Later Alligator

  So,  we have a family thing to watch one movie once a week as a family movie time. Last week we watched Crawl a 2019 horror adventure. And gosh!   I found it thrilling unlike my family. They found it disturbing ,scary and mostly creepy. Well.... That was the whole point. However, this was just a movie, mostly CGI. But imagine.. being face to face with this killing machine, definately amazing but super dangerous.  Made its biggest home to USA, widely in Florida and louisiana. Around 1 million American alligators live in Florida alone. Alongside alligators it is also home to crocodiles.  Alligators and crocodiles belong to the same scientific order that is crocodylia but different families Alligators to Alligatordae and Crocodiles to Crocodylidae. A very easy way to identify them is to look at their differences. Like the very big difference is their jaw and teeths.  Alligators have wider, U-shaped snout. The teeths of the lower jaw fits in the gaps of the u...

Freeze To Live?

ALASKA Alaska embedded in natural beauty is a state in United States, On the extreme border of US.   Alaska has arctic climate which means that the winters are long and very cold and the summers are short and cold. The sun does not rise during some weeks in winters, and is out 24/7 in some weeks in summers. In this extremely chilling climate, the sun becomes a luxury. It becomes super difficult to live, where as humans use fire to keep themselves warm as a surviving skill. What do animals do? Surely they have adapted ,but how some have layers of fur / feathers, but do all? What do you think? What kind of creatures can live in this cold ,freezing climate? Bear, beaver, cave lion, reindeer, ............,moose ,fox ,bison ,ox ,frog. Frog? Yeah you heard it right a frog known as  a wood frog, an Alaskan wood frog.

This reminds me of a creature that is actually known as "Dumbo". Grimpoteuthis is a genus of pelagic citrate octopoda known as Dumbo octopus, the name "Dumbo" comes  from the resemblance to a character from Disney's movie Dumbo, having ears like fin. There are 17 species recognised in the genus . The avarage lifespan of these species is 3 to 5 years.

Crystal jellyfish Ever heard of a floating chandelier in the very deeps of the ocean? Well..meet  crystal jellyfish. Its scientific name is Aequorea Victoria and it belongs to the Aequoreidae family, which includes more than 25 species. The common name of this jellyfish comes from its gelatinous and almost transparent appearance, similar to Crystal.

In addition to its transparency, it has hundreds of tentacles of different sizes. Although these appear delicate, they are much more resistant than those of other types of jellyfish.
