Want to know what the biggest organism on earth? Elephant? Not. Blue Whale? Nor was it. The answer is a type of fungus (fungus) called armillaria ostoyae or honey mushroom dihidup in the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon, USA. Fungi that live approximately three feet below the ground surface and a total of approximately 890 hectares and at least 2400 years old, and even more! Believe it or not, the organisms that live underground was not a bunch of mushrooms, but only one fungus alone!
If there's largest flower in the world, surely there are flowers with the smallest size in the world. Record holder for world's smallest flower falls on plants in the genus Wolffia species, a type of plant without roots is very small in the types of duckweed family (Lemnaceae) that live in streams and pools of still water. This plant is also regarded as a plant with the smallest size in the world. There are two species of the genus Wolffia, namely Wolffia soniapedro, the Australian species, and Wolffia globosa, a tropical species. Average plant species has only a size not more than 1 mm, with average weight of just 150 micrograms!
According to scientists, animals that have the loudest voice is the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus), who also holds the title as the largest animal on earth. Blue whale sound louder than the sound Harley Davidson. Even louder than the voice the loudest rock concert, and also more
louder than a bomb blast. How hard is the blue whale sounds? Sound is 188 decibels fish ..! This figure is equal to one million times the jet engine noise (which reached a level of 120-130 decibels loudness). Please note that the level of loudness in a logarithmic increase. This means that every increase of 10 decibels means increasing the intensity of sound up to 10 times. This is one reason for us all to be thankful that these blue whales live only in the sea, hehe ....
Let's talk about a strongest animal in the world. Speaking of the strongest animals, we often assume that the strongest animal is the elephant. But, you know that the African elephant can only lift a load with the proportion of 25% of the total weight? Try to compare it with a beetle rhinoceros (rhinoceros beetle The) capable of carrying as many as 850 times the total weight! In other words, the proportion of body weight, the elephant is still inferior to human beings capable of lifting loads up to 10 times his weight, even more.
Want to know the vertebrate animals (vertebrates), the smallest in the world? A kind of fish called the stout dwarf infantfish defined as vertebrate tiniest and lightest in the world. Fish that live in the surrounding waters of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, this length is only 7 millimeters! Actually, the fish from Australia that has a rival, that is a kind of fish that has a latin name Paedocypris progenetica found in peat swamps in Sumatra Island. These animals have a length of about 7.9 millimeters.
Tofu fish screens (sailfish)? Fish is becoming a favorite among professional anglers are apparently still a mystery to the experts the field of marine biology. This is because the movement of fish and delicious meat that is very fast and the rate of its displacement (migration) is very high. In addition, fish that have a Latin name Istiophorus albicans (for that was in the Pacific Ocean) and Istiophorus platypterus (for those residing in the Atlantic Ocean) is spread hundreds of miles from shore. Making it very difficult for experts to find their exact locations, the process of tagging (penomeran), and collecting data. However, recent research indicates that this fish really was 'fast'. Believe it not, 36 hours after laying, the eggs hatch directly! Not only that,
very rapid growth in their bodies, about 6 feet per year!
Almost all plants originated from seeds (seed). Did you know that the seed that has the greatest size and weight of the world is Coco-de-Mer Palm (Lodoicea maldivica) derived from the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean. Can reach 12 inches in length with a weight can reach 40 pounds. While the seed that has the smallest size in the world is derived from the orchid family (Orchidaceae). One seed weighs just an ounce reached 1/35.000.000!
