The Loneliest Whale in world singing the songs of loneliness.

In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn't like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn't have a family. She doesn't belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn't have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each.

Pit Viper

There is a group of snakes that are known as Pit Vipers.  Not only are these snakes venomous they also have a very 'cool' heat sensing system.  This helps these snakes to find prey in the dark, which is when most snakes like to hunt. The ‘pit’ is a special organ in between the eyes and the nostrils.  The pit senses body heat from animals and gives the snake a ‘picture’ of that animal.  The snake can then attack it. Some pit vipers will bite and poison the prey and then release it.  It will follow the dying animal, using its heat sensors, until it stops and the snake can swallow it.  Most pit vipers hunt at night...
