Animals can sense earthquakes, true or tale? How can we explain about unusual animal behavior prior to a significant earthquake? 

The earliest reference we have to unusual animal behavior prior to a significant earthquake is from Greece in 373 BC. Rats, weasels, snakes, and centipedes reportedly left their homes and headed for safety several days before a destructive earthquake. Anecdotal evidence abounds of animals, fish, birds, reptiles, and insects exhibiting strange behavior anywhere from weeks to seconds before an earthquake. However, consistent and reliable behavior prior to seismic events, and a mechanism explaining how it could work, still eludes us. Most, but not all, scientists pursuing this mystery are in China or Japan. Learn more about science facts via our articles.

 

We can easily explain the cause of unusual animal behavior seconds before humans feel an earthquake. Very few humans notice the smaller P wave that travels the fastest from the earthquake source and arrives before the larger S wave. But many animals with more keen senses are able to feel the P wave seconds before the S wave arrives. As for sensing an impending earthquake days or weeks before it occurs, that's a different story.

A once popular theory purported that there was a correlation between Lost Pet ads in the San Jose Mercury News and the dates of earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area. A thorough statistical analysis of this theory, published in California Geology in 1988, concluded that there was no such correlation, however.

Another paper published in a scientific journal in the U.S. on this subject by a respected scientist in 2000 is summarized here... That might be one of the most awesome animals facts you had no idea before.

The paper poses this question: Is it reasonable for a seismic-escape behavior pattern to evolve, and can such a genetic system be maintained in the face of selection pressures operating on the time scales of damaging seismic events? All animals instinctively respond to escape from predators and to preserve their lives. A wide variety of vertebrates already express “early warning” behaviors that we understand for other types of events, so it’s possible that a seismic-escape response could have evolved from this already-existing genetic predisposal. An instinctive response following a P-wave seconds before a larger S wave is not a “huge leap”, so to speak, but what about other precursors that may occur days or weeks before an earthquake that we don’t yet know about? If in fact there are precursors to a significant earthquake that we have yet to learn about (such as ground tilting, groundwater changes, electrical or magnetic field variations), indeed it’s possible that some animals could sense these signals and connect the perception with an impending earthquake.

However, much research still needs to be done on this subject. The author suggests establishing a baseline behavior pattern that can be compared with reactions of various environmental stimuli, and then testing various potential stimuli in the laboratory. Of course, the presence of these stimuli still needs to be researched with regard to precursory phenomena preceding an earthquake, for if these signals aren’t present in the environment before an earthquake, a connection is irrelevant. Check out my list of fun, weird and just plain amazing fact of life I have found.

 Top Adorable Facts About Hamsters

Hamster Fact #1: Hamsters are “crepuscular”

This means that hamsters are not diurnal (active during the daytime, like humans), or nocturnal (active at night, like owls), but rather “crepuscular”, which means they are most active during the twilight hours.

 

Wild hamsters generally leave their burrows shortly before the sun goes down and return once it gets dark.

Hamster Fact #2: The largest type of hamster can grow to 13 inches (33cm) long

A type of hamster called the European Hamster is the largest of the hamster species. They can grow to an incredible 13 inches long! This might be one of the most interesting facts about them.

Hamster Fact #3: The smallest type of hamster is just 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10cm) long

Roborovski Dwarf hamsters are the smallest type of hamster. Adult Roborovski Dwarf hamsters sometimes grow to as little as 2 inches long.

Hamster Fact #4: Hamsters can store food in their cheeks, then eat it later!

If a hamster finds food but isn’t comfortable eating it in its current location (for example – if it feels vulnerable to predators) then it will store the food in its cheeks and run to a safe place before starting to eat.

Hamster Fact #5: There are five different hamster species often kept as pets

The five hamster species most commonly kept as pets are: Roborovski, Syrian, Campbell’s Dwarf, Chinese and Winter White Russian Dwarf hamsters.

Hamster Fact #6: Hamsters are omnivores

People often think that hamsters are vegetarian, but they’re actually omnivores. In the wild, hamsters have been known to hunt and eat insects. Find out more about what hamsters eat.

Hamster Fact #7: Hamsters can live for up to 4 years.

The average hamster life span is around 2 to 2.5 years. However, Roborovski hamsters often live to over 3 years, and 4 year old hamsters are rare but not unheard of. Find out more about the hamster life span. Let’s discover some interesting science facts that will amaze you.

Hamster Fact #8: Hamsters are born blind

Hamster babies (known as ‘pups’) cannot open their eyes until around two weeks after birth.

Hamster Fact #9: Hamster’s incisor teeth never stop growing

Have you ever wondered why hamsters like to chew things so much? It’s because their front teeth (their incisors) never stop growing! If your hamster didn’t chew on things then its teeth would grow so long that it would struggle to open its mouth to eat properly.

Hamster Fact #10: Hamsters can have up to 24 babies at a time!

Hamsters breed in the spring and summer and will produce several litters per year. The average litter size is around 7 pups (babies), however, it is possible for some hamsters to have up to 24 pups in one litter!

Are you bored? Let’s have a quick look at our funny images that are bound to bring smile on your face.

Below are some amazing news and facts about Badgers you had no idea about

1. THEY'RE MUSTELIDS.

They're related to weasels, ferrets, otters, and wolverines. Even though Mustelidae are classed as carnivores (they're actually the largest family in the order Carnivora), badgers are in fact omnivores.

2. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN HOMES AND THEIR OWN FAMILIES.

Badgers live in underground burrow systems called "setts." On average, about six badgers live in one sett, although some setts can hold more than twice that amount. Setts can be centuries old, serving as homes for multiple badger generations. These burrows have separate "rooms" for sleeping and for giving birth. Did you enjoy these animal facts?

3. THEY RESPECT THEIR HOMES.

Badgers won't bring food into their sett, although they usually don't need to. Most of their food is on bushes immediately outside their homes. They also won't go to the bathroom in their sett. Instead, they use special communal latrines on the edge of their domain.

4. THEY LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Badger species found on the British Isles have been there for at least 250,000 years, but some scientists say they could have been around for as long as 400,000 years.

5. PLEASE LEAVE THEM ALONE.

The United Kingdom passed the Protection of Badgers Act in 1992. This law made it illegal to hurt or kill them, and was written in response to people trapping the animals for sport and killing them under the belief that they interfere with agriculture.

6. NO, SERIOUSLY. IT'S BEST NOT TO TOUCH THEM.

They do not like to be touched. You're likely to get bitten or attacked by their sharp claws. If they can use their claws to kill hedgehogs, they can hurt you too.

7. HONEY BADGERS AREN'T QUITE BADGERS.

You've probably seen the viral video, but if you haven't or you just want a 2011 throwback, it's here. (There's foul language galore, FYI.) Honey badgers aren't necessarily considered "true" badgers, but they are fellow mustelids and look to be more closely related to weasels.

Badger or not, they are plenty fierce nonetheless. They eat venomous snakes and tear open beehives. They usually only attack humans if provoked, but they still can be pretty scary.

There exists a lot of amazing creatures in our world that are bound to make you surprise. Do you want to check out our long and rich source of tigers facts in your spare time?

8. J.K. ROWLING IS A FAN.

At Hogwarts, badgers represent the Hufflepuff house, and Rowling recently described badgers as mystical. (Somewhat related bonus fact: Apparently, Hufflepuffs were almost bears.)

9. BADGERS WERE TOO MUCH FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.

In 1948, the University of Wisconsin used a real badger for its mascot at football games. It proved difficult to control however, and was eventually replaced with Regdab ("badger" spelled backwards) the raccoon. The next year, students made a papier-mâché badger head for their mascot, and the rest is history.

10. YOU CAN GO BADGER WATCHING.

You can go by yourself, but it might be easier and safer to go with a badger watching group. Badgers can be fun to watch, just so long as you leave them alone.

Here are some amazing news and random facts about the speed of light - Science facts: 

The speed of light in a vacuum stands at exactly 299,792,458 metres per second. The reason today we can put an exact figure on it is because the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant that has been measured with lasers; and when an experiment involves lasers, it’s hard to argue with the results. As to why it comes out somewhat conspicuously as a whole number, this is no coincidence- the length of metre is defined using this constant: “the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.”

Prior to a few hundred years ago, it was generally agreed or at least assumed that the speed of light was infinite, when in actuality it’s just really, really, really fast, for reference, the lightspeed is just slightly slower than the fastest thing in the known universe, a teenage girl’s response time if Justin Bieber were to say on Twitter, “The first to reply to this tweet will be my new girlfriend.”

The first known person to question the whole “speed of light is infinite” thing was the 5th century BC philosopher Empedocles. Less than a century later, Aristotle would disagree with Empedocles and the argument continued for more than 2,000 years after.

funny images

One of the first prominent individuals to actually come up with a tangible experiment to test whether light had a speed was Dutch Scientist, Isaac Beeckman in 1629. Despite living in a time before lasers- which gives me the chills just thinking about- Beeckman understood that, lacking lasers, the basis of any good scientific experiment should always involve explosions of some kind; thus, his experiment involved detonating gunpowder.

Beeckman placed mirrors at various distances from the explosion and asked observers whether they could see any difference in when the flash of light reflected from each mirror reached their eyes. As you can probably guess, the experiment was “inconclusive”.

A similar more famous experiment that didn’t involve explosions was possibly conducted or at the very least proposed by Galileo Galilei just under a decade later in 1638. Galileo, like Beeckman also suspected that the speed of light wasn’t infinite and made passing references to an experiment involving lanterns in some of his work. His experiment (if he ever conducted it at all), involved placing two lanterns a mile apart and trying to see if there was any noticeable lag between the two; the results were inconclusive. The only thing Galileo could surmise was that if light wasn’t infinite, it was fast and that experiments on such a small scale were destined to fail.

It wasn’t until Danish Astronomer, Ole Römer entered the fray that measurements of the speed of light got serious. In an experiment that made Galileo flashing lanterns on a hill look like a primary school science fair project, Römer determined that, lacking lasers and explosions, an experiment should always involve outer space. Thus, he based his observations on the movement of planets themselves, announcing his groundbreaking results on August 22, 1676.

What’s even more amazing is that the reason for Römer’s estimation being a little too slow is thought to have less to do with any mistake on his part and more to do with the science facts that the commonly accepted diameter of the Earth and Jupiter orbits were off when Römer did his calculations. Meaning yes, Römer was only wrong because other people weren’t as awesome at science as he was. In fact, if you slot the correct orbit numbers into what is thought to be his original calculations from reports before his papers were destroyed in the aforementioned fire, his estimation is nearly spot on.

So even though he was technically wrong and even though James Bradley came up with a more accurate number in 1729, Römer will go down in history as the guy who first proved that the speed of light was not infinite and worked out a reasonably accurate ballpark figure on what the exact speed was by observing the movements of a speck orbiting a giant ball of gas positioned about 780 million kilometres away. That right there ladies and gentlemen is how a badass, lacking lasers, does science.

Vitamin C is available in abundance in many natural sources, including fresh fruits and vegetables. Let's see to know where we can get vitamin C

Why do we need it? 

Vitamin C assists the body in its curing, rejuvenating tasks, like fending off infection, building collagen that supports skin structures, healing wounds, and repairing bones and teeth.

How much do we need? 

A balanced diet will provide most of the Vitamin C foods you need. Each day, men need about 90 mg of vitamin C, while women require 75 mg. Women who are lactating or pregnant will require more vitamin C.

Vitamin C sources

• Indian gooseberry (700 mg/100 g)
• citrus fruits, such as limes, oranges and lemons
• tomatoes and tomato juice
• potatoes
• green and red peppers
• kiwifruit, strawberries and cantaloupes
• green leafy vegetables such as broccoli
• fortified cereals

Vitamin C content in food is reduced by cooking, as well as during long periods of storage. Cooking losses may be lowered by steaming or microwaving. An adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables in raw form, which corresponds to 5 or more servings of different fruits and vegetables a day, usually supplies all the vitamin C that is needed.

Supplement

With all the great food sources which contain vitamin C, one must wonder why you would want to supplement. There doesn’t seem to be any need to, especially if consuming adequate amounts in the diet. Nonetheless, the vitamin C supplement market is booming, either with standalone products, or combination products with contain B vitamins and zinc, et al. There are many, many different forms of vitamin C available. Whether it is natural, synthetic, powder, tablet, with bioflavonoids, etc. The end result from all of these products? They all are just as effective. Any difference is marginal, and this intake should be secondary from food, regardless.

For men, 90 milligrams per day of vitamin C is all that is required. No more than that has been shown to be effective. For women, this dosage actually drops to 75 milligrams per day. This amount for either gender should easily be obtainable from food. Acquiring more than this is both unneeded and costly. If you’re looking to help with a cold, zinc would be your best bet.
