kiwi is the only bird that can fly backward.

Squirrel ain't mammal

Squirrel are mammals. They belong to rat family.
however, they don't fly, but hop from tree to tree.
The web like arm is not A̶̲̥̅​ wing but like A̶̲̥̅​ parachute that cause buoyancy in the air.

Geniustic: dats nt flying, d squirrel hops 4rm branch 2 branch, 'flying' has 2 do wit long distances.

Nope..This is not the regular squirell you know. This one has a bat-like wing. Though it's doesn't flap it but it enables it to stay afloat on air through reasonable distance.

MALE HONEY BEES COMMIT INTIMATE SUICIDE!!!
The male honey bee (called the drone ) lives for one purpose only - to mate with the queen - and he will
die in the process of doing so.

Only one round!

Horses and cows sleep while standing up.

I dis agree with this.

That is one hell function of a wing. That is dosn't flap it is another story but moving with the aid of the buoyancy provided by the wings up to a hundred meters, changing direction by manipulating the wings while on course falls into the general definition of Flying!

There are d kinda things i wan2 c on frontpage...very educative OP...am so savin ds page...nice job

WoW...isn't this wonderful!!

Here are some more interesting facts about bats:
• There are nearly 1,000 species of bats in the world. However, bats are basically
tropical animals and only about 40 kinds
of bats live in North America.
• Bats have been around a long time, since the age of dinosaurs. Ancient bats
resembled those living today. Except for
the most extreme desert and polar
regions, bats today live in almost every
kind of habitat worldwide.
• Bats have some amazing abilities:
Mexican free-tailed bats can fly 10,000
feet high. Townsend’s-big eared bats
can pluck insects from foliage.
Hibernating little brown bats can stop
breathing for almost an hour during
hibernation to reduce their energy needs.
Fishing bats have an echolocation
system so sophisticated they can detect a minnow’s fin as fine as a human hair.
The Honduran white bat, a colorful snow-white bat with yellow nose and
ears, cuts large leaves to make “tents” to
protect its small colonies from drenching jungle rains.
• Because they consume quantities of
“bugs” such as mosquitoes, bats are a
natural form of insect control. For
instance, one little brown bat can catch
600 mosquitoes or more an hour.
• Many garden pests can hear bats and
will avoid areas where bats are looking
for a meal.
• Desert ecosystems rely on nectar-feeding bats to pollinate giant cacti, including the organ pipe and saguaro of Arizona.
• Agricultural plants from bananas to
cashews, dates, and figs rely on bats for
pollination and seed dispersal.
• Despite bats’ many benefits including
pollination and insect control, their
populations are declining nearly
everywhere. More than half of
American bats species are considered
endangered due to disturbance of
roosting bats in caves, loss of habitat
including forested areas, and inappropriate use of pesticides.
• Loss of bats destabilizes ecosystems and can cause people to increase their use of chemicals to control insects. Excessive
use of chemicals can be harmful to
human health and harmful to wildlife.

You read it in your basic Biology.

Fun facts about your smile and teeth
• It seems children have the right idea
about smiling…they smile about 400
times a day.
• Women smile about 62 times a day
compared to men who smile eight times
a day on average.
• Each person’s set of teeth is unique much like their fingerprints. Even identical twins do not have exactly the same set of teeth. Did you know that your tongue print is also unique?

Have you seen paratroopers or sky divers before?
Go see them in action, you will understand this logic.

Lightning and thunder both happen at the same time but because light travels faster than sound, we see the ligthning first and the sound (thunder) comes later.
