One of the basic rules of
articles/posts/notes’ writing is that no author should write that way so that the
potential readers would feel stupid and incompetent. Probably some people would
be offended by this post/note of mine (if it shows their ignorance), but I hope
even they would agree such info could help anyone to discover the wonders of
our world, to correct some mistakes many of us do all the time, to change our
opinion about the “nasty” or “scary” creatures we come across every day. Being
graduated in biology, I couldn’t refrain from posting some of these facts, in
brief (I use many similar in some of my books too):
Plants are living beings, so they do
breathe as all the animals, though they “inhale” oxygen mostly in the daytime,
and “exhale” carbon dioxide in the night.
Chickens are the most common birds in
the world, not pigeons or sparrows, we could find them on almost every
continent, not in the coldest places only.
Whales and dolphins are not fish,
they are mammals and breathe air like every other terrestrial beings. The
easiest way to distinguish such sea mammals from fish would be to have a look
at their tails. All the modern sea mammals have horizontal tails, which are a
perfect tool to dive and come out to the surface to breathe air. Fish’s tails
are vertical.
To cut a worm in two pieces doesn’t
make two worms, though the creature regenerates. The part with the end
regenerates an end where it is cut, so soon after that it could not do all the
vital things which keep it alive.
Just because crocodiles live most of
the time in water doesn’t make them amphibians. They are reptiles, terrestrial
beings that like water. The best way to find out which element of nature is primal
for any species is to see where that species breed (so, crocodiles are
terrestrial, frogs are amphibian).
Spiders are not insects, thought they
are close-related. Insects are at a higher state of evolution, they have 6
legs, spiders have 8.
Birds hate to be touched and
caressed, as that way we usually ruffle their feathers (it takes a lot of time
to set them right, it seems). Yet, they all like to be touched and caressed on
the head, there and then the feeling is similar to the one they feel when they
scratch their heads with their claws.
Plesiosaurs and pterodactyls are not
dinosaurs, they belong to different groups, which are close to that of
dinosaurs, yet not exactly the same.
The adult moths don’t eat our
clothes, they don’t have a mouth or any digestive tract, their larvae are the
ones who we have to blame…
All the mosquitoes that bite us and
carry all those awful deceases are females; males eat nectar from flowers… etc.
