Most people are afraid of bears, but even more dangerous in Northern regions are Moose.  While moose aren’t necessarily deadlier in behavior than bears, moose populations outnumber bear populations greatly, so you’re much more likely to have an encounter with a moose.  In Alaska, moose outnumber bears 3 to 1, and they injure around 5-10 people annually.  That’s more than grizz...

Alligator attacks aren’t too common, but the threat of an attack is still real and absolutely terrifying.  With 80 teeth and a bite force of 3,000 pounds per square inch, it’s best to avoid getting between the jaws of an alligator as best as possible.  To make matters worse, alligators can swim at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour, whereas top Olympic athlete Michael Phelps can sw...

Many people believe that we humans are the only walking creatures with an unquenched desire to experience altered states of consciousness, but that simply isn’t true.

While a zombie-causing virus doesn’t exist, if we had to pick one virus that came close, it would probably be the rabies virus.

"Where did Coronavirus come from?" With the world's greatest pandemic since the Spanish Flu in 1914, this is a good question to ask.  Coronavirus likely began in another animal species, birds being the prime suspect. Via a mutation, it species-hopped over to humans, and now spreads quickly through humans.  Coronavirus may also be spreading to us via other animals species.  We spe...

Viruses such as the Coronavirus are fascinating and mysterious not only by how they’re so quickly able to spread across the world and cause pandemics, but by their nature of existence: Scientists can’t agree on whether viruses are alive… Or dead.

Cats are so cute, how you can you not love them? As cute as cats may be, they do cause several problems to natural biodiversity in nature.
