TOP 6 Animals Hunted to Extinction by YOU

-

1.Great White Sharks




Shark fin (the main ingredient in shark fin soup) is another prized delicacy which has unfortunately led to a serious decline in the number of great whites. Great white sharks are the largest predatory fish on Earth but these giant sea creatures are victims of "finning" by fisherman, essentially, stripping the fins from the shark then tossing them back in the water to die or be eaten alive. 
2.Elephant Bird
History has not been kind to the elephant bird of Madagascar. Standing nearly 10 feet tall and weighing up to 1,000 pounds — or so researchers believed — this flightless cousin of the ostrich went extinct in the 17th century, thanks in part to humans stealing their massive eggs.

3.Woolly Mammoths



The last of the Great Woolly Mammoth populations vanished near the end of the last Ice Age over 4,000 years ago. These incredible creatures carried tusks that could measure up to 15 feet long. And imagine- they are considered one of the smallest among their species. The mammoth lived on birch and was hunted for meat and fur. 

4.Thylacines (Tasmanian Tigers)

In 1936, the largest carnivorous marsupial of the time, the thylacine - became extinct. With the head of a dog, the stripes of a cat and the pouch of a kangaroo this unique creature, better known as the Tasmanian tiger. One particular wool and textile supply company called Van Diemen’s Land Company was in great part responsible for the eradication of the Tasmanian tiger.
5.Passenger Pigeons

The Passenger Pigeon was one of the most abundant birds in the world - but by the early 20th century, their species had been hunted to extinction. Due to their abundance, (they would migrate in flocks of billions through the sky!) their meat was used to feed slaves and the poor and they were slaughtered, quite barbarically on a prodigious scale.

6.Dodos
 Living happily in isolation on the Isle of Mauritius, the dodo was an oblivious, flightless bird not well built for defending itself from predators. It also only laid one egg a year. This bird was clearly only suited for a quiet life. When mankind arrived at the island, they brought monkeys, rats and pigs with them, which proved too much for the dodos to handle. They were all killed and/or eaten to extinction by 1681.

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           NOT TAKING ENOUGH ANTIOXIDANTs          excessive stress ,fast foods ,smoking cigeret

Insulin Injection

Insulin Injection Sites: Where and How to Inject Overview   Insulin is a hormone that helps cells use glucose (sugar) for energy. It works as a “key,” allowing the sugar to go from the blood and into the cell. In type 1 diapetes, the body doesn’t make insulin. In type 2 diabetes, the body doesn’t use insulin correctly, which can lead to the pancreas not being able to produce enough — or any, depending on the progression of the disease —insulin to meet your body’s needs. Insulin injection methods There are different ways to take insulin, including syringes,  insulin pens ,  insulin pumps , and  jet injectors . How to inject insulin

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
