In 2017, a video appeared on the network in which a herd of turkeys on a street performs a round dance around the body of an unhappy cat. Two years later, the video became incredibly popular again and it's not hard to understand why – the round dance looks as sinister as possible and the […]
Humans, like most primates, have exactly five fingers on their hands. It is believed that this feature of shaping our body has been transferred to us from the oldest ancestor of all terrestrial vertebrate creatures. During evolution, some species have lost some fingers and even limbs, but among them are those who have received more […]
In our world there are a variety of plant and animal species that I want to see and possibly touch. For this reason, zoos and greenhouses have been built, giving the opportunity to meet many representatives of the flora and fauna.

We have already given examples of how humanity literally destroys the planet. According to scientists, in just a few centuries, around 500 plant species were eradicated from human soil due to human exposure. Wild animals die at the same pace, not just because of pollution and deforestation. North Carolina scientists are massively killing thousands of […]
The biodiversity on our planet is sometimes amazing and can sometimes cause nightmares. We hope that our short story on hematophages – the most common parasites on earth that feed on human and animal blood – will not overshadow your sleep. In addition, most people remember mosquitoes when it comes to bloodsuckers, although there are […]

Biologists call the selfless behavior of animals altruism. Altruism is widespread in nature. As an example, scientists cite meerkats. When a group of meerkats is in search of food, a selfless animal takes an attentive position to warn relatives of the danger when predators approach. At the same time the meerkat itself remains without food. […]
Is it possible to revive extinct animals? The first to ask this question was most likely the old Neanderthal who hunted mammoths to obtain valuable hide and flesh under the ice age conditions. Of course, he did not manage to revive the mammoth, but after a few thousand years, his distant descendant, a man, wants […]
Whatever you do now, remember that billions of years of evolution have contributed to it. Everything because it does not work to turn a complex organism into another with one touch. And yet there are complex organisms. Over many centuries, questions arose such as frogs, monkeys, horses, and we all confused people. That was until […]
