7 unique breed of animals.

RED SPITTING COBRA. The  red spitting cobra  ( Naja pallida ) is a species of  spitting cobra  native to  Africa . LEAF NOSED SNAKE. Langaha madagascariensis  (formerly  Langaha nasuta , commonly known as the  Madagascar  or  Malagasy leaf-nosed snake ) is a medium-sized highly  cryptic   arboreal  species. It is  endemic  to  Madagascar  and found in deciduous dry forests and rain forests, often in vegetation 1.5 to 2 meters above the ground. The function of their appendage is unknown, but obviously also serves as  camouflage . SNAKE NECK TURTLE. The  eastern long-necked turtle  ( Chelodina longicollis )  is an east Australian species of  snake-necked turtle  that inhabits a wide variety of water bodies and is an opportunistic feeder. It's neck is half its body size It is a side-necked turtle ( Pleurodira ), meaning that it bends its head sideways into its shell rather tha...

Dracula ant’s killer bite makes it the fastest on Earth

Image
 The Dracula ant can strike 5,000 times faster than the blink of an eye, beating the old equivalent speed record by a factor of three. Dracula ants get their name for the way they sometimes drink the blood of their own young. But this week, the insects have earned a new claim to fame. Dracula ants of the species Mystrium camillae can snap their jaws together so fast, you could fit 5,000 strikes into the time it takes us to blink an eye. According to a new study, the Dracula ant, Mystrium camillae, can snap its mandibles at speeds of up to 90 meters per second (more than 200 mph ), making it the fastest animal movement on record. This means the blood-suckers wield the fastest known movement in nature, according to a study published this week in the journal Royal Society Open Science. Interestingly, the ants produce their record-breaking snaps simply by pressing their jaws together so hard that they bend. This stores energy in one of the jaws, like a...

Different sources of energy.

  1. Solar Energy 2. Wind Energy 3. Geothermal Energy 4. Hydrogen Energy 5. Tidal Energy 6. Wave Energy 7. Hydroelectric Energy 8. Biomass Energy 9. Nuclear Power 10. Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil and Natural Gas)

The major type or sources of renewable and non renewable sources

  Types of Sources of Energy These can be broken down into renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Renewable Energy Source A renewable energy source is any natural resource that can replace it quickly and dependably. These energy sources are plentiful, sustainable, naturally replenished and good to the environment. The major types or sources of renewable energy are: Solar energy from the sun Wind energy Geothermal energy from the heat inside the earth Hydropower from flowing water Ocean energy in the form of wave, tidal,  current energy and ocean  thermal energy. Biomass from plants Non-renewable Energy Source A non-renewable energy source is a source with a limited supply that we can mine or extract from the earth, and it’ll eventually run out. These are formed over thousands of years from the buried remains of ancient sea plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. Most of these energy sources are “ dirty ” fossil fuels, which are generally bad for the...

Large Hadron collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider and the largest machine in the world.[1][2] It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries.[3] It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference and as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva.
