It is said that horses can detect an incoming earthquake. During this situation, they become restless and become violent.

8% of Americans believe they can defeat an elephant. Are they out of their mind?

Those who think should go in forest to fight grizzly, elephant, gorilla or lion. I am 95% sure that i can kill an elephant if i have a good elephant killing gun in mu hands.

Origin of some fruits that are found all over the world.
1. Tomato (ٹماٹر) is widely used and has the origin from Mexico. Spanish invaders spread it all over the world. It is used as a vegetable but is a berry-like fruit! The english world tomato is taken from the Aztec word TOMATL.
2. Potato (آلو) Its origin is from Peru in south America and is now widely used in worldwide level. Russia, India, Ukraine, China and United States are producing the most potatos in the world.

I wonder what Italian food was like before they got tomatoes from the Americas?

I also cannot imagine that how dishes tasted before tomato introduction here. Tomato flourished in South Asia due to the country's good climate. Thanks to the Aztecs and Mayans.

The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Sarmatians, Assyrians, Britons and Romans are all known to have used dogs in combat, or for scouts, sentries, trackers, or executioners. But the Spanish conquistadors employed war dogs on a scale that had rarely been seen before, and with devastating effect, and Becerrillo was their most prized weapon of war.

Dogs in their armor. That makes them weapons of war just like horses.

Animals which hunt bigger prey do not necessarily defeat animals that eat only seeds and insects.

www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mushroom-massive-three-blue-whales-180970549/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=socialmedia&fbclid=IwAR22Dpv4AliIWV5syhgScuXnWNl-xQK5Yv_2-Xr-c99cl0nLWJtBOdYiAm4 This Humongous Fungus Is as Massive as Three Blue Whales. A new estimate suggests this mushroom is 2,500 Years Old and Weighs 440 tons. The blue whale gets a lot of ink for the being the largest animal to ever live, beating out even the biggest dinosaurs. But it turns out the largest organisms on Earth aren’t in the oceans, they are beneath our feet. By weight and area, honey mushrooms in the genus Armillaria beat whales many times over. Now, reports Matthew Taub at Atlas Obscura, a new analysis of the original “humongous fungus” in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula shows the massive mushroom is much bigger and much older than researchers first believed. About 25 years ago, researchers discovered that an Armillaria gallica mushroom near Crystal Falls, Michigan, covered about 91 acres, weighed 110 tons and was about 1,500 years old, setting a new record for the largest organism at the time. For a new study published on the preprint service bioRxiv, James Anderson, a biologist at the University of Toronto and one of the original discoverers of the fungus, returned to the site and took 245 samples from the mushroom and examined its genome. The team confirmed that indeed, the entire fungus is just one individual.

scitechdaily.com/pleistocene-era-plant-revived-from-siberian-permafrost/ Pleistocene-Era Plant Revived from Siberian Permafrost. The seeds from the herbaceous Silene stenophylla have been regenerated into full flowering plants in Russia, the new study revealed [PDF]. Svetlana Yashina and David Gilichinsky of the Russian Academy of Sciences will publish their findings in the journal PNAS shortly. This could be a landmark finding in paleobotany. The Siberian permafrost could have a pool of ancient genetic life, which could be preserved and hypothetically revived. This is by far the oldest plant by far that has ever been grown from ancient tissue. The previous record was grown from a 2,000 year old date palm seeds gathered in the Masada fortress, near the Dead Sea in Israel. Radiocarbon dating has confirmed that the seeds date from 31,800 years ago. The discovery of 70 squirrel hibernation burrows along the bank of the lower Kolyma river, in northeast Siberia, led to thousands of seed samples from various plants. The burrows were found at a depth of 20 to 40 meters, which contained remains of large mammals such as mammoths. Scientists were able to regrow new specimens from old plant material because the burrows were quickly covered with ice, and have remained continually frozen ever since, which prevented any permafrost degradation. Unfortunately, Glichinsky died of a heart attack last Saturday.

Even though Ursus maritimus tyrannus's fossil remain was discovered back in 1964, biologists were evidently taking a close look at the fossil ulna in the early 2000s. There were numerous wild animal forums back then; I was most active in the old AVA. According to the hype, U.m. tyrannus was the biggest bear ever - bigger than Arctodus simus. It took a couple of years for the word to spread that - NO - Arctodus simus is still the biggest bear ever. Next; I believe it was in 2011 ( or there abouts ) that the word got out that a gigantic ( near-elephant-sized ) bear was discovered; Arctotherium angustidens. This bear became our new giant - at 3,500 pounds, bigger than Arctodus simus. But, as time traveled on, the size of this new South American short-faced bear gradually began to down-size. Today, Arctodus simus is still the biggest bear ever. Now, I'm waiting patiently for the next contender.

No telling what someone might dig up next.
