Photographs of funny animals today are a separate genre of photography, which literally conquered the Internet. And it seems that nothing can surprise people. However, every day, scientists make many amazing discoveries, most of which are in the world of flora and fauna, and the remainder is in understanding the physical properties of the unknown planet Earth.

A bull-climber in Hawaii has an extraordinary talent - he has the ability to climb a waterfall up to 100 meters in height with his mouth in the form of a suction cup.

Some sharks are viviparous creatures, while others are distinguished by their ability to lay eggs and therefore are called "mermaid's purse." The embryo inside the egg is a vulnerable and defenseless creature. However, the embryo of a bamboo shark is distinguished by its special ability: it senses the electric field of its enemy, which allows it to “freeze” and prevent it from being noticed.

The researchers concluded that the spiders that eat bats live on all continents, not counting Antarctica. The species of spiders that weave webs, namely araneomorphic spiders and tarantulas, love to feast on young bats. This prompted scientists to think about how widespread this phenomenon is throughout the world. After studying the analysis of scientific reports over the past hundred years, scientists came to the conclusion that about 50 cases of eating bats by spiders were recorded throughout the world. Mostly mice became prey for spiders in countries with hot climates and in the tropics.

Scientists have registered an unusual pregnancy of a blunt shark, which was caught on the shore of Florida. One of the embryos that were inside her womb had two heads. This ugliness could occur when the embryo began its division into two parts, thus forming twins. However, at some point, the division failed. In the wild, this cub could not survive.

Butterflies in the Amazon rainforest have found a way to survive. Sitting on the shell of a river Amazon turtle, butterflies drink tears from their eyes. This allows you to replenish the lack of minerals in their body. Since salt is scarce in the eastern part of the Amazon, bees and butterflies have to make up for it in this way.

Orchid mantis, like many other insects, is able to mimic this harmless flower. However, unlike other insects that disguise themselves as predators, the mantis is a predator, and due to its floral imitation, it attracts prey in the form of bees and butterflies. Scientists concluded that the mantis is the only insect that mimics a flower in order to attract prey.
