Of the known scorpions, only about 50 species have venom that is neuro-toxic whereas only 25 species have sufficiently potent venom as to make them dangerous to humans.

High Grade Chocolate

According to a survey conducted by the Chocolate Manufacturer's Association, Switzerland leads the world in chocolate consumption with 22.36 pounds (lbs) per person! Naturally therefore, Switzerland is at the cutting edge of chocolate production and innovation in 1875, Swiss chocolatier Daniel Peter was the first person to make bar of milk chocolate. In 1878, his countryman and fellow chocolatier Rudolph Lindt created a process called 'conching' which allowed for chocolate to be blended with other materials, diversifying tastes and textures.

Fondue

Fondue is a sumptuous Swiss dish, created as a remedy for the bitter cold alpine weather. According to the tale, a group alpine residents were snowed in, and resorted to cooking cheese in wine. Hard bread was then dipped into this mixture,and the first fondue was created. As the dish's popularity increased, more people began dipping meat into the cheese concoction, then vegetables, and even fruits. In more recent times, a popular variation, the 'chocolate fountain' seen sometimes at buffet dessert tables, where diners can dip bits of fruit into hot chocolate.

Could the Parasaurolophus yell?

The Parasaurophus used the 'cranial crest' that stretches from their forehead to the rear of their head to release sounds. The crest is shaped like a curved tube and there is a bone located within it. Inside the bone, there are respiratory tubes that are connencted to the nasal bone, allowing the Parasaurophus to release sounds with the least effort.

'Egg-streme' facts

Why were there tiny spores on dinosaur eggs? 

All eggs have tiny respiratory pores on them, which allow oxygen, carbon dioxide and water to pass through. However, pores on dinosaur eggs were 15 times larger than birds as the carbon dioxide level of the prehistoric era was twice as high as that of the modern era. The eggs required bigger pores to allow them to obtain more oxygen.

How tall were dinosaurs?

Palaeontologists have discovered more than 400 types of dinosaurs and not all of them were as huge as the Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus. Some were only 18 centimetres tall, making them smaller than certain rodents but others measured up to 40 or 50 metres long equivalent to a 10 storey building.

The World's Tallest Tree

The Sequoias of the US are the world's tallest trees, boasting heights of up 112 metres, making some taller than the Statue of Liberty! These trees can take up to 400 years to grow to full size, and they can live up to 4000 years. So amazing, you can imagine how tall it is. 

Baobab: The Monkey Bread Tree

The Baobab tree, famous for it's appearence in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's famous children's book 'The Little Prince', is a tree that grows in the topic grasslands Africa.  It can reach up to heights of 20 metres, with a trunk diameter of up to 10 metres. The branches on the top of the tree will continue to grow sideways, vey much resembling roots. This is the reason why some Africans call it the 'demon tree' as it seems to be tree that has been uprooted and turned over by demons.

Index Fossils


When a particular prehistoric creature only thrives in a particular era, it's fossil canbe used to deduce the soil's geological era. For instance,  if we uncover a fossil  of an ammonites in a layer ground, we can determine that layer existed as surface in the Mesozoic, as ammonites only lived during that era.  

Dinosaur FaCts

You know about dinosaur? You know the animal ancestor that live 65 million years ago. Ok ok if you don't know about dinosaur let me tell you a little bit a bout dinosaur.




TYRANNOSAURUS

Family: Tyrannosauridae
Discovery: North America 
Habitat: Land
Time: Late Cretaceous
Facts: The Tyrannosaurus was a large and vicious carnivorous dinosaur that used it's sturdy low jaw and powerful teeth to hunt smaller dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus had a huge head and rather small forelimbs, however researches have speculated that their forelimbs were extremely powerful, capable of easily lifting up to 200kg. Amazing right? As you want to know the Tyrannosaurus run very fast to catch their prey.






COMPSOGNATHUS

Family: Compsognathus
Discovery: Europe
Habitat: Land
Time: Late Jurassic
Facts: The Compsognathus was a dinosaur of small stature its name even means 'dainty jaww'. It's body measured at 70 to 80 centimetres, with a weight of only 3000 grammes and a head of a 6 to 7 centimetres. It is thought to be an agile creature, and survived on a diet of insects and little animal. 






SEISMOSAURUS

Family: Diplodocidae
Discovery: North America
Habitat: Land
Time: Late Jurassic
Facts: The Seismosaurus measured at 40 to 50 metres and weighted over 10 tonnes. It is currently as the longest dinosaur ever known to exist. It had a long neck like a giraffe but it has longger neck than the giraffe. The long neck allowed the Seismosaurus eat leaves in high places, and it's whip like tail could have been used as a weapon to fend off predators.






MUSSAURUS

Family: Plateosauridae
Discovery: Argentina
Habitat: Land
Time: Late Jurassic until Early Jurassic
Facts: At only 18cm long, it was perhaps the smallest dinosaur. To date, reaserchers have discovered Mussaurus nests consisting of 3 to 4 fossilised juvenile Mussaurus allowing us to understand better the growth and bone strutures changes in dinosaurs. The fossil are currently preserved in the Argentina Museum of Natural Sciences. 






PTERANODON

Family: Pteranodontidae
Discovery: North America
Habitat: Coastal areas
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The word 'pterosaur' means 'winged lizard' and the Pteranodon  is one of the more famous pterosaurs. It's large wings spanned 8 metres. Even though our comic does not feature the tall crest on it's head, the Pteranodon is thought to have used it's crest to adjust direction and increase flying speed.






MOSASAURUS

Family: Marine reptile
Discovery: Holland
Habitat: Ocean 
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Mosasurus  name means 'muse lizard'. Like lizards, they had two holes behind their eyes and sharp teeth in their jaws which allowed them to catch and feed on ammonites and other undersea creatures.






STYGIMOLOCH

Family: Pachycephalosauria
Discovery: North America
Habitat: Hillside
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Stygimoloch is a recently discovered dinosaur with a few striking features, chief among them being the sharp, conical horns on top of it's head and it's sturdy skull, earning it the nickname 'the dinosaur with a head made of stone'. Palaeontologist speculate that it's head was an important weapon for them in vying for territory or seeking mates.






QUETZALCOATLUS

Family: Azhdarchidae
Discovery: North America
Habitat: Hillside
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Quetzalcoatlus was one of the largest pterosaurs to grace the prehistoric skies with a wingspan of 10 metres. When it was first discovered, palaeontologist named it after the Mesoamerican feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoati.






OVIRAPTOR

Family: Oviraptoridae
Discovery: Mongolia
Habitat: Land
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: It's name originates from the Latin for 'egg thief' because it like to steal other dinosaur egg for their food. It's length about 1.8 metres, its bird like jaw and dextrous hands were handy for holding the eggs it stole.




TRICERATOPS

Family: Ceratopsidae
Discovery: North America
Habitat: Land
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: Triceratops means 'three horned face'. It was very large, between 9 and 12 metres in length, with the head accounting for 2 metres and weighed around 6 to 12 tonnes. Because of it's big horn and hard head, it was quite capable of defending itself against large meat eaters.






GALLIMIMUS

Family: Ornithonmimdae
Discovery: Mongolia
Habitat: Land
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Gallimimus is twice as large as the modern day ostrich. Not only did it's strong hind limbs allow it to balance it's body so that it's weight would not be centred in the upper body, effortlessly. Research has shown that the Gallimimus fed mostly on small insects and fruits.






ARCHAEOPTERYX

Family: Archaeopterygidae
Discovery: germany
Habitat: Land
Time: Jurassic
Facts: The name 'Archaepteryx'  means 'ancient wing', and it's fitting name for the animal thought to be the missing link between dinosaurs and birds. It's also one of the first known prehistoric creatures to clearly have had feathers, and this has set off speculation that other dinosaurs might have also had feathers.




DEINONYCHUS

Family: Dromaeosauridae
Discovery: Mogolia, North America
Habitat: Land
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Deinonychus was weighed less than 80 kilogrammes and is considered a small dinosaur. However, it possessed a large brain, huge eyes, a long snout, sharp teeth and a sickle like claw that can be twisted 180 degrees, allowing it to capture it's prey swiftly. Research indicates that the Deinonychus had high intelligence levels, allowing them to hunt their prey in tightly coordinated packs.






ELASMOSAURUS

Family: Marine reptile
Discovery: North America 
Habitat: Ocean 
Time: Cretaceous
Facts: The Elasmosaurus belongs to a species of dinosaurs with extremely long necks long enought to circle it's body twice. It's name means 'thin plate lizard' and it lived on a diet of fish and cuttlefish.




SIAMOTYRANNUS

Family: Theropoda
Discovery: Thailand
Habitat: Land
Time: Late Jurassic
Facts: The Siamotyrannus was discovered in Thailand in 1996 and it's name means 'Siamese tyrant' (Siam is Thailand's old name). Measuring 5 to 6 metres in length, it was a carnivore that is Allosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus.


That's all for my 'DINOSAUR FACTS'. I hope you can learn about this dinosaur. <3 <3 <3

Platelets

There are about 300 thousands platelets in a drop of blood. When an injury occures,blood escapes from the broken vessel. Platelets gather at the area and partially plug the break. Tissue-clotting factors results in the conversion of fibriniogen into insoluble fibrin threads, which form a web across the break vessel wallbinding platelets and blood cells. Bruises happen when our injury crushes small blood vessels under the skin causing blood vessels to break open and leak blood. Haemophilia is an inherited condition more likely to occour in males whose platelets lack one of the particular clotting factors suck as firbrin. When clotting factors are missing or deficient, the blood does not clot properly and bleeding continues.....

The Helper In Our Body

Do you know about the WHITE BLOOD CELLL???. As u do know, our body have 5 white blood cell. They're name is
. Neutrophiles
. Eosinophiles
. Lymphocyte
. Macrophage
. Dentritic cell

Let me tell u about NEUTROPHILES first. Neutrophiles like to eat bad bacteria in our body. Eosinophiles, they release chemicals to destroy parasites. Lymphocyte, they destroy bacteria,toxins and cancerous cells. Macrophage,they eat pathogens, then tell the rest of the immune systems about the pathogens. Dentritic cells, they analyes antigens and tell lymphocyte about them. Ok thanks for reading this information!!!

Paris Facts!!!

.THE SPHINX- Father of Terror.

  

The Sphinx is one of the Egypt's most recongisable landmarks, and has been so for thousands of years - Egyptians carved its images onto their tomb walls,and ancient Greek historians spoke of it.Though the majestics imagenary of the lion is a common occurence, the heads of Sphinxes over the world are different. The Sphinx in front of the Great Pyramid at Giza is the largest one we know of.Despite conflicting evidence and viewpoints over the years, the traditional view held my modern Egyptologist at large,remains that the Great Sphinx was built by pharaoh Khafra, the third ruler of the 4th Dynasty (approximately 2560 B.C. to 2450 B.C.

In Greek mythology, the Sphinx had a face of a woman and a pair of wings; she wasn't just extremely intelligent,but said to be all-knowing.She would present them with the famous riddle: "What walk on four hands in the morning,two in the afternoon,and three in the evening?" Anyone who failed to answer her question would be devoured.It wasn't until the hero Oedipus came along that she was defeated.When he was answered her with "Man,who crawls as an infant,walks on two legs as an adult,then uses a walking stick in old age", the Sphinx was so mortified that she cast herself down from the rock and perished.

DISGUSTING BUT TRUE

Do you know???

You all may not believe that masai people used cow poo to make their house.They say because it can make their house strengthen,expel insect from entering their house and if it's dry,inside of the house will feel comfortable.
