Amazing Facts About the Snake
1.There are over 3000 kinds of snakes in the world. They are present in every continent except Antarctica
2. Snakes cannot bite their food so in order to eat large prey, they will unhinge their jaw to swallow the food whole
3.Snakes such as boas and anacondas suffocate their prey by squeezing it to death
4. Snakes use their tongue to smell
5. 70% of snake species lay eggs while the other 30% give birth to live young

What is Chimera?
A chimera is essentially a single organism that's made up of cells from two or more "individuals"—that is, it contains two sets of DNA, with the code to make two separate organisms. One way that chimeras can happen naturally in humans is that a fetus can absorb its twin.

What is a period and why do we have them?
A period is when a woman’s body releases tissue it no longer needs. This tissue comes from the uterus, which is where a baby (fetus) can develop in the female body. Every month or so, the uterus lining gets thicker to prepare for a fertilized egg if the woman becomes pregnant. If the egg doesn’t get fertilized, that lining is released from the body as blood through the vagina. This monthly process is called menstruation or a period.So when a girl has her period, her body is just getting rid of a small amount of blood and some unneeded tissue. It is a natural, normal body process for all females as they become women and mature physically.

What is “CRISPR”?
“CRISPR” (pronounced “crisper”) stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the hallmark of a bacterial defense system that forms the basis for CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology. In the field of genome engineering, the term “CRISPR” or “CRISPR-Cas9” is often used loosely to refer to the various CRISPR-Cas9 and -CPF1, (and other) systems that can be programmed to target specific stretches of genetic code and to edit DNA at precise locations, as well as for other purposes, such as for new diagnostic tools.

How many spoken languages are there in the world?
There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. However, about 2,000 of those languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers.

What is the concept of Space?
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is, often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists, usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime.
The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

What is UNFCCC?
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international environmental treaty adopted on 9 May 1992 and opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992. It then entered into force on 21 March 1994, after a sufficient number of countries had ratified it.

Axis Powers vs Allied Powers in World War-II.
During WWII, two sides, the Allies and the Axis powers, fought each other all over the world. The main Axis powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan, while the main Allies were Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States. In addition, a few nations stayed neutral and didn't fight.

Mauna Kea is Taller Than Everest.
Mount Everest may be the tallest mountain above sea level, but when it comes to the tallest mountain on earth, that honor goes to Mauna Kea.
Above the sea, Mauna Kea only stands 13,796 feet in height. But when you follow the mountain to its base at the bottom of the Pacific, it's 32,808 feet — more than 3,000 feet taller than Everest.

Can both ovaries release an egg at the same time during menstrual cycle?
Only one ovulation can happen per cycle. You can, however, ovulate two (or more) eggs at the same time. When this happens, there is the potential to conceive fraternal (non-identical) twins if both eggs are fertilized. But having two separate eggs released at different times within the same cycle doesn't happen.

There Are 7,100+ Islands in the Philippines.
The Archipelago of the Philippines is made up of 7,641 islands — several hundred more than the 7,107 islands scientists previously believed the country contained.
The southern Pacific islands were named for King Philip II of Spain. The country's largest island is Luzon, spanning 42,458 square miles.
