Penguin P**p Bombs 💩

Penguins can shoot their p**p across great distances, up to about twice their body lengths, and scientists calculated exactly how much force they require to do so. The team specifically looked at Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti), which spew their f***s in a graceful arc from their nests on high ground.

They calculated that the pressure generated in the penguins’ rectums was as much roughly 4 pounds per square inch (28.2 kilopascals). That means the powerful p**pers can fling their f***s at about 5 mph (8 km/h) and up to roughly 53 inches (134 centimeters) away.

The “Socratia Exorhiza” palm is unique because it moves from one place to another until it reaches more sunny places.
And the way of its movement is that new roots grow in the foreground, and the old ones die and are displaced from their place
The distance covered in a year may be 20 metres.
It is found in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.

Singing Sand Dunes

Around 20% of the Earth is covered by deserts, and many have dunes. Sand dunes are created when sand piles up on a large scale after being carried by the wind. These dunes come in various types depending on the shape of the pile.

Certain sand dunes produce a distinct low-frequency noise described as 'singing,' 'humming,' or 'booming.' These sounds hum at a frequency resembling a cello's musical notes or an aircraft's droning sound. They can last up to 15 minutes and be heard up to 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) away.

This is a Sailing Stone on Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, Calif. In one of the hottest and driest places on earth, these stones (some 30lbs.) move across the ancient lakebed without human or animal intervention.
It occurs when large ice sheets a few millimeters thick form on the surface. Frozen during cold winter nights, these thin, floating ice panels are driven by wind and move the stones.
Their movement is tracked by the gouges they leave in the sediment..

The Sailing Stones of Death Valley

Sailing stones (also called sliding rocks, walking rocks, rolling stones, and moving rocks) are part of the geological phenomenon in which rocks move and inscribe long tracks along a smooth valley floor without animal intervention.

The movement of the rocks occurs when large, thin sheets of ice floating on an ephemeral winter pond break up in the sun. Trails of sliding rocks have been observed and studied in various locations, including Little Bonnie Claire Playa, in Nevada, and most famously at Racetrack Playa, Death Valley National Park, California, where the number and length of tracks are notable.
