At some point inside of the following couple of decades, the landmass' frigid ocean will have sufficiently warmed (by around 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1 degree Celsius) to permit these titan crabs to move up onto the rack and begin eating up the echinoderms (a gathering that incorporates ocean stars and ocean urchins) and mollusks, (for example, shellfishes and mussels) that live there. "That is the thing…
15. The blanket octopus is not your ordinary octopus, they contain long webs connecting to their body. The females can grow as large as six feet while the males are only 5 centimeters in length. With the weight ratio to at least 10,000 to one, it sounds like mating should be fun. When the male finds a female octopus, he breaks off one of his arms and crawls inside her to store sperm, then swims off to die. Actually, that doesn’t sound very fun at all, but at least he got a happy ending, right?…

A fish, confined to the small waters of a round glass bowl, encompasses something much larger than itself. The same as a tiger, unrestrained, roaming the vast jungle. And the same as a human. Every living thing must meet some form of an end. Whether this pause is believed to be peaceful and positive or painful and agonizing is based upon experience; nevertheless, it is an inevitable limit that is one day attained by all. Siddhartha, a book of self discovery by author Hermann Hesse,…

I was in cub scouts when I was little and I have a lot of pretty good memories from it. I started cub scouts in 1st grade when I was six years old and was in it until the beginning of third grade when I was eight years old. I was in two different, “packs,” when I was in cub scouts one in Illinois and one in Washington state. In Illinois I was a tiger scout which is also the lowest rank in cub scouts. I competed in my first pine wood derby that year and I came second in my division to Joey Harmon…
