Nairaland / General / Meet Indian Iron Man Who Breaks Stones With His Hands, Lifts Men With His Teeth by orimogunje53: 5:03pm On Aug 05, 2018
- Meet a man who breaks stones with his hands, lifts men with his teeth and withstands being run over by a vehicle

- He was dubbed India's Iron Man and already
earned his place the India Book of Records

- Amandeep Singh now dreams of entering the
Guinness Book of World Records

Amandeep Singh, also known as India's Iron
Man, is a real celebrity with a repertoire of 2500
daredevil stunts that earned him a place in the
India Book of Records.



The 34-year-old earned a place in the India Book
of Records and is now dreaming of entering the
Guinness Book of World Records
But the strongman, who lifts motorbikes above
his head, breaks stones with his hands, smashes
metal bars across his chest and withstands
being run over by a car, is not going to stop on
the achieved.


The 34-year-old is now dreaming of breaking 50
separate records to leave his mark on the
Guinness Book of World Records. Describing his
passion for extreme stunts Amandeep said:
"People tell me that they get scared when they see
me perform but I don't know how fear looks.



Amandeep's heroics and incredible feats of
strength have earned him the nickname India's
Iron Man
In the beginning, I just exercised rigorously and did
small stunts but now after nine years of practice, I don't get hurt even if someone hits me with a bunch of iron rods. I have trained hard to be this tough.




Amandeep learnt Sikh martial arts at the age of
10 and uses the combative skill to perform
daring stunts for his fans
After years of hard work, I can do more than 2500
types of stunts. I am only expanding my range as a
tough stuntman. I am always willing to do what
people find impossible."




Amandeep Singh showcased his strength to
crowds of adoring fans by withstanding being run
over by a heavy vehicle
Amandeep, from Kurukshetra in Haryana, India,
learnt Sikh martial arts while being a child. Now
he uses his skills during performances, attracting
thousands of youngsters from around the
country, who come to take a look at a local
celebrity and try out his self defence classes.





The Indian strongman showcased his talent for
the crowds by lifting a motorbike above his head
with unbelievable ease
India's Iron Man also dreams of establishing
world-class gyms to train young Sikh men and
women and promote healthy lifestyle, body
building, acting and films in the Sikh community.

I have is to perform better, give it my best shot and
break as many records I can."

Nairaland / General / See Pictures Of The Woman Tagged 'snake Woman Of Africa' by orimogunje53: 2:03pm On May 15, 2018
Seeing is believing! It may seem like a make- believe story if you are being told there is a someone who is able to twist her body into different shapes and forms.
While it is understandable that some people's bodies have changed and become flexible because of the series of exercises they do, we also have to understand that some people are naturally flexible.
There is an extent to which a full grown man can twist his body irrespec2ative of his flexibility.


Anything that passes that level is thought to be scary as people worry about the person breaking a bone or twisting the organs of the body.
Some people simply cannot watch when they see
flexible people pull off their stunts; they feel
those extremely flexible people are no longer
human since their bodies can be likened to a rubber that stretches and go back to its form.

But when it comes the lady that is referred to as
the snake woman of Africa, you will be totally
amazed. This lady has defied the odds when it
comes to flexibility; she has won the hearts of
many people within and outside the African
continent.


She is gifted and unique in her own way; she is
able to throw her body into awkward shapes and
positions with little or no efforts. The clothes she
wears are snake-like making her look more
slithery when she changes position.
This is simply flexibility at its peak; this African
woman got her title as a result of the unique
talent she has. Find below some of the pictures
of the woman called the snake woman of Africa:

1. Meet Nokulunga Buthelezi

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt6stf03ptmuq.c76f2813.jpg[/img]



The snake woman is a South African who is
known as Lunga because of her ability to contort
her body. You may never see this as big deal
until you get into that position. She can bend her
body in ways that will make you feel like she does not have bones at all.

[img]http://www.i.onthe.io/vllkyt3rvtsthnpccg.fc3ce7a8.jpg[/img]

For her to able to smile in this position, then you
have to know she is not in any form of pain. She
considers it normal for her to be able to move
her body as she wants.

3. Inherited 'snake genes'

A man gift make a room for him...

Many Nigerians are oblivious to the story of the woman whose picture adorns the back of 20 naira note they spend on a daily. At the back of the 20 naira note is Ladi Kwali’s picture, a celebrated potter who hailed from the northern part of Nigeria.


Ladi Kwali was born in the village of Kwali, which is located in the Gwari region of present day Abuja, where pottery was indigenous female tradition.

Kwali who grew up in a family in which womenfolk made pots for a living, learnt to make pottery as a child from her aunt.


Kwali's younger brother, Mallam Mekaniki Kyebese, said: “Even in the early years of pottery making, Ladi Kwali excelled in the crafts and her wares were often sold even before they were taken to the markets” She produced pottery pieces that were influenced by the Gbagyi tradition during her first professional years.

With the help of a famous English studio potter, Michael Cardew, Kwali came to international prominence for her talents in the 1950s. Cardew, who was appointed to the post of pottery officer in the department of commerce and industry in 1951, launched the Abuja Pottery Training Centre along with Kwali in 1952 and spent the following fifteen years teaching and learning from Nigerian potters.



Ladi Kwali is featured on back of the 20 naira
note.

Kwali would later join the Abuja pottery and become its first female potter. She later became
an instructor Ladi’s pots were noted for their beauty of form and decoration. The Emir of Abuja, Alhaji Suleiman Barau acquired several pots made by
Ladi. In the palace of the Emir was where Michael Cardew saw Ladi’s work in 1950. Ladi Kwali would later become prominent after this discovery by Cardew Her pots became art objects and were also
featured in international exhibitions of Abuja pottery organised by Cardew in 1958, 1959 and 1962.

Her pottery was also displayed during Nigeria’s independence celebrations in 1960.

Kwali and Cardew toured America in 1972, and at
the Berkeley Galleries in London, her works was shown to great acclaim. Her works - glazed dishes, bowls and beakers, which she created with stylised animal sgraffito, were the works for which she was best known.
These works were a great asset in the popularity of Abuja pottery beyond the shores of Africa.






The first Nigerian woman to be on a naira note,
Ladi Kwali

Below is the list of her awards and
achievements:

- Kwali had been honoured in many ways. In
1962, she was awarded an MBE (Member of
the Order of the British Empire). In 1977,
Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria awarded her
an honorary doctoral degree.

- The Nigerian government awarded her with
highest national honour for academic
achievement, Nigerian National Order of Merit
Award.
-In 1981, she also received the national honour
of the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON)
.
- A major street in Abuja is named after her.
The street is called Ladi Kwali road.

- The Abuja Pottery was renamed the Ladi
Kwali Pottery in the early 1980s.

- Her picture adorned the back of the Nigerian
20 naira note, making her the first Nigerian
woman to be on a naira note.

- After Cardew died the previous year, Kwali died
on August 12, 1984 at the age of 59 in Minna.

Why Is Christmas Day On The 25th December?







INTRODUCTION
Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday
and a worldwide cultural and commercial
phenomenon. For two millennia, people
around the world have been observing it with
traditions and practices that are both
religious and secular in nature. Christians
celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary
of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual
leader whose teachings form the basis of
their religion. Popular customs include
exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees,
attending church, sharing meals with family
and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa
Claus to arrive. December 25–Christmas
Day–has been a federal holiday in the United
States since 1870.

Christmas is celebrated to remember the
birth of of Jesus Christ , who Christians
believe is the Son of God.

....................**................,,,

The name 'Christmas' comes from the Mass
of Christ (or Jesus). A Mass service (which
is sometimes called Communion or
Eucharist) is where Christians remember
that Jesus died for us and then came back
to life. The 'Christ-Mass' service was the
only one that was allowed to take place
after sunset (and before sunrise the next
day), so people had it at Midnight! So we
get the name Christ-Mass, shortened to
Christmas.

...........**.............. . ......


Christmas is now celebrated by people
around the world , whether they are
Christians or not. It's a time when family
and friends come together and remember
the good things they have. People, and
especially children, also like Christmas as
it's a time when you give and receive
presents!


................**............,,,,,,..,

The Date of Christmas No one knows the real birthday of Jesus!


No date is given in the Bible, so why do we
celebrate it on the 25th December? The
early Christians certainly had many
arguments as to when it should be
celebrated! Also, the birth of Jesus probably
didn't happen in the year 1 but slightly
earlier, somewhere between 2 BCE/BC and 7
BCE/BC, possibly in 4 BCE/BC (there isn't a
0 - the years go from 1 BC/BCE to 1!).
The first recorded date of Christmas being
celebrated on December 25th was in 336,
during the time of the Roman Emperor
Constantine (he was the first Christian
Roman Emperor). A few years later, Pope
Julius I officially declared that the birth of
Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th
December.

................**............,,,,,,..,


A very early Christian tradition said that the
day when Mary was told that she would have
a very special baby , Jesus (called the
Annunciation) was on March 25th - and it's
still celebrated today on the 25th March.
Nine months after the 25th March is the
25th December! March 25th was also the
day some early Christians thought the world
had been made, and also the day that Jesus
died on when he was an adult. The date of
March 25th was chosen because people had
calculated that was the day on which Jesus
died as an adult (the 14th of Nisan in the
Jewish calendar) and they thought that
Jesus was born and had died on the same
day of the year.



Some people also think that December 25th
might have also been chosen because the
Winter Solstice and the ancient pagan
Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia'
and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took place in
December around this date - so it was a time
when people already celebrated things.



................**............,,,,,,..,



The Winter Solstice is the day where there is
the shortest time between the sun rising and
the sun setting. It happens on December
21st or 22nd. To pagans this meant that the
winter was over and spring was coming and
they had a festival to celebrate it and
worshipped the sun for winning over the
darkness of winter. In Scandinavia, and
some other parts of northern Europe, the
Winter Solstice is known as Yule and is
where we get Yule Logs from. In Eastern
Europe the mid-winter festival is called
Koleda.



The Roman Festival of Saturnalia took place
between December 17th and 23rd and
honoured the Roman god Saturn. Dies
Natalis Solis Invicti means 'birthday of the
unconquered sun' and was held on
December 25th (when the Romans thought
the Winter Solstice took place) and was the
'birthday' of the Pagan Sun god Mithra. In
the pagan religion of Mithraism, the holy day
was Sunday and is where get that word
from!



The Roman emperor Aurelian created 'Sol
Invictus' in 274. But there are records of
early Christians connecting 14th Nisan to
25th March and so the 25th December go
back to around 200!
The Jewish festival of Lights, Hanukkah
starts on the 25th of Kislev (the month in
the Jewish calendar that occurs at about
the same time as December). Hanukkah
celebrates when the Jewish people were
able to re-dedicate and worship in their
Temple, in Jerusalem, again following many
years of not being allowed to practice their
religion.


Jesus was a Jew, so this could be another
reason that helped the early Church choose
December the 25th for the date of
Christmas!




Christmas had also been celebrated by the
early Church on January 6th, when they also
celebrated the Epiphany (which means the
revelation that Jesus was God's son) and
the Baptism of Jesus. Now Epiphany mainly
celebrates the visit of the Wise Men to the
baby Jesus , but back then it celebrated both
things! Jesus's Baptism was originally seen
as more important than his birth, as this was
when he started his ministry. But soon
people wanted a separate day to celebrate
his birth.



Most of the world uses the 'Gregorian
Calendar' implemented by Pope Gregory XIII
in 1582. Before that the 'Roman' or Julian
Calendar was used (named after Julius
Caesar). The Gregorian calendar is more
accurate that the Roman calendar which had
too many days in a year! When the switch
was made 10 days were lost, so that the day
that followed the 4th October 1582 was 15th
October 1582. In the UK the change of
calendars was made in 1752. The day after
2nd September 1752 was 14th September
1752.


Many Orthodox and Coptic Churches still use
the Julian Calendar and so celebrate
Christmas on the 7th January (which is
when December 25th would have been on
the Julian calendar). And the Armenian
Apostolic Church celebrates it on the 6th
January! In some part of the UK, January
6th is still called 'Old Christmas' as this
would have been the day that Christmas
would have celebrated on, if the calendar
hadn't been changed. Some people didn't
want to use the new calendar as they
thought it 'cheated' them out of 11 days!


................**............,,,,,,..,


Christians believe that Jesus is the light of
the world, so the early Christians thought
that this was the right time to celebrate the
birth of Jesus. They also took over some of
the customs from the Winter Solstice and
gave them Christian meanings, like Holly ,
Mistletoe and even Christmas Carols !
St Augustine was the person who really
started Christmas in the UK by introducing
Christianity in the 6th century. He came
from countries that used the Roman
Calendar, so western countries celebrate
Christmas on the 25th December. Then
people from Britain and Western Europe took
Christmas on the 25th December all over the
world!
If you'd like to know more about the history
behind the dating of Christmas, then read
this very good article on Bible History Daily
(goes to another site).



__So when was Jesus Born?__



There's a strong and practical reason why
Jesus might not have been born in the
winter, but in the spring or the autumn! It
can get very cold in the winter and it's
unlikely that the shepherds would have been
keeping sheep out on the hills (as those hills
can get quite a lot of snow sometimes!).


During the spring (in March or April) there's
a Jewish festival called 'Passover'. This
festival remembers when the Jews had
escaped from slavery in Egypt about 1500
years before Jesus was born. Lots of lambs
would have been needed during the
Passover Festival, to be sacrificed in the
Temple in Jerusalem. Jews from all over the
Roman Empire traveled to Jerusalem for the
Passover Festival, so it would have been a
good time for the Romans to take a census.
Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem for the
census (Bethlehem is about six miles from
Jerusalem).



In the autumn (in September or October)
there's the Jewish festival of 'Sukkot' or
'The Feast of Tabernacles'. It's the festival
that's mentioned the most times in the
Bible! It is when Jewish people remember
that they depended on God for all they had
after they had escaped from Egypt and
spent 40 years in the desert. It also
celebrates the end of the harvest. During
the festival, Jews live outside in temporary
shelters (the word 'tabernacle' come from a
latin word meaning 'booth' or 'hut').



Many people who have studied the Bible,
think that Sukkot would be a likely time for
the birth of Jesus as it might fit with the
description of there being 'no room in the
inn'. It also would have been a good time to
take the Roman Census as many Jews went
to Jerusalem for the festival and they would
have brought their own tents/shelters with
them! (It wouldn't have been practical for
Joseph and Mary to carry their own shelter
as Mary was pregnant.)




.......... *.......... *

The possibilities for the Star of Bethlehem
seems to point either spring or autumn.
The possible dating of Jesus birth can also
be taken from when Zechariah (who was
married to Mary's cousin Elizabeth) was on
duty in the Jewish Temple as a Priest and
had an amazing experience. There is an
excellent article on the dating of Christmas
based on the dates of Zechariah's
experience, on the blog of theologian, Ian
Paul. With those dates, you get Jesus being
born in September - which also fits with
Sukkot!
The year that Jesus was born isn't known.
The calendar system we have now was
created in the 6th Century by a monk called
Dionysius Exiguus. He was actually trying to
create a better system for working out when
Easter should be celebrated, based on a new
calendar with the birth of Jesus being in the
year 1. However, he made a mistake in his
maths and so got the possible year of
Jesus's birth wrong!


.......... *.......... *


Most scholars now think that Jesus was
born between 2 BCE/BC and 7 BCE/BC,
possibly in 4 BCE/BC. Before Dionysius's
new calendars, years were normally dated
from the reigns of Roman Emperors. The
new calendar became more widely used
from the 8th Century when the 'Venerable
Bede of Northumbria' used it in his 'new'
history book! There is no year '0'. Bede
started dating things before the year 1 and
used 1 BCE/BC as the first year before 1. At
that time in Europe, the number 0 didn't
exist in maths - it only arrived in Europe in
the 11th to 13th centuries!


.......... *.......... *

So whenever you celebrate Christmas,
remember that you're celebrating a real
event that happened about 2000 years ago,
that God sent his Son into the world as a
Christmas present for everyone!
As well as Christmas and the solstice, there
are some other festivals that are held in late
December. Hanukkah is celebrated by Jews;
and the festival of Kwanzaa is celebrated by
some Africans and African Americans takes
place from December 26th to January 1st.

Health / 10 Most Useless Part Of The Body Of Human by orimogunje53: 9:54pm On Aug 30, 2017
10 Useless Human Body Parts





We should not always assume that every human
development has an adaptive explanation.
Because of the complexity of evolution, the
human body still sustains a few reminisce of our
ancient lives. Here are some useless human
body parts that serve very little or no purpose in
our survival.

10. Appendix


When primitive humans were largely food
gatherers vegetarians, the appendix helped in the
digestion of food. Located in a pouch like
structure between large and the small intestine,
the appendix basically assisted the latter in
digesting cellulose and possibly also produced
white blood cells. Though lying dormant, the
appendix can causes a host of problems like it
can get infected causing appendicitis – an
inflammation of the appendix. It causes
abdominal pain, decreased appetite, nausea etc
but most of the time people don’t have the
symptoms.



9. Coccyx


Otherwise called the tailbone, it’s believed to the
remnant of our pre-historic ancestor’s body part.
Also found in Apes, the Coccyx is the final
hanging segment of our vertebral column. It is
comprised of three to five rudimentary vertebrae.


So why exactly did we need a tail in ancient
time? Scientist believe that the tail helped in
communicating and balancing our structure but
since we humans learned to walk upright, the tail
slowly ceased to exist leaving only a speck of
reminder hanging useless. But despite the
removal of the tailbone is quiet a task since it’s
attached to a number of intricate ligaments,
muscles and tendons.


8. Paranasal Sinuses


Human sinuses are basically air-filled spaces
found surrounding the nasal cavity in our face.
What is the purpose of their existence now is
subjected to much debate but when infected our
sinuses causes much pain. Previously the
paranasal sinuses were responsible for our
heightened sense of smell that allowed our
ancestors to hunt on daily basis and survive.


However some believe paranasal sinuses serves
a few possible functions like increase resonance
of our voice, regulate pressure, lighten the
weight in the front of our skull etc. Inflammation
of the sinuses causes nasal irrigation and can
even lead to cancer.



7. Tonsils


Other than the mass of tissue situated at either
side at the back of the human throat, there are a
number of other tonsils like the adenoid tonsil,
two palatine tonsils, the lingual tonsil and two
tubal tonsils.

Tonsils help in protecting the throat
from inhaling foreign pathogens and against
indigestion but most of the time they prove to be
more dangerous than beneficial. Tonsils are very
much prone to infections that may lead to a host
of problems and may require surgical removal
sometimes.



6. Arrector Pili Muscles


The arrector pili muscle causes the phenomenon
we commonly refer to as goose bumps. There
are small muscles attached to our hair follicles
which when contracts causes the hair to stand
up. In most animals the goose bumps are a
defence mechanism. When in fear the hair ends
rise up to make them look bigger in hopes of
deterring predators.

The arrector pili muscles
cannot be consciously controlled. Some experts
have come up with one purpose for the
contraction of the muscles and their legitimacy
of staying in our body is that the ejected hair
helps trap and retain hot air inside our body. But
since human body has relatively very less hair to
allow thermal insulation, the argument kind of
falls flat.



5. Wisdom Tooth


Also called the third molar it’s developed
between the ages of 17 and 25. According to
researchers, the out-of-place wisdom tooth was
useful to our ancestors for grinding down on
plant tissues. But today our skulls have become
smaller and the number of teeth has gone down
because they are no longer required. The change
of the diet still couldn’t get rid of the third molar
or wisdom teeth completely. It’s a painful
procedure to remove an infected wisdom tooth.


4. Palmaris Longus Muscles


A completely useless muscle that stretches
between the flexor carpi ulnaris and the flexor
carpi radialis. About 14% of the world population
has no Palmaris Longus muscles but that doesn’t
affect their grip strength. This long, narrow
muscle was once useful when our ancestors had
to climb with hands. One can feel the muscles
while flexing the wrist and touching the pads of
the thumb and the fifth finger. It can be felt
palpitating, which is why sometimes medical
students mistake it for a nerve.


3. Plica Semilunaris of Conjunctiv
[img]http://www.wonderslist.com/10-useless-human-body-parts/plica-semilunaris-of-conjunctiva/[/img]


Plica semilunaris is also called the third eyelid,
located in the corner of our eye next to our tear
duct. It’s a small folded fragment seen
prominently when we move our eyes. The Plica
semilunaris is said to help the eye maintain tear
drainage and also allows free rotation of our
eyes. Without the Plica semilunaris our eye
would limited movements because the eyeball
will be attached directly to the conjunctiva. But
even then its role is quiet restricted because of
its tiny size. Moreover the existence of the Plica
semilunaris is not absolutely necessary for our
survival.




2. Subclavius Muscle



The Subclavius Muscle is small triangular thick
tendon that stretches between our first rib and
our collarbone. Lying beneath our shoulders, the
muscle helps carry our shoulders forward and
downward, depress our shoulders. Subclavius
Muscle was useful when primitive humans
walked on all four but today it pretty much of no
good use. The muscle is not found in everyone,
some have only one, some two and some none
at all.


1. Male


Nipple develops in a foetus even before the
gender is determined. It’s only on its 6th week
that the male hormones such as testosterone
start to take shape. At this point the male
nipples stop to develop further but sometimes fat
tissues accumulate around the nipple making
them swell and become seemingly similar to
female breasts. In pubescent boys, high levels of
estrogen can also lead to swelling around the
nipple making them looking larger. Though
functionless, male nipples are pretty sensitive
and can develop breast cancer.

Science/Technology / 10 Most Deadliest Animals In The World Number 1 And 4 Will Surprise You by orimogunje53: 9:39pm On Aug 30, 2017
Top 10 Deadliest Animals Around the World





Danger and especially dangerous creatures
fascinate us. We are constantly efforts to make
a better and safer life for ourselves, but the
world remains a dangerous place. As for wild
animals, what determines their danger level
might not necessarily be size. What we can
formulate with our human brain power? We may
think of some of these animals as friendly or
harmless, but sometimes even friendly seeming
species become dangerous. Here are the top 10
deadliest animals that could turn any human,
smart or dumb, into a tasty lunch or dinner.
Many more criteria are still out there. Feel free
to add other deadly creatures to the comments

Top 10 Deadliest Animals


10. Jellyfish


Affectionately known as the “sea wasp”. The
Jellyfish killing more then 100 per year provides
a good example of why these graceful, free-
floating marine creatures can also be some of
the world’s deadliest living organisms. They are
mostly found around the Australian coastline, and
are most commonly seen in the summer months.
Just like any animal, however, jellyfish take no
prisoners when they feel threatened. Box jellyfish
don’t even drift; they actively swim to hunt their
prey, and a nice human leg or arm can suffer
some serious collateral damage.


9. The Shark


The shark’s most incredible, virtually X-Men
ability is called electroreception. They have
organs in their heads called Ampullae of
Lorenzini. Every time any animal moves, it
generates a very slight electrical field, and
sharks can actually sense this electricity.

Thus a person treading water looks like lightning to a shark. A great white can detect half a billionth of
a single volt. If it is within 100 meters, it can
detect the voltage of your heartbeat. Averaging
15 feet long, with rows of up to 300 sharp
serrated teeth inside powerful 4-foot-wide jaws,
the great white shark is comfortably at the top
of the food chain. It eats a wide variety of
species and isn’t too picky, but humans are not
preferred, being leaner and bonier than its
favorite prey—the fattier seals and sea lions.




8. Hippopotamus


After the elephant and rhinoceros, the
hippopotamus is the third largest type of land
mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl.
They are usually found in Africa and are
responsible for more human fatalities on the
continent than any other large animal. Male and
female hippos tend to have different reasons for
attacking. A male hippo will defend its territory,
which runs along the bank of a river or lake,
whereas the female becomes aggressive in
defending her young. They killed more then 200
every year.


7. Lion


A full-grown male lion is about 6 inches taller
than a tiger and weighs anywhere from 330 to
550 lbs (150-250 kgs), averaging 400. Kings of
the jungle and one of nature’s most brilliant
predators, lions are fast, cunning and extremely
powerful, they have a sixth sense for hunting and
they aren’t very discriminating when it comes to
a red-meat dinner. Lions are found on the plains
of Africa, but are also held in captivity around
the world in zoos and reserves. Lions simply see
humans as slower, less-able free lunches, much
like gazelles or a zebras. These caused over 250
deaths per year.


6. Cape Buffalo


Also known as “black death” the Cape buffalo,
found in Africa, being one of the most dangerous
animals on land. Killing more then 500 per year,
one of Africa’s most dangerous beasts. It is
extremely aggressive and unpredictable. It can
weigh between 900 to 1800 pounds, and except
for some lone bulls, this bovine species is very
gregarious. Herd members are quick to defend
each other from lions, crocodiles, or hunters, by
ramming the predator with their sharp horns.
Sometimes a wounded bull will circle around to
ambush its hunter from behind.


5. Elephant



The elephant, the largest land mammal, lives in
Africa and some parts of Asia. Normally viewed
as friendly, caused over 600 deaths per year, can
also be the most dangerous to human health.
These lovable, circus-friendly icons can be found
in Africa and South Asia, and in a lot of cases,
can be found in urban areas where people use
their services for tourism, trade and
transportation. But, just like a frustrated
employee, these hard-working, usually docile
creatures never forget poor treatment or being
threatened, and that’s why they lash out. An
elephant’s legs, trunk, and weight can crush just
about anything, and one moment of anger can be
lethal.


4. Crocodile



Killing up to 2,000 of people a year, it takes is a
good look at one of these prehistoric beasts to
realize just how deadly they can be. Crocodiles
can be found in the southern U.S., the Tropics,
Africa, Asia, and Australia, and love the taste of
human flesh just as much as that of any other
unsuspecting animal it sees. The saltwater and
Nile crocodiles are the most dangerous. It eats a
wide variety of animals, living and dead. Its eyes,
ears, and nostrils are located high on the head,
which allows a crocodile to see and hear its
prey. It ranges from 5 to 20 feet long.


3. Scorpion


Caused up to 5,000 deaths per year, Scorpions
are predatory arthropod animals of the order
Scorpiones within the class Arachnida. Found
widely distributed over all continents, except
Antarctica, in a variety of terrestrial habitats
except the high latitude tundra, these eight-
legged arthropods can pack a powerful punch.

They are a resilient, non-parasitic killer that
actually have the ability to distribute doses of
venom based on the type of prey. Buthids, in
particular, are the most deadly scorpions and are
generally found in Africa, though deadly
scorpions have been known to survive and thrive
in bone-chilling environments, such as the Andes
and the Himalayas.



2. Snake


Living snakes are found on almost every
continent. Many species of snakes are
dangerous to humans . More than 450 species
are venomous, and 250 are capable of killing a
person. Most venomous bites occur in Africa,
Asia, and North America. These cold-blooded
reptiles are also cold-blooded killers, and it
always seems the further you get away from
home, the deadlier they get.

The toxicity of some snakes are incredibly severe. These things tend to kill humans for one simple reason: they feel provoked. Plain and simple: It’s their natural defense mechanism to lash out with razor-sharp teeth and sink venom into your skin.
These caused 100,000-plus deaths per year.


1. Mosquitoes – Most Deadliest Animal


Mosquitoes make number one on the list of
deadliest animal in world. This small blood-
sucking insect kills 2 million to 3 million people
each year worldwide. They are a family of small,
midge-like flies: the Culicidae. Although a few
species are harmless or even useful to humanity,
most are a nuisance because they consume
blood from living vertebrates, including humans.
The females of many species of mosquitoes are
blood eating pests. It can spread diseases, most
notably malaria. It can also spread elephantiasis,
yellow fever, Dengue fever and West Nile virus
. Mosquitoes are found in abundance in tropical
areas and can also survive the winter in
countries with lower temperatures such as
Canada. There are over 3,000 types of
mosquitoes and all have the ability to transfer
population-killing diseases.

Health / World’s First Head Transplant Scheduled For December 2017 by orimogunje53: 6:04pm On Jul 14, 2017







A RUSSIAN man who has a debilitating illness is
set to become the first person to undergo a
head transplant next December.
Valery Spiridonov, 30, suffers from Werdnig-
Hoffmann disease, a rare form of spinal
muscular atrophy.


Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero hopes to
operate on Valery Spiridonov in December 2017
Italian surgeon Dr Sergio Canavero, who will
carry out the £14 million experimental transplant,
is likely to take 36-hours and will involve over
150 doctors and nurses.
The controversial operation will involve cooling
his head to around 12 degrees Celsius, cutting it
from his body and connecting it to the donated
body of a brain-dead person.




After the surgery, Valery will be kept in a
medically-induced coma for three to four weeks
while doctors stimulate his spinal cord nerves to
reconnect and start functioning.
Valery said the doctor dubbed Dr Frankenstein,
will reveal more details about the op next month.




He told MailOnline: “If you want something to be
done, you need to participate in it. I do
understand the risks. There are many.
“We can’t even imagine what exactly can go
wrong. I’m afraid that I wouldn’t live long enough
to see it happen to someone else.”









Dr Sergio Canavero says human head transplant
will happen by end of 2017
But surgeons believe the opinion-dividing
procedure could cause Valery to go insane or
die.



“I would not wish this on anyone,” said Dr Hunt
Batjer, president elect of the American
Association for Neurological Surgeons.
“I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there
are a lot of things worse than death.”



Arthur Caplan, director of medical ethics at New
York University’s Langone Medical Centre
described Dr Canavero as “nuts”.



He believes that the bodies of head transplant
patients “would end up being overwhelmed with
different pathways and chemistry than they are
used to and they’d go crazy”.









The controversial operation will involve cooling
his head to around 12 degrees Celsius, cutting it
from his body and connecting it to the donated
body of a brain-dead person



‘I do understand the risks. There are many’
But Dr Canavero hit back at the criticism saying
Valery will not only live with his new body, but
will be able to walk within a year of the
operation.




He told New Scientist last year: “I would say we
have plenty of data to go on.
“It’s important that people stop thinking this is
impossible. This is absolutely possible and we’re
working towards it.”





The potentially ground-breaking treatment was
performed on a monkey in 1970.
The animal only lived for eight days after the
body rejected the new head, leaving the monkey
unable to breath and move.
