This is Narwhal POPE (horned Whale)

Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is the name of one of the pope most humans is unknown. The name "Narwhal" is derived from the Old Norse language yg means "corpse whale". The name was given for his habit reply to swim sometimes motionless on the sea surface with the position of the stomach is facing up & color spotted her reply-gray spots like drowning sailors. They are known to live only in the Arctic waters, precisely on the Arctic Ocean. Narwhal are toothed whales & including man-eating carnivorous marine animals such as fish, shrimp, or squid

Narwhal Horn mysterious spiral turned out to function as sensors to help find a giant water quality and to "smell" other Narwhal.




Horn Narwhal whale can reach a length of 2.4 meters that has long puzzled scholars of nature and hunting. Any explanation of their functions often lead to debate, so says Dr. Martin Nweeia, a researcher at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

According to Nweeia, the horn seems to have a hydrodynamic sensing capabilities. He expresses this in the prsentasi Biology Conference on Marine Mammals in San Diego.




Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) is a type of whale, including very rare. Body length reaches 4 to 4.5 meters, and most are found in ocean waters around the Canadian Arctic, but sometimes also seen far to the east to Russia.

The team found that Nweeia Narwhal horns similar to the membrane with a very sensitive surface. There are approximately 10 million nerves that are connected to the surface of the horn, in order to detect changes in temperature, pressure, and water salinity.

"There is nothing comparable with it in nature and no one is more unique than Narwhal horn in the shape, appearance, and function.

Each whale Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) also use sound to communicate with each other as well as dolphins or other whales. In fact, each may have a unique sound that also shows identity.

Scientists have long known that marine mammals use sound signals to communicate with each other in the water. Recent research even shows that whales have dialects.

However, not many recent studies as the voice identity diguankan Narwhal whale. The researchers believe Narwhal whales use sound to identify each other and distinguish one individual to another individual.

These scientists concluded after studying three tails Narwhal voice in Admiralty Bay on Baffin Island, Canada. They use electronic recorders attached to the body of the giant mammals.

"For the first time, we really can follow the animals whenever they speak and wherever they move," said Ari Shapiro of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Although one recorder missing, the remaining two have shown that different forms of sound, the sound of whistles and pulses. Shapiro shows that both types of voice signal is not used to exchange information about food sources, but merely indicate the identity of individuals in social communication.

What the Narwhal whale similar to the nose dolphins are also bottle whistling noises to communicate. Although the data on the communication between the Narwhal whales still minimal, the scientists believe it has a very sensitive hearing like any other whale.

They routinely to migrate thousands of miles and in groups. So in a voice different, each one can distinguish the individual in the group or other groups. The results of this study published in the Journal of Acoustical Society of America September 2006 edition.

The Facts About Cats

1. Cats have 30 vertebrae, which is 5 times more than men

   Cat's eye has a layer of light perefleksi called the tapetum can serve to reinforce the light entering the retina
8. Scope of 185-degree view of the cat
9. Cats have a sense of smell 20-80 million olfactory cells, whereas only 5-20 million people
10. Normal cats pulse of 110-170 pulses per minute (if you want to check the pulse to do in the hamstrings at the joints that connect the foot with the body)
11. Cat's breath as much as 20-40 times per minute

15. Cats can jump to a height of 5 times his height
16. Every cat has a nose pad that is very distinctive, so it will not have two cats penah have the same nose prints
17. Cats respond better to female calls than men, probably because suata women have a higher peak
18. People who are allergic to cats in general are allergic to cat saliva
19. Has been scientifically proven that stroking a cat is one way of lowering our blood pressure
20. Averaging 15-16 years of age cat
21. To determine the age of equality with the age of the cat, start with the age of 20 years as a cat's first year, then add 4 human years of age for each age in cats. For example: If your cat was 4 years old is equivalent to 20 years (to age 1 year) plus 3 x 4 years, which is equivalent to the age of 32 years on

9 New Animal Species In 2009

1. Family Hydrobiidae-October 22, 2009 - This newly discovered in the basement of the family Hydrobiidae snails live in the aquifers in the heart of Australia, about 100 miles (180 kilometers) northwest of Alice Springs.

0.5-inch-long (1.3-centimeter-long) snail is one of 850 new invertebrate - simple animals that includes small crustaceans, spiders, and worms - in a four-year survey of the dry Australian outback.

2. Blind cave eel-this newfound eels do not need eyes in subterranean habitats, a trait shared by most of the creatures new underground recently discovered in Australia.

at 16 inches (40 centimeters) long, eel rare - found in aquifers along the Cape Range mountains. is the longest subterranean species known in Australia, researchers said.

3. Unnamed-Uniquely adapted to live on the surface of the spring, this new, unnamed Austrochiltonia crustaceans in the genus are found only in the Great Artesian Basin of South Australia.

Little creatures at risk of extinction should be with the original springs disturbed by mining or agriculture, say scientists who recently conducted a survey in Australia four years underground habitats.

In total, more than 850 new species were identified during the survey was found near the town, said the researchers.

"What we have discovered is that you do not have to go find the depth of the ocean to discover new species of invertebrate animals - you only need to look in your own backyard," team member Andy Austin, the University of Adelaide, said in a statement.

4. Unnamed-Hold a woodlouse feet, the kind that this unnamed blind pseudoscorpion found living in the air spaces above the ground in aquifers.

0.1-inch long (3-millimeter-long) animal is one of many scorpion-like arachnids found during scientific research recently, which identified only a fifth of the unknown species believed to exist in Australia in the basement, scientists said.

5. Unnamed-This newly discovered, 0.1-inch-long (3-millimeter-long) adolescents in the genus plant hopper feed Hemipteran on sap from plant roots underground.

Over the last four years in Australia survey of underground critters, researchers had 105-degree-Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) heat, monitor lizards and snakes brown cozying up to the location of research, and hydrogen sulfide gas from a vent, team members Steve Cooper, from the Australian Museum South, said in October 2009.

6. Blind cave fish veritas Milyeringa new-found, seen above, Cape Range aquifers occupy the same as the blind cave eel found during the same survey in the Australian underground habitats.

The only blind cave fish known in Australia, 2-inch-long (5.1-centimeter-long) species are "very flexible," living in fresh water or sea water in coastal areas in the basement during the various stages of life, researchers say .

7. Blind spider-Many of the 850 new species found during surveys in the Australian underground habitats, such as spiders are blind, was "really something unexpected in unexpected places," team member Steve Cooper, from the South Australian Museum, said in October 2009.

For example, a scientist found an arachnid in western Australia dry pastureland that has been considered only in the rainforest - the first time in a group of species ever found in Australia, said Cooper.

8. The crustaceans latipes-Phreatomerus previously considered a species, is divided into eight distinct species that evolved in geographically isolated springs in South Australia.

Up to 0.8 inches (2 cm) long, the creature - found nowhere else on Earth - depends entirely on underground water released from underground springs for survival.

Many of the 850 species found in Australia for four years developed in isolation underground surveys and small caves. Animals may take shelter under the ground after the central and southern Australia dry about 15 million years ago, the team said.

New discoveries provide a "window of amazing" in past climate change and how animals evolved from surface to underground animal species, team members Steve Cooper, from the South Australian Museum, said in October 2009.

9. Paroster mesosturtensis, and Paroster microsturtensis-Three species of blind, wingless water beetles in the family Dytiscidae (picture, from left to right, Paroster macrosturtensis, Paroster mesosturtensis, and Paroster microsturtensis) recently found living in soil in the western part of Australia's dry pastureland.

Larvae (not pictured) is a "fierce looking predator" who may eat smaller crustaceans - and even each other, the scientists said in October 2009.

Unique Pattern Spider Net

Spider webs, may be a natural structure of the animal made the most beautiful and intricate. But some types of spiders make it even better. They built it one step further.

Several types of decorating spider web is even more organized in a more complex pattern, as if to show that they are the best natural designer on earth. If you look at the pictures below do not look perfect but enough to make us wonder why they made this extra configuration.


Structure of spider webs extra features or stabilimentum scientific name stabilimenta. This name was taken by accident, and even appeared because of an error that is when researchers speculate that this pattern intended to make a cobweb stable. This theory was later disproved.

It seems the function of this extra pattern can vary. The spider was building his own pattern many times perhaps to ten times. Some of them make this pattern does not come from his own net but from what remains of it, including from the former their own eggs or anything that is near the net.

This pattern of extra nets can be found among some species of spiders - but the best example is that of Argiope species. This extra patterns, often almost mathematical precision with 45-degree angle, it seems made for "explore" so their bodies do not make it more attractive predator. Sometimes this leads to a vertical pattern and spider younger may make it shaped like a disc.


Answering the question why these extra patterns made seems to be not simple. Some consider it provides extra protection because it makes the spider appear larger or as camouflage. Or instead make it more visible than the net itself that make it more easily seen by the example of birds. More like "stop sign" to other animals.


Later it is mentioned that more stabilimenta used to attract prey spider. Often seen insects gather at night near lights? Extra patterns spider webs are believed to be capable of reflecting ultraviolet rays so that more meanrik prey to approach the net.



Thermoregulation, this theory says that this extra pattern helps the spider maintain optimal body temperature to survive in any weather.


There is also a mention that the spider has aesthetic - like human beings also have aesthetic - as well as other animals shown to improve the surrounding environment to pursue something.



It might, reproductive urge is the reason why this extra pattern is made. When a female is ready to reproduce, let alone how better to attract the males than beautify the web?

This extra patterns are made mostly of his own net in addition to several types combine it with any object nearby. In Nephila species, the remains of prey, too attached to this pattern is more interesting purpose other prey again.




Whatever the reason, this show out there there are many natural wonders we realize that not happen every day. Even small animals do we almost never notice.
