10 Incredible Scientific Facts About Animals - Unknown Facts

 "10 Incredible Scientific Facts About Animals"

The difficulties of the animal kingdom never cease to amaze and after millions of years of evolution many species have adapted in ways which belittle human endeavors. Whether it's easily flying, breathing underwater or simply be alien in appearance these animal facts will remind you of the wonderful world beyond human society let's get it up.

#1. Jellyfish Have 24 Eyes. 

Jellyfish have been part of the world's oceans for above 500 million years. As noted by current biology they also have 24 eyes of 4 different types including eyes structurally similar to those of vertebrates. Despite this their visual ability is restricted to basic object avoidance meaning it's unclear why they have so many eyes.

#2. Cats Could Help Astronauts. 

During exhalation and inhalation cats purr between the frequency of 25 and 150 Hertz. This is considered the sound range which can promote healing and damaged muscles and bones. Scientists at the University of California have consequently postulated purring could alleviate muscle atrophy and bone density loss. Dr. Leslie Lyons suggested this could be useful for astronauts who have spent long periods of time in zero-gravity where muscle atrophy is a serious problem.

#3. Hibernating Animals Aren't Sleeping. 

Hibernating creatures should be distinguished from merely sleeping the process is known as torpor and as a state of decreased physiological activity. This is achieved by lowering body temperature and metabolic rates many animals enter long bouts of hibernation for seasonal reasons whilst others have bouts of daily torpor.

#4. A Rattlesnakes Rattle Is Interlocked Keratin. 

The legendary rattle is made up of hollow segments which are interlocked by keratin. A rattlesnake can contractions muscles and its tails to make the segments vibrate against each other which makes the sound. This process of muscle contractions shakes at 50 times per second and can go on for three hours.

#5. Honey Badgers Are Remarkably Tenacious. 

Despite their diminutive appearance honey badgers have been observed fending off a pride of lions invading bees nests attacking poisonous snakes defeating monitor lizards and battling with hyenas. They're equipped with tough skin endless energy and since they're so aggressive few predators hunt them as a consequence honey badgers are classed as Least Concern on the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

#6. Panda Ants Have A Secret. 

These small insects are wasps ants evolved from wasps and panda ants are part of the family of Nutella dye which is made up of around 3,000 different species of wasps. The different species are author referred to as velvet ants presumably as the wingless females resemble large ants they also pack a nasty sting and are regarded as cow killers.

#7. Great White Sharks Are Highly Enigmatic. 

Despite modern research methods these remarkable sharks remain puzzling. They lead solitary lives and swim enormous distances making it difficult for scientists to observe them. Due to this it is still largely unknown how the species reproduces, despite the fear they provoke great whites are vital to the oceans ecosystem but overfishing could be pushing them towards extinction.

#8. Hamsters Aren't Nocturnal. 

Crono biology examines how creatures react to solar / lunar rhythms hamsters rise at antisocial human hours and it's common beliefs they're nocturnal. However it's now widely considered they are crepuscular active between Twilight's as their peak activity can be observed during dawn and dusk.

#9. Cats Can Rehydrate By Drinking Seawater. 

A cat's kidneys are so efficient it's possible for them to exist on a diet of meat and they can rehydrate by drinking seawater. There are carnivorous ways however are mandatory it is a struggle for them to digest plants although they can often be observed chewing on grass.

#10. Dolphins Use Biological Sonar. 

Dolphins have remarkable eyesight and can hear frequencies 10 times over what an average adult a human can. Its sensory abilities are so evolved that it can monitor its environment to an incredible amount senses. Such as echolocation biological sonar and what is believed to be an ability to route by the Earth's magnetic field are so powerful adult and could literally see through you if you were swimming with one.
