Religious buildings were closed or destroyed.

Lake Hillier in Western Australia is famous for its bright pink water that stretches across the entire lake. The color comes from salt-loving algae and bacteria that produce red pigments, which mix with the salty water to create the vivid pink hue. The lake is about 600 meters long and sits on Middle Island, surrounded by green vegetation. Its water is safe to touch or swim in, and the pink color remains even when water is taken from the lake. Scientists have studied the lake and identified the microbes responsible, though research continues into why the color stays so vibrant year-round.

A mother koala 🐨 will feed her baby her own feces known as pap. Baby koalas—or joeys—haven’t developed the intestinal bacteria that help detoxify the highly poisonous eucalyptus leaves 🍃, which are a koala’s main diet. This process is crucial for their survival.

Warning, don't watch the video when eating.

Self-control is not just about willpower. 🧠 Building habits and routines makes it easier to stick to your goals. Repeating small positive actions regularly strengthens your ability to maintain self-discipline over time. Setting up your environment to make good choices easier and temptations harder also helps. After about three months, actions that once felt difficult can start to feel natural.

Albinism: a genetic condition that reduces or stops the body's melanin production, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, & eyes. Albino people often have very light skin, hair, and eye color. It can also affect vision, causing problems like poor sight and light sensitivity.
Most people with albinism have blue, hazel, green, or light brown eyes, depending on the amount of melanin pigmentation. Some may appear to have red or violet eyes since the lack of melanin allows underlying blood vessels to show.
Their skin is more sensitive to the sun, they burn easily and have a higher risk of skin damage. Albinism is present from birth and is inherited through genes. Most have normal health and lifespan with proper care. But many face social challenges like persecution, stigma, and discrimination in different parts of the world.

Putting feelings into words can help your brain process them. Saying “I feel angry,” “I feel hungry,” or “I feel love” lowers activity in the amygdala, which reacts strongly to emotions. At the same time, the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex becomes more active.

Cat Island, or Tashirojima in Japan, is a small island where cats outnumber people. Cats roam freely across streets, beaches, and temples. Locals feed and care for them, while visitors enjoy watching them. Shrines and statues honor cats, and shops sell cat-themed souvenirs. The island is scenic, with nature paths and calm beaches. Many believe the cats bring good luck, making it a favorite spot for animal lovers. Boats connect it to the mainland, and walking around feels like stepping into a world ruled by friendly, relaxed cats.

Humans and bananas share about 60% of human genes in common counterparts. These are gene products (proteins), not DNA itself. These shared genes are involved in basic cell functions, like oxygen use, energy production, and protein creation.

Whales eat in cold, nutrient-rich waters and travel to warmer, nutrient-poor seas. Their urine carries nitrogen and phosphorus, which feed phytoplankton at the ocean surface. Phytoplankton grow faster and provide food for krill, small fish, and other marine animals, supporting the entire ocean food chain. Without whales, nutrient levels drop, and many fish and marine species would struggle to survive. A single fin whale can produce about 950 liters (250 gallons) of urine per day, making whales important “nutrient pumps” that keep oceans healthy.
