How many percent % of our brain do we use?
The idea that we only use 10% of our brains is a common misconception and it's not true. In reality, we use all parts of our brain, and different regions of the brain are active at different times for various functions. The concept of only using 10% of our brains is a myth.

WHAT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE OCEAN?
WHAT'S THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL IN THE OCEAN? That's a great question and if you could ask a sea creature like a tiny damsel fish they might say white sharks are among the fiercest hunters in the ocean, that this animal is the most dangerous with their amazing swimming speed and rows of sharp great teeth. So they can be pretty dangerous to fish or maybe they would tell you a blue whale is the most dangerous and that would make sense since it's so huge. Blue whales swim through swarms of tiny creatures called Krill with their mouths wide open and when they do watch out they can swallow up to four tons of krill in a day that's more than the weight of three of these cars, and that's not all they eat with their mouths open like that they can sometimes accidentally swallow other creatures like fish and squid in the process.

THE BURNING OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF BRAZIL IN RIO DE JANEIRO
%National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro - the largest and oldest natural history museum in Latin America. It had just celebrated its 200th anniversary% when, in the evening on September 2nd, an electrical fire started on the ground floor of the museum. As the night progressed, it grew into an inferno that devastated the building and destroyed almost all of the collections it preserved. Within 10 hours, it was clear the destruction was immense: an estimated 18 million objects and specimens were turned to smoke and ash. Among the items lost were 30,000 artifacts from indigenous Brazilian communities, along with recordings of languages that no longer have living speakers. The entomology collection was destroyed when the floor it was stored on collapsed. It contained 5 million specimens, including a number of holotypes, which are the single individual animal on which its entire species is based. Without holotypes, future specimen identifications become all but impossible.
