Most people know that bats use echolocation to maneuver around their surroundings. You learned it in grade school. We also know that this technique is not strictly unique to just bats. Other animals like Whales, Dolphins, and even some mice utilize this skill too. But there are other things about bats that have recently been discovered that prove just how extraordinary this creature really is. Bats fill the night sky with sounds of chirps and squeaks, and we are now beginning to understand the mysteries behind these winged creatures. Here are 10 amazing things that most people don’t know about bats. Enjoy! They Are Expert Hunters For the longest time, it was believed that bats could only detect prey that wasn’t moving. This was a huge disadvantage for the winged creature. So, most insects would stay completely still if they knew a bat was attempting to hunt them. A bat from South America disproved this theory, however. Research revealed that this bat was able to detect prey that was mo...

The deadly animals on this list are ones that even animal lovers will want to avoid at all costs. Here is a list of some of the most dangerous animals in the world. Poison Dart Frogs Living in the tropical, humid regions of South and Central America, these poisonous frogs can kill 10 people with their poison. They get their poison from their diet of ants, termites, and mites. Small, but deadly, these frogs can be as small as 1.5 cm in adult length and weigh on average a slight 1 oz. Why are they called Poison Dart frogs? Indigenous tribes used their poison to make poison arrows when hunting for food. While their bright colors are stunning, they are a sign of the toxicity of the species and a way to warn potential predators to stay away. Polar Bear These animals will eat anything in sight that has meat on it. They don’t usually kill humans, but this is probably because they live far out of reach. These marine mammals live within the Arctic Circle and spend many months of the year on sea...

A Polar Vortex was unleashed on several parts of the U.S. in 2019. This weather phenomenon hit a particular apple orchard in Michigan quite hard. While farm manager Andrew Sietsema was pruning to repair the damage caused by the vortex, he found something surprisingly elegant. Nature’s Frozen Masterpiece Sietsema came upon a phenomenon he named ‘ghost apples’. As the name implies, these spectral-looking, fruit-like objects resemble something made at a glass studio. Due to the acidity of the apples, the fruits began to thaw quicker than the ice as the temperatures began to warm once more. Sietsema shook the trees as he pruned and the shaking caused some of the fruit to completely fall from the tree. In some cases, only the mushy remains of the apple fell to the ground while the radiant, crystalline apple-like objects remained on the trees. Enchanting Photos Sietsema’s photos of the icy apple shells “shattered” the internet, inspiring jokes, memes, and amazement. Cultural references were ...

Let us assume for a moment that you’re in a big hurry and desperately need a computer.  Perhaps you are a hacker attempting to install terrible malware into a computer, or a hacker trying to steal some files. Or perhaps you’re just a regular person who is due to do a huge presentation at work or school and you need it on a USB stick for the projectionist who will then operate your slide show. In each of these scenarios, a USB drive is required. As you might already know, USB is the abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is likewise called as a “flash drive” or “thumb drive” or “jump drive,” or “USB key,” or in Spider-verse dialect, a “goober.” It is basically a tiny hard drive that connects to a USB port on a computer. For young readers, in case they’re too technologically advanced for this and exclusively use cloud-based storage, USB drives transfer information between computers. These devices still exist and haven’t quite reached the same status as floppy disks just yet! In th...
