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.
Tiny sea-dwelling creatures
The ocean produces up to 85 called phytoplankton are actually
percent of the Earth's oxygen. the ones that produce the vast
majority of the oxygen in our
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
do—photosynthesis—to convert
sunlight into energy, creating
oxygen in the process.
