For us “looking at the sky” is a very normal thing and there is nothing particularly surprising or moving about this.
However, a 28-year-old female chimpanzee“Vanilla”For me it’s different.
Since she was born she has been kept for research purposes, so she has spent her entire life in a cage and has never seen the sky.
However, in June this year, the research institute he belonged to closed its doors and he was welcomed into a new shelter, allowing him to finally look up at the sky for the first time in his life.
That touching moment was captured on video and became a hot topic around the world.
Until then, Vanilla had been kept in a dark enclosure, slowly wandering the lush prairie and gazing up at the blue sky again and again.
Seeing blue skies every day is not something we take for granted and it could be a blessing in disguise.

Even though they live in different worlds, humans and animals sometimes communicate with each other.
Marine biologists from the University of Western Australia (UWA) spent six years collecting parasites from the skin of 72 whale sharks living in coral reefs off the coast of Australia.
The goal is to indirectly determine what whale sharks eat by examining chemicals in their skin and parasites.
Divers regularly approach whale sharks and use plastic knives to scrape copepod parasites from their mouths and fins, but this is no easy task.
Whale sharks appear to swim slowly, but they are fast enough for humans.
However, as the investigation continued, strange changes began to appear.
AsWhale sharks can now slow their swimming speed or stop altogether when divers approach them with familiar gathering gear.AND.
Removing parasites is also beneficial to whale sharks, which may be why they accept divers as “cleaners.”

3rd place: If you raise grasshoppers in a “3x gravity environment”, their exoskeleton will become more powerful! However, if it is 5 times or more…

The planet Vegeta that appears in Dragon Ball has 10 times the gravity of Earth, so the Saiyans who grew up in that environment had far greater physical abilities than Earthlings.
However, it turns out that Earth-born grasshoppers can perform the same gravitational training as Saiyans.
In a study conducted at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences (BUAS) in Germany,Grasshoppers raised in a gravity chamber develop stronger legs in just two weeksIt became clear.
Notably, after being exposed to 3G gravity for two weeks, the strength of the grasshopper’s exoskeleton and legs was maximized, giving it a robust and indestructible body.
However, when it comes to 5G and 8G, it becomes weaker and the death rate increases.
Maybe I don’t have enough training to resist 5x or 8x gravity yet…

2nd place: “Ryushika” worth 77 million yen found in a sperm whale!

The body of a whale sometimes becomes a “treasure chest”.
In July this year, the body of a large sperm whale, approximately 13 meters long, was found on the beach of the Spanish island of La Palma.
When the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC) and others conducted an autopsy, they discovered thisA giant dragonfly with a diameter of 60 centimeters and a weight of 9.5 kilograms was discovered.AND.
Ryuseika is a concretion that can only be harvested from the intestines of sperm whales and is marketed as a rare fragrance due to its unique scent.
When we evaluated the dragonfly incense we found this time, we found its price500,000 euros or more (approximately 77 million yen)reached up.

In August this year, a swordfish that appeared to have been machine-gunned into a beehive was recovered from the waters off northeastern Australia.
According to the fisherman who discovered it, it contained the body of the swordfishThere were dozens of circular holes that appeared to have been gouged with a large spoon.This is what it means.
Although he was still breathing when we picked him up, his wound continued to bleed and he died shortly after.
It was clearly a scar from someone’s attack, but was it the work of a monster?
However, from an expert’s point of view, the identity of the culprit was obvious.
his name is“Scientific name: Isistius brasiliensis”AND.
Daruma sharks are small, measuring 30 to 50 centimeters in length, but they have a cookie cutter mouth and bite into the bodies of their prey and twist their bodies to cut the flesh of their prey.
Furthermore, the mackerel shark is a fearless fish.Even the largest whales and great white sharks will bite without hesitation.This is what it means.
It seems likely that this swordfish was attacked by a group of swordfish sharks.
