Interesting mysterious phenomena in the animal world

The world around us still has a lot of mysteries that people have not yet discovered. One of them is the interesting mysteries about the animal world that even experts cannot expect.

1. Flock-Alypse

Start with the mysterious deaths of thousands of black birds in Arkansas and Louisiana, followed by reports of fish deaths and many other animals everywhere that are confusing. After investigating, the researchers agreed that the most plausible explanation for the events that happened was the noise and light created by fireworks, causing the birds to disorientate, causing they hurt themselves when they crash into buildings or obstacles. This sequence of events is called FlockAlypse.

2. Zombie Ants

In May 2011, in MBC Ecology, researcher David Hughes from the University of Pennsylvania reported on a parasitic fungus on the forest ants. This mushroom grows full of ants with fungal cells and changes the muscles of ants so they can collect leaves to death if the parasitic fungus wants it. And these ants will bite each other at noon, then die together like a strange cult. After that, the parasite mushroom will leave the victim's head and spread the spores to the next victim.

3. Pups have 2 fathers

With a strange genetic technique and a stem cell, the researchers created the first mouse from the genes of two male mice - pups with two fathers. Professor Frankenstein from MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, transferred cells from father 1 into X stem cells - used to inject eggs into female mice, then fertilized by sperm of the mouse 2. Research This rescue is published in a reproductive journal and it is the first step on a long road to create children from 2 men.

4. Animals with strong senses

It is not only scientists who study animal changes, but Mother Nature also changed herself. Animals with super senses are dolphins and bats. Researchers in Germany have discovered that the Guiana dolphin has a special sixth sense: it can sense the magnetic field with an organ on its mouth and it is the first capable mammal. this. On the other hand, scientists also discovered that bats can sense heat from veins and arteries using a special organ on the nose that is sensitive to heat.

5. Strange sperm

Studies in mole rats have shown that strange creatures will have strange sperm. In any animal their sperm does not pass good quality control, but rodents have a significant improvement - according to a published study by BMC biology magazine. Another study also showed that ducks have different properties. Their sperm contains antibiotics that can protect it and their partners from sexually transmitted infections.

6. Strange gender

Bijou dogs are basically female but some recent studies have shown that they have the characteristics of males with testicles and prostate. Researchers are confused with the question of why they have male characteristics without male genes.

Some other species also have a similar situation as decoys that can change their coat into a female. In addition, a hen that has transformed into rooster in just a few weeks in the UK has also attracted much attention.

7. Cyclops shark

A photograph of a shark's fetus with just one eye has caused a lot of attention for researchers. One-eyed fetus has been removed from the belly of a shark in the Gulf of California, but will not be able to survive outside the uterus."This is extremely rare, as I know now less than 50 cases of such anomalies are recorded," said Felipe Galvan Magana, a shark expert.

8. Fish harassment

Several recent studies in Trinidad guppies tend to harass heterosexuals. The researchers conducted many tests on both males and females, the results were similar, Trinidad used fins and tails to beat and chase other children when they wanted to fight for food or their partners. At the same time, they also know how to combine together into pairs to chase opponents.

9. Animals with poison protection

A number of animals have been discovered using toxins to protect themselves, which is often seen only in plants. By using the plant species that African Aboriginal people use to poison the arrow, African crested rats can be nullified and kill many of their larger enemies. They chew the bark containing poison and spray on the outer layer of skin to fight enemies like dogs.

10. Strange insects

The study, published in June 2012, shows that the insect has a genital organ with a very large size: 1/10 of 1 inch (2.3mm). They use genitals to make sounds to call their partners by rubbing against the water, though scientists are still unsure how the sound could be so loud.

Conceiving children without mating

At Louisville Zoo, Kentucky State, the United States has recorded cases of animals giving birth quite strange. A python named Thelma gave birth to 6 pythons, though they did not mate before. Even when DNA testing, scientists still see Thelma as the only " parent " of 6 young pythons. This is an extremely rare phenomenon, without explanation.
