Did you know?

It is now officially confirmed that men and women are not equal! But before the hardened male chauvinists rejoice and the feminists train their guns at males, women are superior, at least in one aspect! According to psychology experts, females learn to talk and use sentences earlier, and learn to read more quickly than males. Unfortunately, males have a smaller vocabulary than females at maturity.

Well, who cares about that? But something to chew up on is that though most of keep talking of equality between men and women it actually does not happen. There are many women organization that strive for this. I would say that the situation has gotten better than the few past decades.

Amazing facts

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Facts

The jellyfish is one of the oldest surviving creatures in the world. It has been around for over 600 million years and is found in all the oceans. Some even live in freshwater lakes.The jellyfish is not really a fish. It is related to corals and sea anemones. Its body is composed of 95 per cent water, and is totally transparent. This helps jellyfishes to remain unseen in the oceans. They are extremely fragile beings. They have no head, brain, heart, eyes, ears or bones. They do have a mouth to eat food. The net of tentacles hanging from their bell-shaped body is lined with poisonous stinging cells. Tiny harpoons in these stinging cells inject venom into the victims and paralyze them.

Kids would have watched the Jelly fishes in Finding Nemo movie, zoos, etc.

Elephant tusks

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Facts

Elephants have four teeth and two “tusks.” Tusks are long horn-like parts that come out of the sides of their mouths. These tusks grow about seven inches a year, and can get up to twenty feet long! The tusks are made of ivory, which is very valuable.

Generally the female elephants will not have tusks and only the male has them. Many elephants are poached just for their ivory and hence they are reducing drastically in numbers. This is something that worries me a lot. The future generations should be able to see these elephants in real instead of learning them through photos. The government needs to take stringent action and punish the poachers.
