We’re all walking around with step-counters these days. So it makes you wonder: how does the average person compare to animals when it comes to distance traveled in a day? Many animals migrate over really long distances in search of food or water. But which animal walks the most? We know that you love cool […] More
Snakes. And if you guessed that the thing snakes can’t do is sneeze—sorry. They can’t chew, but snakes can sneeze. Even though they don’t seem to have noses, snakes do have nostrils. However, they only use their nostrils for breathing. Snakes do their smelling with their tongue and a thing called the Jacobson’s organ – […] More
When you think of the world’s most dangerous birds, eagles or vultures may come to your mind. Surprisingly, the awkward cassowaries may cause way more damage than the notorious angry birds mentioned. It is the third-tallest and second-heaviest bird in the world after the ostrich and emu. The cassowary is one of the most dangerous […] More
When you’re out at sea, you generally know that danger may come from sharks, maybe manta rays, but mostly box jellyfish, which are much more abundant.

What animal can survive the longest without eating? Food equals fuel for every living being on Earth. But there are creatures that can live much longer — or much shorter — than we humans can without any “refueling.” For example, sharks only feed when necessary, being able to swim around hungry for 70 days. And […] More
What animal has the most babies at one time? When it comes to biology, any species’ primary goal is to perpetuate itself. Our own species usually makes just 1 successor at a time, while a queen ant can make thousands a day. That’s far from the maximum, but let’s start small on roughly how many […] More
Very few of us decide to dive into the depth of the ocean and explore, what’s going on there. What we can tell for sure is that it’s a place full pretty scary inhabitants we know very few about. The ocean is deep: the average depth of the entire ocean is about 3.5 km. and […] More

Horses live without a gall bladder. Lots of predatory animals, including our beloved cats and dogs, don’t have sweat glands on their bodies. Lungless salamanders live happily without — you guessed it — lungs. And lots of snake species have only one working lung. So, as you have probably guessed, we’ve prepared another compilation of […] More
Superheroes are not only found in movies. You don’t need to go to other planets to be amazed by the variety of lifeforms. Some incredible superpowers already exist in the world. Evolution has a very rich imagination and, thanks to it, there are bugs that can leap the distance of 100 times their body length, […] More

Its long and gangling legs have a span of your palm, and it clumsily bumps into all the obstacles it meets. Despite its awkward appearance, it’s still terrifying! What […] More
