Amazing mysteries in nature
Have you ever wondered just how deep the scallop eye or the ocean really is? The results of recent scientific discoveries will help us understand some of the wonders of nature.
Scallops have good eyesight by owning up to 100 eyes in simple form. And all these eyes are usually blue.
On average, the depths of the world's oceans are about 3,682.2 meters. However, the deepest part of the ocean reaches 11,030 meters.
Central American fire dragon , the scientific name is Bolitoglossa dofleini , can lengthen its tongue to more than half the body length in 7 milliseconds, which is 50 times faster than the time people blink.
Despite the cute appearance, the male platypus possesses an extremely poisonous feather on its hind legs, capable of producing a strong enough poison to kill a medium-sized dog.
A camel can drink 113 liters of water in just 13 minutes. Water is stored in camel blood, instead of humps raised on their backs. Meanwhile, the fat lump acts as a nutritional reserve for camels when food is scarce.
The mantis shrimp can use their sharp claws to attack at 82.8 km / h, creating 91kg weights behind them. Surprisingly, that horrible power belongs to only 10 cm long crustaceans. That's probably why they are nicknamed 'boxing assassins'.
Mercury is the only metal in the liquid state under standard room temperature and pressure conditions. That's because electrons orbiting the nucleus of a mercury atom have only weak bonds with other mercury atoms at room temperature, keeping the metal in liquid state, according to the Discovery channel.
