Hey, welcome to another series on 10 mins of useless animals information

People who come from different areas around the world tend to speak with Accents, fluctuations, and patterns that are specific to their home regions. Apparently, the same can be said for whales. We have found evidence that seems to show whales in the Caribbean have a different "accent" than whales in other oceans.

The ocean is vast and has many weird creatures, some a little more than weird than others like the starfish,

If a starfish is split into five pieces, so long as each piece contains part of the central disc, then the five starfish will survive.

Also Starfish have no brains and no blood. And they ain't even a fish, Instead they are echinoderm which are closely related to sea urchin

Now, Starfishes aren't the only weird aquatic creature, Jellyfish are quite weird too. Jellyfishes can evaporate in the sun as They’re made of 98% water. When they wash ashore, they can disappear after just a few hours, as their bodies promptly evaporates into the air.

When we think of camels on the other hand, we generally don't associate them with a lot of water and it's true they can stay for days without water infact during winters they can survive even upto 6 or 7 months without water but when

They do find a source of water, Camels will drink as much as 50 litres. They will even drink salty water, unlike other mammals.

In the desert, water sources are often a rare sight due to which some desert animals have learnt to adapt, Camels are definitely desert water warrior yet another such incredible animal is the meerkat, a small animal of the mongoose family, fully grown to be slightly less than a feet in height. Many would probably be familiar with Timon from the lion king, who's a meerkat. Being in the desert, these animals are able to survive without even drinking water, meerkats get the moisture they need from eating roots, some fruits and also insects.

Also, Meerkats are immune to and can handle bites from some types of venomous snakes. In some parts of the world, people prize mongooses as house guards because they can battle with deadly snakes, like cobras. If bitten they feel unwell for serval hours but make a full recovery.

Whereas for us humans on the other hand, The venom of the king cobra is so deadly that just one gram of it is enough to kill a person 150 times over.

Although humans often think of themselves as quite a lot more powerful than they are, for According to the survey carried out in the US by YouGov

23% of men think they could beat a king cobra in a fight

Also, seven per cent of men and eight per cent of women believe they could beat a lion in a fistfight.

We often underestimate the power of the wild but that's a bit too ambitious.

Also when it comes to under estimating,

Butterflies seem pretty delicate, don't they? Flitting here, flitting there in their gorgeous colours. What could be more delicate and fragile?

Appearances are often deceptive. The Painted Lady, for example, a species of butterfly who routinely migrates between southern Morocco and the Arctic Circle a round trip of about 17,000 kms.

This is an multigenerational journey of as many as six generations which is pretty amazing in itself. When you consider the sheer distance involved, those little fellows, weighing less than a gram, sustain flight at as much as 30mph for hour upon hour over sea, mountain and desert.

Butterflies are incredible. You would have as well probably heard of the so-called "butterfly effect," a bit of popularised science that suggests the minor flapping of a single butterfly's wings has the power to set off a string of escalating events that can lead to the formation of a hurricane.

Now to question - can a butterfly really cause a hurricane.

Well, No. That statement is not to be taken literally, it's more of a metaphor for how a minute localised change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.

There are plenty of animal myths but few actually have some logic behind them for instance

We have heard things like fake like crocodile tears .. But why do we say that. The term "crocodile tears" is derived from the ancient belief that crocodiles weep after killing their victims. But do they?

Yes, do they produce tears but that's only to lubricate their eyes.

In fact Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears.

And crocodiles being these brutal reptiles, it only makes sense to call them fake crocodile tears when they tear up after killing a prey.
