Look At Wildlife

Unless you live near a huge forest, people don’t spend a lot of time connecting or thinking about nature, and that’s the reason why I decided to put this article in. Buffalos, Warthogs, Tigers, even ivy are all part of nature, and each molecule contained in it has a different ability.

Take the Kingfisher for example - these birds can dive into the water so fast you can hardly see them. Or the electric eel, these swimming creatures can create static electricity out of nowhere and can swim swiftly through the ocean.

Now I’ve mentioned them, I can tell you’re excited. Then this is just up your street!

Right of this article is the spectacular Glowfuse Bird, an animal that uses bright lights and switching colours to defend and attract other birds. If it appears red or black, that means it is angry and you should evacuate immediately because it’s eyes will literally blind you, whilst if it is any other colour it is calm and safe to be near.

Glowfuses are incredibly rare birds to spot, so if you find one you are extremely lucky.

Scientists are struggling to find the cause of the camouflage, as the feathers do not have any simalarities with a chameleon or any other colour-changing animal.

Moving from hot to cold now, we’re exploring the treasures of the wondrous polar bear.

If you ever go to the polar regions of our planet for a reason, you might be lucky enough to spot one. One of the things you might notice is that the fur is incredibly thick. This is because the snow can get very rough near them,  and this thick shelter helps them keep warm.

Another thing you might notice is that Polar Bears have very small eyes, and this is because the eyelids have to shield the eyes, and if they’re smaller there’s less to shield, resulting in an un-soar face.

Now do you see what I mean? of course you’ve turned your opinions on nature, and, of course, they are just two of over 1,000,000 species of animal in the world. Wherever you are, happy wildlifing!

Too Cold To Handle: The Science Behind Brain Freeze

When you eat ice cream or something cold, you will probably experience brain freeze. It happens when you gulp a cold substance too quickly for your brain to cope with. Brain freeze is a way of telling your body to slow down and take it easy. It doesn’t feel particularly nice, but at least it works. Here’s how it happens: when you slurp up a really cold drink or eat ice cream too fast you are rapidly changing the temperature in the back of your throat, which feeds blood to the brain.  The brain can’t actually feel pain despite its many sensors, but actually brain freeze occurs on the outer layer of brain tissue, where the throat meets. When the cold hits, it causes a strange feeling which is what causes the pain you feel when you get brain freeze.
