Hummingbirds are birds that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird. They hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12–80 times per second (depending on the species).
Many of the hummingbird species have bright plumage with exotic coloration. In many species, the coloring does not come from pigmentation in the feather structure, but instead from prism-like cells within the top layers of the feathers.
Hummingbird hawk-moth is also known as Macroglossum stellatarum, It is a species of Sphingidae. Its long proboscis and its hovering behaviour, accompanied by an audible humming noise, make it look remarkably like a hummingbird while feeding on flowers.
The forewings are brown, with black wavy lines across them, and the hindwings are orange with a black edge. The abdomen is quite broad, with a fan-tail of setae at the end. The wingspan is 40–45 millimetres (1.6–1.8 in).
The larva is green with two grey stripes bordered in cream along the sides and the horn at the rear end typical of sphingids.
The Mutillidae are a family of more than 3,000 species of wasps whose wingless females and known as velvet ant refers to their dense pile of hair which most often is bright scarlet or orange, but may also be black, white, silver, or gold. Black and white specimens are sometimes known as panda ants due to their hair coloration resembling that of the Chinese giant panda.It is found in Chile, they are known for their extremely painful stings, hence the common name cow killer or cow ant.
The males and females are so different, it is almost impossible to associate the two sexes of a species unless they are captured while mating. In a few species, the male is so much larger than the female, he carries her aloft while mating, which is also seen in the related family Tiphiidae
Cheetah is the fastest animal on Earth which can accelerate from 0 to 96.6 km/h (60.0 mph) in under three seconds, though endurance is limited: most Cheetahs run for only 60 seconds at a time. When sprinting, cheetahs spend more time in the air than on the ground. He can reach to 112-120 Km/h or 70-75 mph. The adult cheetah weighs from 21 to 72 kg (46 to 159 lb). Its total
head-and-body length is from 110 to 150 cm (43 to 59 in), while the tail
can measure 60 to 84 cm (24 to 33 in) in length.
The three-toed sloth is the slowest mammal on Earth, due to its lack of muscle tissue.Three-toed sloths are about the size of a small dog or a large cat, with the head and body having a combined length of around 45 cm (18 in) and a weight of 3.5–4.5 kg (8–10 lb). It is so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. All sloths are built for life in the treetops. Three-toed sloths also have an advantage that few other mammals possess: They have extra neck vertebrae that allows them to turn their heads some 270 degrees.
A genetically modified mice. A glowing Gene taken out from a Jellyfish and put into the mouse. Transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein, which glows green under blue light. The central mouse is wild-type.
Pink fairy armadillo smallest armadillo species in the world. It is found in central Argentina, where it inhabits dry grasslands and sandy plains with thorn bushes. The pink fairy armadillo is approximately 90–115 mm (3.5-4.5 inches) long, excluding the tail. The pink fairy armadillo uses their digging abilities to burrow in areas beside large ant colonies. Ants provide a constant food source for this species of armadillo. As well, they may also forage on worms, snails and plant matter but ants are their number one choice.
Hagfish is eel-shaped creatures use four pairs of thin sensory tentacles surrounding their mouths to find food—including carcasses of much larger animals. They live in cold waters and shallow deep as 5,500 feet nearly. To be safe from the predators attack hagfish produce slime, which give slippery exit and when large fish sees its as a meal instead gets a mouth full of slime. It can go months without food.
On August 14, 2010, on China National Highway 110 and Beijing-Tibet expressway in Hebei and Inner Mongolia faced the massive Traffic Jam which slow down thousand of vehicles for more than "100 Kilometer (62.1 Miles)" and lasted for more than "TEN DAYS". It was so slow that many drivers were able to move their vehicle only 1KM (0.6 Miles) in 24 hours.
The Cause of traffic jam was moving heavy truck and road construction which reduced road capacity to 50% and more over police reported that minor breakdown and accidents.
