Unique Facts: All About Animals
1. If we're talking about the fastest animal on Earth, then we often associate with acheetah , a species of big cats that live on the plains of Africa. Presumably this cat speed range in a 70 mph (114 km / h). However, do you know that the fastest animal is actually held by a bird called The Peregrine Falcon ( Falco Peregrinus) with speed ever recorded was 390 km / h (242.3 mph)! Compare with the highest speed ever achieved by a F1 racing car that only the range of 370 km / h (229mph)! Animals that have a population spread across the continents except Antarctica are threatened with extinction due to start where they live habitat destruction by human activity.
2. Know the fish screen ( sailfish )? Fish are becoming a favorite among professional anglers are in fact still a mystery to the experts the field of marine biology. This is because the movement of the tasty flesh of fish is very fast and the level of displacement (migration) is very high. In addition, fish that have a Latin name Istiophorus albicans (for that was in the Pacific Ocean) and Istiophorus platypterus (for those living in the Atlantic Ocean) are scattered hundreds of miles from shore. So it is very difficult for experts to find their exact location, do the tagging (penomeran), as well as data collection. But recent research suggests that these fish are really 'quick'. Believe it not, 36 hours after laying, the eggs hatch immediately! Not only that, their bodies are growing very fast, about 6 feet per year!
3. Let's talk about a strongest animal in the world . Speaking of animals, the strongest we often assume that the strongest animals elephants. But, you know that African elephants are only able to lift weights with the proportion of 25% of the total weight? Compare this to a rhinoceros beetle ( The rhinoceros beetle ) capable of carrying the load as much as 850 times the total weight! In other words, the proportion of body weight, the elephant is still inferior to human beings capable of lifting loads up to 10 times their weight, even more.
4. Camel bird ( Ostrich ) not just any bird. Height can reach 2.5 meters and weigh 180 kg.In addition to large, Birds Camels also have exceptional durability. This bird can survive at temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius until a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. He's also fairly long, can reach about 50 years of age. Even so, even in such large birds Camel, expenses for meals, Birds Camels only reached approximately U.S. $ 75 a year. Generally the only difficulty in maintaining bird cages Camel is a problem. Required a wide area, and fenced. The problem is, once an ostrich ran out of the fence, you need a car to catch up and catch it, because the Birds Camels can run up to speeds of 50 km / hour!
5. According to scientists, animal that has the loudest voice is the fish blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ), who also holds the title as the largest animal on earth. Blue whale sound louder than the voice of Harley Davidson motorcycles. Even harder than it sounds the loudest rock concert, and also louder than a bomb blast. How hard is the blue whale sounds? The sound is 188 decibels fish ..! This figure is equal to 1 million times the sound of jet engines (which reach 120-130 decibel loudness level). Keep in mind that the loudness level increases logarithmically. This means that every increase of 10 decibels means the sound intensity increases up to 10 times. This is one reason for us all to be thankful that the blue whale is just living in the sea, hehe ....
6.Want to know the vertebrate animals (vertebrates) the smallest in the world? Some kind of fish called a dwarf stout infantfish set as most small vertebrates and lightest in the world.Fish living in waters around the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, this length is only 7 millimeters! Actually, the fish from Australia that has a rival, which is a kind of fish that has a Latin name paedocypris progenetica found in peat swamps in Sumatra. The animal has a length of about 7.9 millimeters.
