Snakes

Did you know that anacondas and pythons are the biggest snakes?

Both can reach a length of over 30 feet (9 meters). One python measuring 33 feet (10 meters) has been recorded. In 1944 an anaconda 37.5 feet long (11.4 meters) long was reported to have been shot. However, it recovered and escaped before it could be preserved.

Did you know that a bite from a cobra can kill a grown man in minutes?

Their venom is neurotoxic. Which means that it damages the nervous system, especially the optic and respiratory systems, causing blindness and breathing difficulty.

I learned these in my Science subject.

P.S.

Sea snakes use neurotoxin fifty times as deadly as the venom of the king cobra.

My workplace

 

 This is where I do my schoolwork everyday.

Here I am doing my work.

It's nothing special.

It's just a corner where I do my work.

This is also where I learn new things.

It's actually........really boring.

Hehe.

Sharks

Did you know that a shark does not have a single bone in its body?

• A shark does not have a single bone in its body, instead it has a skeleton made up of cartilage.

Other interesting facts about sharks:

• A shark can smell one drop of blood in a million drops of water.

• A particular shark, the Great White, has an enormous liver that can weigh up to 24 percent of its entire weight.
• A Shark can hear a fish in the water from more than a mile away.

• A shark's skin is covered by small, razor-sharp teeth called denticles. These can be removed from the shark's body. Once removed, the remaining skin is made into strong leather.
• The Whale Shark is the biggest fish in the world.
• The smallest shark is the Dwarf Lanternshark. They grow to a maximum of 17 centimeters.

• In one year, a single Great White consumes about 11 tons of food.

Old drawings

 Here are some of the drawing I drew in the past.

The Joker

Nightwing (Costume 1)

Wolverine (inked)

I used to draw comic style (American) drawings. But recently, I got interested in manga (Japanese) because a friend of mine draws manga style. So I decided to try it out. I'm still learning. While I'm doing that, I wanted to post something here in my blog, so I posted my old drawings. Here they are. Enjoy.

I'm sorry I haven't been very active here because I'm very busy with my school work, or very busy practicing my musical instruments, or I have nothing interesting to post at all. But I will still be able to do Bee Wise every Friday.

Bats

 

Did you know that there is only one mammal that can truly fly?

The bat is the only true flying mammal. It is a member of the mammalian order, Chiroptera, which has over 1, 100 species. Chiropterans, or bats, fly with wings of membrane stretched over elongated finger bones.

Did you know that bats can navigate in total darkness without the need to see?

Bats navigate by producing high-pitched sounds called echolocation and then listening for the echoes. Bats use their "earsight" to avoid flying into objects and to detect and capture insects.

Ocean depths...

Did you know that the deepest spot in the ocean is called the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific?

It is more than six miles deep (10 km). Sunlight never reaches the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The lack of the sun's warmth at that depth causes the temperature of water to be just above the freezing point (37.4 degrees Fahrenheit).

Creatures that live in the deep blue sea.

 The Giant Isopod

 and The Anglerfish








Did you know that no mountain on Earth is as high as the ocean is deep?

If the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, could be lowered to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the top of the mountain would still be one mile beneath the ocean's surface. It's that deep!

 

Here is a picture of Mount Everest.
