Gibbon is a small ape. Its closest relatives are gorilla, chimpanzee, orangutan and bonobo. There are 15 species of gibbons that can be found in Southeast Asia (China, India, Burma, Malayan peninsula, Borneo…). Gibbon lives in dense jungles and tropical rainforests.

Gibbon facts

• Gibbons spend almost all of their time in the treetops of the rainforest. They even sleep there, resting in the forks of branches.
• Their dramatic form of locomotion, called brachiating, can move gibbons through the jungle at up to 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour, bridging gaps as wide as 50 feet (15 metres) with a single swinging leap.
• Because they are not able to swim, different types of gibbons are isolated in different areas by large rivers.
• When gibbons walk, whether along branches or in the rare instances when they descend to the ground, they often do so on two feet, throwing their arms above their head for balance.
• They are the most bipedal of all non-human primates and are often studied for clues to what evolutionary pressures may have led to human walking.
• There are 15 recognized species of gibbons ranging from northeastern India to southern China to Borneo. Let’s discover some interesting science facts that will amaze you.
• Gibbons are omnivores (they eat both plants and animals). Their diet consists mainly of fruit, but they also eat different types of seed, shoots, flowers and insects.
• Gibbons live in family groups composed of breeding couple and their offspring. Gibbons are monogamous (one couple mate for life) and they form very strong bonds with family members. Grooming plays important role in their social life.
• Gibbons are territorial animals that usually live on a territory of 25 to 40 hectares. They fiercely defend their home.
• Gibbons are highly intelligent animals. They can recognize themselves in the mirror. Also, they are able to communicate via various songs. Songs usually last 10 to 30 minutes and both males and females perform them. Main purpose of the song is to announce presence of the group on a certain territory.

What should you do when being bitten by cats and other random facts about cats right here

1

React calmly. Never hit, shout, chase, or lose your temper with a cat. You will simply terrify the cat and cause it to become nervous and confused.

Never call a cat to you and then punish it. The cat hasn't got a clue why you're responding negatively to him. In fact, the cat probably expects a pleasant response if you call it.

2

Remove yourself from the situation. The first thing to do is stop touching the cat and then hold your hands well out of striking range. If he doesn't calm down within a few seconds, stand up slowly so you can remove him from your lap. Walk away and do not return until he has calmed down.

Avoid soothing your cat after biting or scratching. Instead, signal your displeasure to the cat. After you've disciplined it, do not begin cuddling and petting him. This will confuse your cat and give him mixed signals. It may even begin biting you in order to get a cuddle.

3

Give the cat a way out. If you are trying to get from one room to another and a hissing, snarling cat blocks the way, look at the situation from his viewpoint. The cat believes he is trapped and you are walking towards him, which he perceives as a threat. He wants to run but there is no escape route so he must defend himself by attacking. The simple solution is to step aside, let the cat pass (which he will do at speed) and then go about your way.

Don't feed your cat for 20 minutes following a biting or scratching incident, as this might be wrongly taken as a reward.

The tuatara may look like a rather ordinary reptile, but it’s a highly unusual creature. This New Zealand native has a unique, ancient lineage that goes back to the time of the dinosaurs.

1. The tuatara may look like a lizard, but it’s unique. The tuatara is not a lizard; it is the only living member of the order Rhynchocephalia, which flourished around 200 million years ago. All other members of the order became extinct 60 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous period.

2. The name “tuatara” comes from the Maori for “peaks on the back.”Tuataras have spiny crests along their backs made from soft, triangular folds of skin. These spines are more prominent in males, who can raise them during territorial or courtship displays.

3. They are surprisingly long-lived. Tuataras mature slowly and don’t stop growing until they reach about 30 years old. It is thought they can live up to 100 years in the wild. Part of the reason for their longevity may be their slow metabolism. Tuataras can tolerate much lower temperatures than most reptiles and they hibernate during the winter. The body temperature of tuataras can range from 41-52 °F over the course of a day, whereas most reptiles have body temperatures around 68 °F. This low body temperature results in a slower metabolism.

4. They have a third eye. The tuatara has a third eye on the top of its head called the parietal eye. This eye has a retina, lens, cornea, and nerve endings, but it is not used for vision. The parietal eye is only visible in hatchlings, as it becomes covered in scales and pigments after four to six months. Its function is a subject of ongoing research, but it is believed to be useful in absorbing ultraviolet rays and in setting circadian and seasonal cycles.

5. They can regrow lost tails. The tuatara can break off its tail when caught by a predator and regenerate it later.

6. They have unusual teeth that can’t be replaced. Tuataras have a single row of teeth on the lower jaw and a double row of teeth on the upper jaw, with the bottom row fitting between the two upper rows when the mouth is closed. It’s a tooth arrangement not seen in any other reptile. And unlike all other living toothed reptiles, the tuatara’s teeth are not separate structures but sharp projections of the jaw bone. This means that worn down or broken teeth cannot be replaced. Older tuataras with worn-down teeth have to switch from eating hard insects to softer prey such as earthworms, larvae, and slugs.

7. Tuataras reproduce slowly. They take 10-20 years to reach sexual maturity. Males can mate every year, but females breed every two to five years. It takes the female between one and three years to provide eggs with yolk, and up to seven months to form the shell. Then it takes an additional 12 to 15 months from copulation to hatching, possibly the longest incubation rate of any reptile.

A male tuatara named Henry, living at the Southland Museum and Art Gallery, became a first-time father at the age of 111. He fathered 11 babies with a female named Mildred, believed to be in her seventies.

8. They’re diurnal when young, nocturnal as adults. Hatchling tuataras are believed to be active during the day to avoid the cannibalistic adult tuataras that come at out night.

9. They cohabitate with birds. Tuataras can dig their own burrows, but also use the burrows of seabirds for shelter when available. The seabirds’ guano provides an attractive environment for the invertebrates that tuataras prey upon, such as beetles, crickets, and spiders. Tuataras will also sometimes eat the eggs and young of the seabirds.

10. Tuataras’ worst enemies are rats. Tuataras once inhabited the New Zealand mainland as well as offshore islands. But when the first humans arrived from Polynesia, they brought rats and other animals that devoured tuatara eggs and hatchlings. The situation was so dire that the New Zealand government fully protected tuataras in 1895. Despite the protection, tuataras were extinct on the mainland and confined to around 30 offshore islands until the first mainland release of tuataras into a sanctuary in 2005. Three years later, a tuatara nest was uncovered, thought to be the first case of a tuatara successfully breeding on the New Zealand mainland in over 200 years. Along with captive breeding and release programs, attempts to eradicate rats from offshore islands have also met with success and allowed tuatara populations to rebound.

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 239,200 miles. The total distance covered by the the diameter of all the planets stacked next to each other is 233,865 miles. Plenty of room to spare! This is one of the most amazing facts ever.

Enjoy our rich source of science facts that can help you widen your knowledge. And now it's the time for Neptune facts. Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun making it the most distant in the solar system. This gas giantplanet may have formed much closer to the Sun in early solar system history before migrating to its present position.

Fact #1

Neptune is the most distant planet in the solar system.

Fact #2

Neptune was originally called Le Verrier’s Planet (named after the man who discovered it, Urbain Le Verrier. There were a number of suggestions about what to call this planet. And in the end, the man who discovered this planet chose the name Neptune.

Fact #3

Neptune has 13 known moons. The largest moon is Triton, one of the coldest places known within our Solar System. The temperature on the surface of this moon can dip down to an amazing -235 degree Celsius.

Fact #4

A Neptunian year lasts for 164.79 Earth years. Because of Neptune distance from the Sun, It takes 164.79 Earth years to orbit the Sun once. Neptune has a similar tilt on its axis as Earth does. This means that it has similar seasons as our does, only they last much, much longer. An average summer on Neptune would last for 41 years. This might be one of the most amazing facts in total that can better your knowledge.

Fact #5

Each day on Neptune lasts for around 16 hours, and 6.5 minutes.

Fact #6

The strongest winds that have ever been recorded in the Solar System have come from Neptune, with speeds at 2,000 kilometers per hour.

Fact #7

Some people believe that Pluto was once a moon of Neptune that broke away from Neptune’s gravitational pull.

Fact #8

Like Saturn, Neptune has three rings orbiting the planet. Two are fairly thick, while the third is very faint ring. These rings are smaller than the rings of Saturn and are made of dust. Do you believe that this is the truth, not just jokes for fun?

Fact #9

Although Neptune is smaller in diameter than Uranus, it has a greater mass. Neptune’s mass is 17 times greater than that of Earth’s, whilst Uranus is only 14.5 times greater.
