Fun fact: The peregrine falcon has inlet cones in it's beak.
Anything that goes supersonic needs one, or something like it.
The peregrine falcon goes so fast in a dive, that if it didn't have the inlet cones, then the air would damage its lungs.
And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That is so cool, mother nature is an awesome designer...
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteParallel evolution. Same body shape from two dissimilar creatures...
ReplyDeleteKinda like Kangaroos and Deer. Same basic position in ecosystem. Same general body shape. Well, except for the long legs on the 'roo. Both bounce around and can jump a tall fence. Both will kill your car quicker than a telephone pole...
"Both will kill your car quicker than a telephone pole..." Nice way to look at it, andrew.
ReplyDeletedeer taste better. trust me. as in trust me.
DeleteKangaroo tail is good, actually much like venison. The rest of the 'roo makes good cat food (though Aboriginal people will disagree.)
