They're actually taking advantage of them. <br /> <br /> New York veterinarians gathered up data that showed that the death rate for cats falling from 2 - 6 stories was much higher than from 7 - 32 stories.<br /> <br /> Cats have a really keen sense of direction. When they're falling, they are able to tell which side is up really easily and position their body upright.<br /> <br /> This positioning helps them and allows them to land on all four legs. Not only just that, they also flex them on impact. This allows them to face the shock from the fall and prevent their legs from breaking.<br /> <b><br />Scientific Reason</b> : A cat when falling from a higher floor, after it stops accelerating, spreads its legs like an umbrella shape, which increases the area against which the air must push and increases the friction, thus slowing the cat’s fall. Through the cats has highly developed sense of balance, she buys more time to maneuver his body in preparation for landing on all fours. A cat falling from a lower height does not have the time to increase its body’s area, slow its fall, or position his body to land on all four feet.<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">[<a href="http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/cats2.asp" target="_blank">source</a><span style="font-size: small;">]</span> </span></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <br /></div> </div> </div> </div>

This finding pushes back the record of oldest arthropods preserved in amber by about 100 million years.</b><br /> Mites could give the competitors on Survivor a run for their game-show money.<br /> <br /> Two of the tiny creatures, trapped in fossilized tree resin, break the record for ancient amber-preserved arthropods, a group of critters that includes beetles, butterflies, spiders and shrimp. At 230 million years old, the mite fossils are about 100 million years older than previous findings and suggest that mites basic body blueprint may be built to outwit, outplay and outlast.<br /> <br /> David Grimaldi of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City says “Dinosaurs have come and gone, but mites have hardly changed,” says. “<i>Their body form is quite similar to what we see in gall mites today.”</i><br /> <br /> That similarity is somewhat surprising considering that the Earth was profoundly different 230 million years ago, when most plants were ferns, the Atlantic Ocean didn’t exist and pterosaurs cruised the skies. The Triassic-period mites, however, look just like their present-day relatives : They have segmented bodies, piercing mouthparts and legs bristling with “featherclaws,” Grimaldi and his colleagues report online August 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<br /> <br /> Arthropods are the most diverse group of creatures on Earth, making up more than 50 percent of all known species. They’re one of the key lineages of life, says Engel. “Anything we can do to better understand what led to their successes and failures can tell us how they shaped the planet in the past and how they’re shaping the planet today,” he says.<br /> <div class="MsoNoSpacing"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNoSpacing"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[<a href="http://www.sciencenews.org/" target="_blank">source</a>] </span></span></span></div> </div> </div> </div>

Since then, extreme ironing has developed into a sport that has attracted and give attention around the world. Shaw came home from what he recalls as a hard day in a Leicester knitwear factory. Preferring the idea of an evening out rock climbing, he decided to combine the two activities and convert it into a new extreme sport. <br /> <br /> <br /> In June 1999, Shaw, who uses the nickname "Steam", embarked on an international tour to promote the activity. The stops included United States, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. An encounter with German tourists in New Zealand led to the formation of a group called "Extreme Ironing International" and the German Extreme Ironing Section (GEIS).<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtOEk4wdyIyodzUylaEWHZCrFXKEc60WWT_ryvqWhYf6N5uRxLocui0avn8XXNCsm6byuYv3OEdPPyxQHifxjCKcDcnX8vLLz6Q-xHa6qk6qVlScspkiKAEHyUPFun5TafC66yoIf-tbV/s1600/379.jpg" rel="lightbox[1]" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Unusual Competition of Extreme Ironing"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRtOEk4wdyIyodzUylaEWHZCrFXKEc60WWT_ryvqWhYf6N5uRxLocui0avn8XXNCsm6byuYv3OEdPPyxQHifxjCKcDcnX8vLLz6Q-xHa6qk6qVlScspkiKAEHyUPFun5TafC66yoIf-tbV/s400/379.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.vyperlook.com/" target="_blank">photo credit</a></span></span></div> </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> The "sport" gained international attention after a documentary entitled Extreme Ironing : Pressing for Victory, was produced for Britain's Channel 4 by Wag TV and From then it becomes the unusual competition of Extreme Ironing.<br /> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">  <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/" target="_blank">source</a>]</span></span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

After about 40 minutes, the time it takes for water to reach the bladder, researchers tested the subject’s self control. Participants were asked to make eight choices: each was between receiving instant gratification versus a larger but deferred, reward. For example, in one scenario they could opt for picking up $16 the next day or $30 in 35 days. The people with full bladders were more likely to opt for the larger rewards later. Other experiments backed up the link. "You seem to make better decisions when you have a full bladder," said lead researcher Mirjam Tuk, of the University of Twente in the Netherlands</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> Tuk's hypothesis about full bladder prompting better decisions is that, because feelings of inhibition all originate from the same area of the brain—self-control in one area can affect self-control in others.

Infarction of the pons and medulla oblongata in the brain may cause pathological laughter. Laughter can cause atonia and collapse which in turn can cause trauma.<br /> <br /> Fatal hilarity is death as a result of laughter. In the third century B.C. the Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter after seeing a donkey eating figs. On 24 March 1975 Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old bricklayer from King's Lynn, England, literally <b>died laughing while watching an episode of The Goodies.</b> According to his wife, who was a witness, Mitchell was unable to stop laughing whilst watching a sketch in the episode "Kung Fu Kapers" in which Tim Brooke-Taylor, dressed as a kilted Scotsman, used a set of bagpipes to defend himself from a psychopathic black pudding in a demonstration of the Scottish martial art of "Hoots-Toot-ochaye". After twenty-five minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally slumped on the sofa and expired from heart failure. His widow later sent the Goodies a letter thanking them for making Mitchell's final moments so pleasant. In 1410, King Martin of Aragon died from a combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughter.So there are so many cases of death from extreme laugh.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #0b5394;">"Laugh but Don't Laugh Too Much It can Kill you" </span></div> <br /></div> </div> </div>

It has a location in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas.

Signs in the proximity warn that deadly force and violence is quite permissible to prevent intruders. Someone seems very keen to keep other people out. The roads surrounding the area are guarded by white vehicles bearing government plates. They are manned by men wearing black uniforms who appear to be heavily armed. Moreover, the roads are full of movement sensors which transmit any movement on the roads. All this does not seem to point to a conventional firing range.<br /> <br /> One theory would have it that the area is a research center for investigating UFOs and for manufacturing the infamous black helicopters. Certainly, UFOs would need to be taken somewhere for investigation, such as in the aftermath of the Roswell incident. Of course, the American government could also be trying to reproduce the technology gleaned from the alien spacecraft here.<br /> <br /> An even more disturbing possibility is that some form of alien life is being kept alive in the area, retrieved from their spacecraft. Who knows what happened to the alien bodies after Roswell? If this is the case, it would seem that the authorities are sitting on a time bomb.<br /> <br /> There is some danger in this, because if you wander across the unfenced military border, you could be arrested and fined $600.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1NCUidFzcgeuup3ek2ffB48kqWInzk4Bb5N1ovUA0wuEa3QQiL3E7ZhkoX_-eQiuLXRuQ_kC-1-FHsgiatMFJqRL_YuxTZqwKMbB82U4h6XZUWtfwxiGYXpxe2b98yJ58ac0gg-eTktlQ/s1600/308.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1NCUidFzcgeuup3ek2ffB48kqWInzk4Bb5N1ovUA0wuEa3QQiL3E7ZhkoX_-eQiuLXRuQ_kC-1-FHsgiatMFJqRL_YuxTZqwKMbB82U4h6XZUWtfwxiGYXpxe2b98yJ58ac0gg-eTktlQ/s400/308.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Evidence :</b></span></span> A gentleman by the name of Bob Lazar claims he worked with extraterrestrial flying saucers at an installation at Papoose Lake, south of Groom Lake in an area he calls S-4.

Apple-1 with the tagline 'Byte into an Apple' was the first personal computer to be released by Apple which was designed and hand built by Wozniak. It was sold for $666.66.<br /> <br /> 4. When apple was new a lot of companies made copies of the products and named them with similar fruit name, e.g. Pineapple.<br /> <br /> 5.

Before coming up with the name iPod, Steve had already decided its tagline as “1,000 songs in your pocket” Giving copywriter Vinnie Chieco complete freedom to come up with a name. When Chieco saw the prototype he instantly thought of the movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey and phrase “Open the pod bay door Hal!” symbolizing spaceship's relationship with small independent pods (personal computer and music player), Chieco just added an 'i' to the pod.<br /> <div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_f3c5ynUFupIKcAqv_950rMJpya8VRVb2nZ7U3SNJCUbvj_fv4XXgMdOLPOLyOIXOFRRiLwHz5VSJLAVq4bNIeBhu9rjG7ASx_aJ-Kii5HGGfgzyolmL7twXTB5GQwlsaz08okxwvX-O9/s1600/275.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_f3c5ynUFupIKcAqv_950rMJpya8VRVb2nZ7U3SNJCUbvj_fv4XXgMdOLPOLyOIXOFRRiLwHz5VSJLAVq4bNIeBhu9rjG7ASx_aJ-Kii5HGGfgzyolmL7twXTB5GQwlsaz08okxwvX-O9/s320/275.jpg" width="218" /></a></div> <br /> 9.

A mind forever voyaging though strange seas of thought . . .alone.” Jobs thought the logo was “too cerebral” and a single apple was chosen with a bite (byte), partly to prevent it from looking like a cherry tomato.<br /> <br /> <br /> 10. The first graphical image ever displayed on a Mac prototype was a picture of the Scrooge McDuck playing the fiddle while sitting on some money bags.  [<a href="http://www.e-junkie.info/2011/09/25-fun-facts-about-apple-inc-and-steve.html" target="_blank">source</a>]</div> </div> </div>

Shortly afterwards, small warts sprouted around the wound, which eventually spread to his feet and hands.<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>As he grew older, his warts continued to grow. Eventually the sheer number and size of them meant that his ability to carry out his job as a tradesman suffered and though the warts didn’t hurt or itch, they gave off a sickening odour. At the age of 28, Dede’s wife of 10 years left him as he became unable to work to support her and their two children.<br /> <br /> Dede ended up travelling with a circus to earn a living.

There are around 200 known types of HPV, but the majority have no noticeable affect. In rare instances, it can lead to certain forms of cancer but the most common result of an HPV infection is your simple, everyday wart.<br /> <br /> According to the leader of the team which treated Dede at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung, “he is like an HIV patient, but he is negative.

If you’ve ever wondered why Usain Bolt still beats the top sprinters in the world then let science explain it to you. Bolt's name is apt. The 25-year-old athlete is almost unbelievably fast. At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the three-time gold medalist dashed this event in just 9.69 seconds, and at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, he shaved a tenth of a second off this time, setting a new world record of 9.58 seconds.</div> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b><br />Click To Enlarge </b></u></span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0CGsfHSLUsRlNHqkJfC_c4fDqTXDGW-j7n6UQm_gSpAKwxQTCYgtJ_Z6g-ytXGxfGF2A8DtRtMnf-y_HJSZmPZk-fHRhw5vHPbILB67FRbHlJyzd0RS8UVTWhZTNWw-qdLv3TGLrMumhx/s1600/237.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="387" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0CGsfHSLUsRlNHqkJfC_c4fDqTXDGW-j7n6UQm_gSpAKwxQTCYgtJ_Z6g-ytXGxfGF2A8DtRtMnf-y_HJSZmPZk-fHRhw5vHPbILB67FRbHlJyzd0RS8UVTWhZTNWw-qdLv3TGLrMumhx/s640/237.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <br /> The secret to Bolt's speed lies in his height and his strength, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology mechanical engineer Anette Hosoi.<br /> <br /> " Usain Bolt is unique in that somehow, he is able to get both top acceleration and maintain top speed," Hosoi said, in an interview with the National Science Foundation (NSF). At 6 feet 5 inches tall (196 centimeters), Bolt is taller than his competition on the track. His long legs enable him to glide farther with every step. The 100-meter dash takes most sprinters an average of 44 steps to run. Bolt has to take only 41 steps.</div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBG9Y9slziKB5SIkY8-euO3dq0zUIyTkbLHUoAN0w0o5v1EZ19jeZsdgW-j4Qs3e_AuCLpb6xy_t1KHfmK0t0vK6uj89uF8yWEVmRF2blII6TLpE0Hi5Yi7iP-eFseQZReNBL7twENCjs1/s1600/238.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBG9Y9slziKB5SIkY8-euO3dq0zUIyTkbLHUoAN0w0o5v1EZ19jeZsdgW-j4Qs3e_AuCLpb6xy_t1KHfmK0t0vK6uj89uF8yWEVmRF2blII6TLpE0Hi5Yi7iP-eFseQZReNBL7twENCjs1/s640/238.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> But along with Bolt's extra height, he also has more mass to move than other sprinters. To do this, he needs strength, which means lots of time in the weight room. The final ingredient, said Stanford University engineer Samuel Hamner, is coordination.<br /> <br /> "If you're off by a few milliseconds when you're generating these forces you'll fall over or you'll injure yourself," Hamner told the NSF. "So it takes precise timing of the electrical signal that comes from your brain to your muscle to create that force."<br /> <br /> Bolt has strong competition for the title of fastest man in the world this year, because fellow countryman Yohan Blake won both the 100- and 200-meter races at the Jamaican Olympic trials. His personal best in the 100-meter sprint is 9.75 seconds.<br /> [<a href="http://www.zimbio.com/Usain+Bolt/articles/yVMb8jNcuOe/Amazing+Science+Behind+Usain+Bolt+Blazing">source</a>] </div> </div> </div>

This hole is being drilled for scientific study purposes and is currently over 12,200 meters deep. The project attempted to drill as deep as possible into the Earth's crust. Drilling began on 24 May 1970 using the Uralmash-4E, and later the Uralmash-15000 series drilling rig.<br /> <br /> The Kola borehole penetrated about a third of the way through the Baltic continental crust, estimated to be around 35 kilometres (22 mi) deep, reaching rocks of Archaean age (greater than 2.5 billion years old) at the bottom. In 1926, Harold Jeffreys hypothesized that a transition zone within the crust, identifiable on seismic records as a “jump” in seismic velocity, could be attributed to a change in rock type from granite to a denser basalt. Then deepest hole in the world being drilled at the Kola well has now penetrated about halfway through the crust of the Baltic continental shield, exposing rocks 2.7 billion years old at the bottom. One of the more fascinating scientific findings to emerge from this well is that the change in the seismic velocities was not found at a boundary marking but it was at the bottom of a layer of metamorphic rock that extended from about 3.5 to about 9.8 km beneath the surface. Free water should not be found at these depths. This could only mean that water which had originally been a part of the chemical composition of the rock minerals themselves had been forced out and prevented from rising by a cap of impermeable rock.<br /> <br /> This discovery has an great impact on geophysical sciences and there is a potential economic impact. This water is very highly mineralized, and is a primary concentrating agent for most ore deposits. The technology for mining at these depths is not yet available. Their chief innovation was that, instead of turning the drill bit by rotating the stem, in the Kola well the bit alone was turned by the flow of drilling mud.<br /> <br /> As drilling continues at the deepest hole in the world many scientists are hoping for additional discoveries and a greater understanding of the inner workings and makeup of our planet.</div> [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole">source</a>]</div> </div> </div> </div>

It is also known as the Typical Girdled Lizard, Armadillo Girdled Lizard, Golden Armadillo Lizard, and Armadillo Spiny-tailed Lizard. The nostrils of the Armadillo Lizard are formed into the little tubes. This tubes help the Armadillo Lizards smell for food or predators. Its size ranges from 16 to 21 cm (6½ to 8½ in) in length. It grows up to 12 centimeters snout-to-vent length. The head of the Armadillo Lizard is narrow in shape. It is fairly slow moving animal, but when the Armadillo Lizard thinks or knows it's in danger, it runs as fast as it can go for cover. It can be found in pet stores and it is quite easy to breed in captivity. It lives in social groups of up to 30 to 60, but usually fewer. The Armadillo Lizard has its babies in the late summer. Only 1 or 2 babies are born during that time. When the lizards give birth, the babies are live-born, but do have a thin membranous shell that they need to break through. In the wild its most common prey items are the termites Microhodotermes viator and Hodotermes mossambicus.<br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVvUoy4m6-9JyyIgXWpm02-YMehtc27yEAyHktaCFxeq2HPToGMp4sCQLELaxuH7A2qYfbCZ5K_5kj7r6BT1Tgu8xHG4Z6YkiWILJwPv2gPBU72F4M3W9qAlE2ERPykVydEzO71du1qlW/s1600/203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDVvUoy4m6-9JyyIgXWpm02-YMehtc27yEAyHktaCFxeq2HPToGMp4sCQLELaxuH7A2qYfbCZ5K_5kj7r6BT1Tgu8xHG4Z6YkiWILJwPv2gPBU72F4M3W9qAlE2ERPykVydEzO71du1qlW/s320/203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgfmYMm3BdPtudlOv-7iPaNGVH_nAJ-a01PslxkNYqUuJjP82CsB60bMuQl9TtKoVVeXlMRj6irg2ay9DLg1cLhvuf7NoBW2Us_FPrRh9xlK-PBWGndayqm_wm2ipwm4HokpT_Jel-iSP/s1600/204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMgfmYMm3BdPtudlOv-7iPaNGVH_nAJ-a01PslxkNYqUuJjP82CsB60bMuQl9TtKoVVeXlMRj6irg2ay9DLg1cLhvuf7NoBW2Us_FPrRh9xlK-PBWGndayqm_wm2ipwm4HokpT_Jel-iSP/s320/204.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPW3v61fTiAjpzg-1TzuJOulSC0bNx8e7ZRRc-wh7pU7PS-eKoytQm3vUZi13-jqE4tLThTLaSmysLXQ3my-2QJI8hCAH3C610yLlM6pIOavCjTWbbDUbezUYPgrB8mukUEht8TUQ7h8Sr/s1600/205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPW3v61fTiAjpzg-1TzuJOulSC0bNx8e7ZRRc-wh7pU7PS-eKoytQm3vUZi13-jqE4tLThTLaSmysLXQ3my-2QJI8hCAH3C610yLlM6pIOavCjTWbbDUbezUYPgrB8mukUEht8TUQ7h8Sr/s320/205.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEuKtIRrG9WiJM8G9SPHc8rkX6NFRkoFgAMzZFCDNyCykdCtK0L7MNtZeeDZZ8hkHOiWOxsaQVv9CtNLFR2Tl4ODKiRFjDzLEG43BYw2og2bKiVlUNEY4Afc-zKP1HA1vzAJUxdlJi3BFL/s1600/206.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEuKtIRrG9WiJM8G9SPHc8rkX6NFRkoFgAMzZFCDNyCykdCtK0L7MNtZeeDZZ8hkHOiWOxsaQVv9CtNLFR2Tl4ODKiRFjDzLEG43BYw2og2bKiVlUNEY4Afc-zKP1HA1vzAJUxdlJi3BFL/s320/206.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6OCk_xF7x0Hmhgf_P4MN1Xih-r_617-p0p7CY84JXzJcHavM8PpqA6U8k-W1tEC0G45OPT5rqtPv-Q89Piu-vBx4MdzxG0l5CgayEQoNAslJFD5kWuwB4Eu0vLnv_4J8xQ2o9vWRBK2G9/s1600/207.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6OCk_xF7x0Hmhgf_P4MN1Xih-r_617-p0p7CY84JXzJcHavM8PpqA6U8k-W1tEC0G45OPT5rqtPv-Q89Piu-vBx4MdzxG0l5CgayEQoNAslJFD5kWuwB4Eu0vLnv_4J8xQ2o9vWRBK2G9/s320/207.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <i><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>Uncommon Behaviour</b></span> : The Armadillo Lizard possesses an uncommon antipredator adaptation, in which it takes its tail in its mouth and rolls into a ball when frightened.
