Real-Life Jurassic Park Experience

We know how dinosaurs looked like, and some of us have seen skeletons of them at museums, but how cool would it be if we could see life sized models of them? That actually exists, believe it or not. In “Valle de la Prehistoria” that is located near the city of Santiago de Cuba there are life-sized dinosaur models. When you enter the place or the park you can see hundreds of dinosaurs.

It’s just like being in Jurassic Park, because the Valle de la Prehistoria is huge, around 11 hectares of land. It includes 227 sculptures that represent 59 dinosaur species. Felines, mammoths and cavemen are also to be found in the park.

The Blue Mysterious Town

The world is full of cities with strange nicknames and one of them is the Blue City of India that is also known as Jodhpur. It got that name because every little building and house in this fortress city is painted in a blue color, so from above it looks like a blue spot in the middle of the Thar desert. It is still unknown why they all painted in the color blue but some will say that it has something to do with the caste system in India.

It all started when the members of the priesty class that is called Brahmins painted their houses blue to separate themselves from the others. But after a while everybody started doing it. If you ask a local why the color blue they will tell you that this color keeps away mosquitoes, which is a strange answer that makes no sense.

Gorgeous Auroras Borealis

The auroras exist in the outmost layer of the atmosphere. They are created by electrically charged particles that make the thin air shine, not unlike a fluorescent light. They can be seen in auroral belts that forms 20-25 degrees around the geomagnetic poles, both the north and the south. The Northern Lights, also called Aurora Borealis (Southern lights or Aurora Australis in the southern hemisphere), are one of the most spectacular shows on this earth. Sometimes they cover almost all of the sky and seem to be dancing around with such grace and speed that one can only watch in awe.

When the Sea Freezes…

Where does this Bridge leads to?

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is a roadway bridge in eastern China’s Shandong province. It transects Jiaozhou Bay, connecting Huangdao District, the city of Qingdao and Hongdao Island (the bridge is “T” shaped with 3 entry/exit points). Opened on 30 June 2011, it reduces the road distance between Qingdao and Huangdao. The bridge opened at the same time as the nearby Qing-Huang Tunnel, both part of the Jiaozhou Bay Connection Project.

Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is 42.5 kilometres (26.4 mi) long, making it according to Guinness World Records the world’s longest bridge over water (aggregate length) as of July 2011. The longest bridge over water “continuous length” is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, the difference being the later runs continuously over water while Jiaozhou Bay Bridge has parts over land. It is estimated Jiaozhou Bay Bridge is over water for 25.5 kilometres (15.8 mi).

The Barreleye Fish

The fascinating aspect of the barreleye fish is the tubular eyes which are excellent at collecting light at depths up to 2500m. The puzzling part is that the eyes appear to be fixed in place directly above its head. This had baffled physiologists for decades because it would be almost impossible for the fish to look for food. Recently scientists using a remotely operated vehicle studied the fish at depths ranging from 600-800 meters. They discovered a previously unknown fact, the tubular eyes exist behind a transparent fluid filled dome and the eyes can rotate within a transparent shield that covers the fish’s head. This allows the fish to peer up at potential prey or focus forward to see what it is eating. The Barreleye Fish was first discovered in 1939 but the transparent nature of the fish wasn’t known because when the fish was caught in nets at a different depth of water the see through part is destroyed.

Keep in mind when you look at the above picture that the two small holes in front of the fish are not eyes. The eyes are the two green domes inside the top of the head.
