Owls don't have eyeballs.



                                                 What they have instead are better
                                                 described as eye tubes. Since they can't
                                                 move these tubes back and forth, owls

                                                 have developed incredible neck flexibility
                                                 to be able to see the world around them.

                                                 They can turn their heads a whopping 270
                                                 degrees, whereas humans can only
                                                 manage about 180. As a result, owls have

                                                 a special blood vessel system in their
                                                 heads to keep fresh blood circulating to

                                                 the brain when a quick head turn cuts off
                                                 circulation.




                                                       Heat is the deadliest weather
                                                       condition.

     Tornadoes, hurricanes, and
     flooding can devastate entire towns

     at once, but the weather condition
     that proves deadliest to humans is
     actually heat. Looking at

     the numbers from the past 30
     years, tornadoes caused an average

     of 70 deaths a year and flooding an
     average of 81, but heat caused an
     average of 130 deaths a year. If you

     don't have access to air
     conditioning or sufficient water,

     excessive heat can be deadly.

     percent of the Earth's oxygen. the ones that produce the vast

                                                        atmosphere: 50 to 85 percent to
                                                        be exact. Though they're too small

                                                        to see without a microscope, they
                                                        live in the upper layers of water
                                                        and use the same method plants

                                                        sunlight into energy, creating

                                                        oxygen in the process.
