Ten animals that can regulate their body temperature in nature
On Earth, some animals are warm-blooded and some are cold-blooded. Warm-blooded animals, also known as arthropods, are animals that can regulate their body temperature without the help of the outside environment. In contrast, cold-blooded animals, such as snakes and crocodiles, cannot warm themselves up without a little help from the sun, while warm-blooded animals can use a variety of internal mechanisms to keep their bodies at a constant temperature. Let's take a look at ten animals that can regulate their body temperature in this issue, and there are even some you may never have heard of.

Scary parasites in nature
The actual iron nematode, although less than a millimeter in diameter, but the length can reach 40 to 50 centimeters. Unlike the vestigial sense of the iron nematode's soft body, its surface is wrapped with a hard cuticle, even if the host is crushed to death, the iron nematode can remain unharmed.

Why does the sun's beam shine on the ground in a radial pattern?
There is an insect with a long "nose" and a hard shell. It is imaginatively called a weevil, or elephant beetle. As the name implies, the weevil's unifying feature is a disproportionate beak, similar to an elephant's trunk, with mouthparts at the end of the beak. The beaks of different weevils differ in shape and color, length, and thickness. Different environments give weevils different morphology and habits.

How dangerous is a submarine submerged underwater when a tsunami occurs? Is it safer than a ship on the surface?
A submarine, as the name implies, is a special ship with the ability to operate underwater. Especially after World War II, with the development of submarine technology, submarines can be submerged for a long time. So how much would a submarine be affected if a tsunami occurred? Would it be more dangerous than a ship on the surface?

The Lost World
Ninety-eight percent of the earth is still untouched, especially these six terrible no-go areas. 800 kilometers away from the Indian mainland is the Andaman Islands, where the existence of terrible cannibals has been documented from ancient Rome to China since the second century A.D. In 1867, an Indian merchant ship with more than 100 passengers ran aground here, and the Sentinels, armed with spears, wolf's bane, and curve bows, brutally slaughtered these poor people like cattle. In 1880, the Indian official Maurice forced the kidnapping of six old or young Sentinels by force. The older ones soon died because they were infected with the viral bacteria of civilized humans, and the four remaining children were very lucky to return to the tribe, but no one expected them to bring about an extinction catastrophe. The deadly infectious diseases carried by the children caused the Sentinel population on the island to plummet from 5,000 to less than 200 today.

"Barefoot education" is hotly debated
I believe that many parents when they see their children walking barefoot are always worried that they will get sick, after all, Chinese medicine says that cold starts from the feet and some parents are also worried about germs, so there are fewer opportunities for children to walk barefoot and play. However, in Japanese schools, they create special conditions for children to walk barefoot, for example, kindergartens will carry out "barefoot education", by setting up sand or wooden floors for children to walk barefoot, what are the benefits of doing so?

What to expect from Egypt COP27 Climate Summit?
We are less than a month away from the climate summit COP 27th, which this year takes place in the luxury resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, in Egypt. This is the second time a Middle Eastern country hosts one of these summits. Morocco hosted the COP22 five years ago. However, since the last time world leaders met for the COP26, in Glasgow, UK, in November 2022, the world has changed a great deal. Russia has invaded Ukraine undermining Europe energy security; global inflation is at 40 years high, and we are headed to economic recession.

How Kenya is harnessing the immense heat from the Earth
rive along the dusty dirt road that winds through Kenya's Hell's Gate National park, past the zebra, gazelles and giraffes, and you'll see a plume of steam shooting skyward in the distance. Vehicles must sometimes swerve to avoid running over warthogs as they enter a vast valley dotted with dozens of steam vents – a factory of clouds.
