Think Modern Australia Is Dangerous? Check Out the Past



Prehistoric Australia was home to some of the scariest creatures ever. Imagine running into a giant, meat-eating kangaroo or a massive, 20-foot-long crocodile! There were also huge birds called "demon ducks" that couldn't fly but could chase you down. And let's not forget the enormous lizards and snakes that roamed the land. It's safe to say that living in ancient Australia would have been like living in a real-life monster movie!

18 Banned and Controversial Foods from Around the World



Around the world, there are some foods that are either banned or super controversial. For example, in the United States, you can't buy haggis because it contains sheep lungs, which are banned. Foie gras, made from the liver of force-fed ducks or geese, is banned in places like California due to animal cruelty concerns. In Japan, eating fugu, a type of pufferfish, is a risky delicacy because it's poisonous if not prepared correctly. And in some countries, raw milk is a no-go because it can carry harmful bacteria.

What Happens When Stars Kiss



When stars get really close to each other, it's like they're having a cosmic kiss. These star kisses can cause huge explosions called supernovae, lighting up the sky with incredible brightness. Sometimes, the stars can merge together to form an even bigger star. Other times, they might create a super-dense object called a black hole. It’s an amazing cosmic event that shows just how powerful and dynamic our universe is!

The Final Encounters with Extinct Species



Let's talk about some fascinating extinct animals and their last recorded sightings. The Barbary lion, also known as the North African lion, roamed the Maghreb but was hunted to near extinction, with the last wild sighting in 1956 and about 80-100 still in captivity. The dodo, a flightless bird from Mauritius, disappeared rapidly due to invasive species and habitat destruction, with its last confirmed sighting in 1662. Steller's sea cow was discovered in 1741 and hunted to extinction within just 27 years, leaving only bones and fossils as evidence. The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was last confirmed in the wild in 1930, and the last one in captivity died in 1936 at Hobart Zoo.

Body Facts You Can Share to Freak Out Your Friends



Did you know your stomach gets a new lining every few days to prevent it from digesting itself? Here’s another one: the acid in your stomach is strong enough to dissolve metal. Your body also has about 60,000 miles of blood vessels, which could circle the Earth more than twice if laid end to end. Your nose can remember up to 50,000 different scents, making it quite the sniffing powerhouse. And finally, humans actually glow in the dark, but the light is too faint for our eyes to see.
