a fascinating fact about sharks

Many sharks lay soft-shelled eggs but hammerheads give
birth to live young that look like miniature versions of
their parents. Young hammerheads are often born headfirst,
with the tip of their hammerhead folded backward to make
them more streamlined for birth.

if you have any interesting animal/nature trivia please post
them in this thread, don't hesitate

sincere thanks in advance from

they have to keep moving, or they suffocate.

More people die from texting on mobile phones than shark
bites per year.

Approx 75% of spider bites occur from people trying to kill
the spider.

does that factor in how many shark bites are caused by
mobile phones?

Interesting variable which I doubt was considered.
If sharks could bite from mobile phones I would be using
that app right now.

Here is a fact about the birds and the bees:
There are no birds. And there are no bees.

They've found a couple of marine species that seem to have
the capacity to endlessly regenerate their cells haven't
they?

Now they need to keep some under surveillance for for as
many human generations as possible.

Forgot their names, one is a form of jellyfish... I'll find
a link in a bit. Enjoying a quiet beer and smoke in my
kitchen, posting from a phone, which I don't enjoy.

Axolotls are neotenic amphibious salamandas , they can
regenerate limbs and even internal organs, they are being
used for scientific research for understanding cell
regeneration and for molecular cancer supression in humans.
They share a similar dna structure to humans and are
possibly very close as our early ancestors. interestingly,
under certain conditions that are not fully understood,
they can under go metamorphosis to land dwelling salamandas.
