This Reasons Why Kangaroo Jumping

One of Australia's unique animals other than kangaroos known as the animals are adorable, also because of its ability to jump while on the move. Some researchers also tried to uncover why these terrestrial mammals do such capabilities. 
 
According to the researchers, Kangaroos establish an important position in the tree of life, but until now they have not been sequenced DNA.

An international consortium of researchers were trying to sort the genes kangaroos, tammar wallabies including the species, and discover hidden data in the gene may be responsible for the characteristics of the kangaroo jumps. 
 
"Project identification of genes tammar wallabies has given us many possibilities to understand how the kangaroo is different from other types of marsupials," says Professor Marilyn Renfree from the University of Melbourne, as reported by Science Daily, Sunday (21/08/2011). 
 
Tammar wallabies have many interesting biological characteristics. For example, gestational age of 12 months covering the period of 11 months of suspended animation in the womb. At birth, young kangaroos weighing only half a gram, and spent 9 months in the mother's pouch, where the newborns were for protection. The researchers hope that the gene sequences will offer clues about how genes regulate the lives of tammar wallabies kangaroos. 
 
They also identified, specific genes that make a kangaroo jump and perform other behaviors that do not do mammals generally. 
 
Conclusions obtained while the scientists emphasized that the genes of the species tammar wallabies, which became a major factor why the kangaroo, which is also Australia's iconic animal jumps.

Like a Terrorist, Chimpanzees can also use the AK-47

Rampant video featuring chimpanzees fired machine guns at the African troops, while others are holding a machete. Scientists sure, chimps can do it. 
 
Like a documentary video that looks very scary and real. Although just a part of the new film campaigns, experts claim, chimpanzees can be trained to use weapons. 
 
Professor John Mitani of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, United States (U.S.), said, "Chimpanzees can be trained to hold a weapon like the video." 
 
<img alt="" src="http://static.inilah.com/data/berita/foto/1720892.jpg" width="620" /> 
 
But do not panic, scientists said, the chimpanzees will not seek weapons to harm humans. Chimpanzees simply mimics the way humans holding the gun. 
 
"When shooting, I doubt that chimps understand what he was doing," he added. 
 
Even so, Mitani admitted chimps are aggressive animals. 
 
Last year, Mitani studying wild chimpanzees and found that this gang of monkeys regularly attacked chimpanzees competitors in order to get the area and killed a young chimpanzee to show dominance. 
 
These findings clearly undermine the myth of the chimpanzee is an animal lover and highlight how these animals 'inherit' the worst aspects of human behavior. 
 
"Before humans appeared on Earth, the planet is indeed filled with monkeys. At 20-50 million years before humans appeared, the planet Earth was once indeed a cancer," he said. 
 
Since then, as quoted Dailymail, diversity ape t disappear until there are only five species of monkeys can be seen at this time, he concluded.

These insects 'Noisy' For Vital Tool

Although only 2 millimeters berikuran, aquatic insects that have an official name Micronecta scholtzi is touted as the noisiest insects around the world by using his penis. Why? 
 
This fact is indeed hard to believe, given the size of insects is a vital tool even thinner than a human hair. But when rubbing his genitals into the abdomen, the insect will issue up to 99.2 decibels loud. The Daily Mail reported on Sunday (03/07/2011). 
 
Friction was performed male insects to attract their opposite sex. Because of this uniqueness, insects can be found all over Europe is nicknamed the 'singing penis'. 
 
<img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNa5-5ySeQSyBbzp_y7a3cOqh_Hv-uSaY5SzF-bHhs05T6gJZnsHdeH22mq-AAyh7EfJKcQf_dJ2uT7gMisx7PcXiqL3SYsIKyijkQJ_AMbieBPbuiTnutKcy851p5qSysAm789Ds1aSNn/s1600/These+insects+%2527Noisy%2527+For+Vital+Tool.jpg" width="620" /> 
 
Although done below sea level, the friction could be heard by humans who happened to pass by. But because 99 percent of the vote was muffled by the water, there is absolutely no risk to people who hear it. 
 
The average insect that will give voice to 78.9 decibels, equivalent to the sound of passing trains. 
 
Make no mistake, Micronecta scholtzi ternyaring not animals in the world. The position until now still occupied by the blue whale is capable of issuing up to 188 decibels of sound when singing. Meanwhile, the sound of an elephant who is calling his flock can reach 117 decibels. 
 
Nevertheless, the French and Scottish scientist, Jerome Sueur and James Windmill, who discovered this new fact, argues otherwise. "If you compare the sound levels they produce with his size, then the insect is clearly a ternyaring animal in the world," said Sueur.

These Dogs Love to Sweep Roads

A golden retriever-type dog has a unique hobby that is sweeping the street while walking with their owners. 
 
This dog became a celebrity in China when the dog was photographed carrying a broom while walking in Changchun City, Jilin Province, China. Similarly, as reported by Orange, on Saturday (06/11/2011). 
 
Under the owner instruction, Xu Ming, this dog can run zigzag and sweep the streets clean of garbage. When finished sweeping, the dog returned to the owner. 
 
"My dog is very intelligent and benign, I will train again for my dog good at doing something else," said Xu. 
 
"Because my dog likes to sweep, I made my dog a little broom that can be taken be taken by it to go anywhere," he added

Frog Skin Containing the Tumor Killer

Researchers from Queens University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, found two types of proteins in frog skin, potentially as a cancer cure. 
 
"Two types of proteins that can inhibit the growth of blood vessels once used to kill tumor cells," said Chris Shaw, leader of the research team, on Tuesday (06/07/2011), told BBC News. 
 
According to Shaw, most tumor cells can only grow to a certain size before it requires blood vessel cells to grow into a tumor in order to deliver nutrients and oxygen are very important substances. 
 
In the study, scientists catching frogs and retrieve the results of protein secretion on the skin, then release it back into the wild. Shaw says he is confident of nature have a solution for a variety of diseases faced by humans, "Just how to find it." 
 
The study was awarded to medical breakthroughs in the Medical Futures Innovation Awards in London recently.

Secret Breathing Diving Bell Spider

Diving bell spider (Argyroneta aquatica) or water spiders that live in ponds and slow-flowing river just need to take the air out of the water once a day. Conclusion scientist’s spider European researchers were published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. 
 
The researchers measured oxygen levels in and around the air bubble nets that cover the head of animals that live in water. They found that bubble function like gills, extracting oxygen from water and remove carbon dioxide. 
 
The spider that lived in Europe and northern Asia is a web with fine hair from her belly. To find out how many times the spider took the air, an invertebrate specialist, Professor Roger Seymour and Dr Stefan Hetz, collected samples from the River spiders eider, Germany. They build artificial habitats of spiders in the laboratory. 
 
It turned out that by measuring the difference in oxygen concentration in bubbles and water environment, researchers have gills for gas exchange as well as in animals that breathe in water. 
 
"When the spiders breathe oxygen in the bubble, oxygen levels decrease and oxygen from water into the bubble," Seymour said as quoted by the BBC on Thursday (09/06/2011).

The Spider not Always Need Eight Legs

Scientists may find the answer to why spiders have a lot of foot, exceeding their needs. Excessive foot was so feet of reserves. Thus the results of a study published in the journal Naturwissenschaften. 
 
The researchers got datah that 10 percent of all spiders in nature have a foot incomplete. "At least they lost one of their eight legs,” explained Alain Pasquet from the University of Nancy 1, France, involved in research. Furthermore Pasquet and his colleagues wanted to determine the effects of leg loss of spiders. 
 
The research team then collected 123 spider Zygiella x-notata - 60 have eight legs, while 63 lost one or more legs. Each spider was given its own box so they can make a nest. Pasquet and his team found that nets made of spider-legged incomplete not differ with artificial nets full-legged spider. 
 
Then, the researchers put the flies in the box to see the hunting skills of spiders that lack legs. As a result, the spider will still have the capability disabled hunting and prey is perfect. "We were shocked. We expect to lose the foot affect the hunting ability. In fact not at all," said Pasquet. 
 
Based on these findings, researchers believe the spider has a foot in excess of their needs. The amount of this surplus into profit when one or several predators destroyed their feet. 
 
The researchers also found a limited number of feet that "may" be lost. In nature, researchers have found a spider with five legs. In the laboratory, these spiders build webs in a haphazard

Rabbit Born Without Ears in Fukushima

The world community is now an uproar with the presence of a video, titled "A Rabbit Was Born Without Ears Near Fukushima" on Youtube (video is below). The video has become popular. 
 
The world community now believe that nuclear pollution in Fukushima area that is the cause why rabbit was born without ears. The last thing they fear has become reality. 
 
The YouTube user’s location is listed as the Tsushima area of Namie town, which happens to lie at the northwest edge of the original 30 kilometer exclusion zone set up around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. 
 
<img alt="" src="http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/DGSfEJubHJg/1.jpg" style="margin-left:10px;margin-bottom:10px;float:right;padding;5px 5px 5px 5px;" width="250">According to data released by the Japanese and U.S. governments, it was one of the places that suffered from considerable radioactive. Based on that data, the Japanese government expanded the evacuation zone in April, telling all residents of Namie to leave the area. 
 
The anonymous uploader claims that there is “cover-up” [隠蔽工作] taking place. Apparently this rabbit is proof that the government has been lying about the health risk from the radiation leak. He/She claims that rabbits have a faster life cycle than humans, so they are an indication of what may eventually happen to human babies in Japan.
