Cute Giant Panda Facts

-
Giant pandas are some of the most beloved animals to walk this earth. They are often seen in movies, advertisements, and coloring books. Adults and children alike own giant panda stuffed toys and rush to the panda exhibit whenever they visit a zoo. However, despite their popularity, giant pandas are incredibly endangered. Below are a number of cute facts about these amazing animals!
1. The lifespan of pandas in the wild is approximately 20 years. However, in captivity, they can live to be 25-30 years old.
2. The giant panda has been on the endangered species list since 1990. The most significant threat to them are poaching and habitat destruction.
3. Pandas have always been a symbol of peace in China. For example, centuries ago, warring tribes would raise a flag with a panda on it to stop a battle or call a truce.
4. With just over 1,000 left in the world, giant pandas are on the brink of extinction. Scientists are hoping to increase the wild panda population to 5,000 by 2025.
5. Pandas can stand upright, but their short hind legs aren’t strong enough to support their hefty bodies. A panda’s bones are twice as heavy as the bones of other animals the same size.
6. Pandas cannot run fast – a slow trot is as fast as they go. The fastest bear is the black bear, which can run at 35 miles per hour, which is just as fast as a horse or deer.
7. Female pandas ovulate once a year. They are fertile only two or three days of the year. 
8. Pandas have been on Earth from two to three million years.
9. A panda spends 14-16 hours a day eating bamboo.
10. A giant panda can peel and eat a bamboo shoot in about 40 seconds flat.
11. A panda’s throat has a special lining to protect it from bamboo splinters.

Oxygen can Killing us slowly!!!

 Hey my friend , be relax ,close your eyes for a moment and FOCUS ON your BREATHING. Breathe deeply. Then release the air from your lung .Do it many times .Of course It feels great .so oxygen brings life .97 % of the oxygen do this miracle for us  and used to produce energy. .BUT remaining 3 % of the ( hungry) Oxygen having Dark side and produce free radicals.           These free radicals can eat our body cells day by day....showing symptoms when we get old. LIVING TOO SHORT;DYING TOO LONG Scientific research shows that these free radical damage is the underlying causes of almost every chronic degenerative diseases known as diabetes ,cancer, macular degeneration and arthritis. If it is in your eyes ,you could develop cataracts or if it is in your blood vessels, you could have a heart attack or If it is in your joints ,it could develop arthritis.             Causes of free radical damage is       ...

During summer the Eiffel Tower is taller.How?

Thermal Expansion. What is thermal expansion?       Imagine you have a rod. This rod can be made of metal, plastic or wood. The length of your rod changes proportional to the environmental temperature. We know that fluids expand in their volume when they are heated.Solid materials can expand as well.        So the height of the Eiffel Tower is 324 meters on average-changes depending on the season. When the hot summer sun beats down on it, thermal expansion causes the metal to grow. The tower can swell in height by as much as 15 centimeters (6 inches). But once the hot sun goes down, the expansion decreases.Not only towers but bridges can expand in their length too. Here is the use of expansion joints essentials. These little gaps allows brides to expand in summer without destroying the material due to the acting force. Without these expansion joints bridges might get seriously damaged over time.

Why heavier objects do NOT fall faster than lighter objects?

    How fast something falls due to gravity is determined by a number known as the "acceleration of gravity", which is 9.81 m/s^2 at the surface of our Earth. Basically this means that in one second, any object's downward velocity will increase by 9.81 m/s because of gravity. This is just the way gravity works - it accelerates everything at exactly the same rate. What you may be getting confused by is the fact that the force of gravity is stronger on heavier objects than lighter ones. Another way of thinking of this is to say that gravity has to pull harder on a heavy object than a light one in order to speed them both up by the same amount. However, in the real world, we have things like air resistance, which is why sometimes heavy things do fall faster. For example, if you drop a feather and you drop a rock, the rock will land first since the feather is slowed down more by the air. If you did the same thing somewhere where there is no air, the feather and the roc...
