There isn’t a shortage of ancient texts and general evidence to support the idea that giants lived on Earth. You’ve probably never heard a storey like this before. Meet Kap Dwa, a two-headed, 3.5-meter-tall giant from Patagonia. Although there are many elaborate hoaxes that show huge bones and strange-looking skeletons all over the world, several findings question our perception of life on Earth. Kap Dwa’s storey is beyond interesting, and many people find it difficult to believe. The story begins in 1673 when this massive two-headed giant was captured by Spanish sailors where he remained captive until he was killed while trying…

His little face still stares upwards, as if eternally waiting for his mother. From the moment he was discovered, the little Inuit baby captured hearts with his photograph plastered on magazines and news stories around the world. When he was first found, he was believed to be a doll, but it was soon discovered that it was actually the body of a six-month old baby boy. He was buried alive with his already dead mother – presumably because there was no one left to care for him. The small Inuit baby was found along with a two-year-old boy, and six…

The first study describing the discovery of marine plastic debris was published in the journal Science in 1972; the researchers reported that “plastic particles, in concentrations averaging 3500 pieces and 290 grams per square kilometer, are widespread in the western Sargasso Sea.”1 After 50 years, what have we done about it? There has been no shortage of press about plastic pollution in the ocean. Photographs of seabirds and marine life stuffed with and/or entangled in plastic have especially brought the crisis to the public eye. But the impact goes far beyond whales and albatrosses. According to the United Nations, marine debris is “negatively…

Upcycling old clothes and textiles in your garden can be a great way to find new life in old materials, and keep those items from waste streams. Making use of these old materials can also help us reduce the things that we may need to buy to maintain our gardens and transform them into the productive and attractive places we want them to be. When thinking about how to use old clothing and other reclaimed fabrics in our gardens, the first thing to consider is which materials we are talking about. Both old synthetic fabrics and natural fabrics can have…

Whereas March gently ushers in the spring season, it’s April that enthusiastically flings open the doors to warmer days and balmy nights. The transformation is most noticeable during the evening hours, when the hushed silence of winter gives way to a lively symphony of insect chatter, celebrating a world awakening from its frosty slumber. Amidst this jubilant nocturnal resurgence, the relatively early darkness of the evening still offers a perfect opportunity to gaze at the starry skies! Here are some celestial highlights that await curious eyes. Wishing you clear skies! Get That Telescope Ready: It’s Galaxy Season (all month)An image…

For years, environmental NGOs, the clothing company Patagonia, and even a few celebrities (hi, Leo) have been campaigning for the protection of the Vjosa River. As one of the last wild rivers in Europe, the Vjosa is host to more than 1,100 animal and plant species—including 13 animal species and two plant species assessed as globally threatened by IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). And like most rivers, its delicate ecosystem has been under threat from human interference. In the rush for green energy, at one point, as many as 45 hydropower plants were planned across the region, portending a…

John Hume once had an audacious plan. To combat rhino poaching, the South African entrepreneur aimed to create a massive rhinoceros breeding farm where the animals would be kept safe and their numbers could flourish on his vast, privately owned savanna. He’d fund the operation by sawing off and selling his animals’ horns. With a legal rhino horn trade and a consistent supply from farms like his, he reasoned, horn prices would eventually drop and make poaching less attractive. Made of keratin, the same material as fingernails, rhino horn can grow back at a rate of about four inches per year. So selling…

From an iconic WWE run to a thriving acting career and growing beverage empire, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has seen no shortage of success. But when it comes to his daily routine, his biggest success secret is to do less, Johnson said when he joined CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on January 17. “I used to have this mentality … that, ‘Well, my plate is full. However, I’m going to make room for [more]’ — and I would find a way to do that,” he said. Taking on more led to intense productivity for Johnson — but that “plate is always…

Hawks and eagles are among the more than 200 species of the family Accipitridae, a group of swift, strong raptors that kill other animals for food and are diurnal, or active during the day. Hawks are generally divided into large, broad-winged buteos, sometimes known as “soaring hawks,” that live in open country like grasslands, and accipiters, which tend to be smaller and inhabit woodlands. Hawks are typically smaller than eagles but larger than falcons. Like most raptors—and unlike most other birds—female hawks tend to be larger than males. Here are 18 of the most magnificent buteo and accipiter hawks in the world.…

Luffy’s Gear 5 is a powerful form, but is it enough to defeat Yonko Shanks? Shanks is one of the Four Emperors of the Sea in the world of One Piece and an influential figure for the main character of the story, Monkey D. Luffy. Shanks is the sole reason why Luffy is a pirate right now and, one day, Luffy aims to be just like him. In more ways than one, Shanks is Luffy’s goal. However, the fact that they are both pirates aiming for the One Piece means that they are on opposing ends. Shanks and Luffy may be very close to each other…

The Going Merry nearly suffered an unfortunate fate in One Piece but made a miracle happen – and Usopp is the one who caused it. The world of One Piece is far from realistic. After all, the series is littered with power-granting fruits referred to as Devil Fruits. A person who eats one will gain powers upon consumption, but will also lose their inability to swim. The franchise also features sky islands, human clones and many mythical races. Recent developments have even introduced the idea of individuals sharing a single metabolism. But despite One Piece’s fantastical premise, miracles still exist. One of the most…
