Ganges dolphin (also susuk, suzu). The water in the Ganges is so muddy that its tiny eyes can only tell the difference between light and dark, so they rely entirely on sonar to navigate.

One of its official names is also "blind dolphin". Unfortunately, the Ganges dolphin is listed in the International Red Book and is on the verge of extinction. It has no natural enemies, but people get it for the meat, which is used as bait for fish. Its fat is used in folk medicine as an aphrodisiac.

After careful research by Maine wildlife biologists, it was concluded that this bald eagle was killed by a blow to the heart from a loon. The blow was delivered after the bald eagle dived down, grabbing one of the loon chicks

And there has been talk in the past that loons are capable of this, but this particular study has proven that loons can kill a bald eagle 🦅

In the area where the eagle was found, a dead loon chick was also found. A biologist from New Hampton, USA, noticed a puncture wound on the body of an eagle and put forward the theory that it was killed by a loon (the mother of chicks). Maine biologists agreed after extensive research.

 

Some alligators can survive even after being frozen. In winter, they undergo a process called brumation, where they literally slow down their body (pulse, breathing), which allows them to conserve energy for long periods of time.

Brumation and hibernation are not the same thing. Hibernating animals must eat off so that they have enough energy for the time they sleep, being in suspended animation. Some reptiles can fall into brumation, during this period they simply slow down the body's processes, being in a very sluggish state. Unlike hibernating animals, reptiles in brumation need to drink water. But, to be completely honest, before brumation, reptiles begin to eat a little more often, and during it they sleep longer than usual 🐊

 

Fantastic leaf-tailed gecko, also known as the satanic gecko

It's hard to believe, but the word “fantastic” is not our expression of delight, but it really is called “fantastic leaf-tailed gecko” 🍂

This is a real Belgian blue bull. This breed of cows and bulls has the so-called "double muscles". A specific mutation results in an increase in the number of muscle fibers instead of the usual increase in individual muscle fibers

There are many rumors around the bulls of this meat breed, and the most important of them is that these are GMOs, and that their meat is dangerous to eat. In fact, the Belgian blue is the fruit of many years of work by breeders who carefully selected individuals with this natural mutation and crossed them among themselves. Those. for cattle of this breed, this mutation is the norm 🐮

11. The dog won, but for some reason it seems that it will not be long!

 

Does your puppy go from energetic and playful to sleepy in minutes? Does he run around and then fall wide tired from falling asleep anywhere? Is the champion drowsy, especially after playing or walking? If you are wondering, it is normal for a growing puppy to sleep between 15 and 20 hours a day. Although it seems too much, keep in mind that newborn babies sleep 90% of the time!

1.

Your puppy can also have the gift of falling asleep almost instantly, sometimes in the middle of an activity, such as eating or playing. Although this drowsiness may be surprising, you don't normally have to worry. Especially in the first year, your little canine friend will alternate periods of energy and intense activity (including running, jumping and biting, to name just a few things your puppy loves) with a lot of sleep and a lot of drowsiness.

2.

The more active he is, the more he will have to sleep. As you grow older, your baby will start to sleep less. But even adult dogs sleep a lot, on average 50-65% of the time. So, rest assured, it's better to let him sleep! You can also try our tips to give him a good quality sleep, which he needs to grow into a happy and healthy adult.

3.

A dog's sleep cycle is divided into two types of sleep: slow wave sleep (SWS) and fast eye movement (REM). Usually, when you see a dog falling asleep during the day for a short time, it enjoys slow-wave sleep, which is marked by an easier form of sleep and less brain activity.

4.

The reason why it is not so unusual to see a dog sleeping at various times during the day is that they do not have a normal sleep regime. Unlike people, whose sleep is partially dictated by a "biological clock" known as the circadian rhythm, the sleep pattern of dogs is dictated by the fact that they sleep for shorter periods that may occur during the day. These sleep intervals are also necessary - dogs have fewer REM sleep periods compared to humans and therefore need more rest in general.

5.

One of the most fascinating aspects of canine sleep is that they can sleep virtually anywhere. Sometimes the way they turn and turn their body doesn't seem so comfortable. However, there is no denying that a sleeping puppy is most often adorable, regardless of position.

6.

The most inherent sleeping position for a dog is to curl up in the ball position. Although it is believed to be the least restful for them, they practice this position because it protects their body and helps them retain heat. The dog inherits these functions from its wild ancestors, which such tactics have helped to avoid predators and keep their body warm when they are not sheltered.

7.

On the other hand, when a dog sleeps on its back it is clear that it feels safe in its environment. You will see that this position is adopted more by indoor dogs than by those who live in nature because the comfort of the space you have created for him allows him to let his guard down. It is also considered the most comfortable and restful position for a dog.

8.

Another position that conveys a similar safety message is the side-lying position (lying on its side). Like lying on your back, it is considered a very restful position. It is also a position that demonstrates the confidence of knowing that you will not have to defend yourself from any predator or be forced to move at any time.

9.

The other sleeping position that a dog will occupy is lying on its stomach. While a sleeping dog will rest in this position, he will sit in such a way that he can act very quickly. While this maneuver may have ancient origins - this way it could rise and act at the first sound of a threat - this position allows it not to miss anything interesting you do.

10.

If it is common practice to see your dog sleeping on its side or back, clap. You have successfully created an extraordinary environment for your dog; one in whom he has full confidence that nothing bad will happen to him while he falls asleep. If you see your dog sleeping curled up or on its belly, don't worry - it's a matter of instinct on their part and some old habits die hard.
