WHY do flamingos stand on one leg? It turns out that standing on one leg is really related to the heat exchange: the ratio of uncovered feathers to the body is such that the bird loses too much heat in the wind. For this reason, flamingos warm their legs by alternately hiding them in their plumage. This pose requires no efforts from them: a special physiologic device prevents bending of the supporting leg, due to which it remains elongated even without using muscular force.

WHY are watermelons, cherries and other fruits often the game symbols in slot machines and casinos? ⠀ The era of slot machines called "one-armed bandit" began in the U.S. in the late 19th century. But the government fought this business in every way, imposing fines and bans. The company Bell-Fruit Gum in 1910 to get around the bans set up the production of slot machines, which gave out very cheap chewing gum for each rotation of the reels. ⠀ Also, the symbols of card suits…

WHY do we hear a rustling noise inside a tennis ball? A tennis ball is not inflated from the outside, like a soccer ball, but from the inside, so to speak. Before fusing its two rubber halves, a tablet consisting of sodium nitrite and ammonia is placed between them. Sodium nitrite is well known to anyone who loves smoked sausages: it gives the naturally gray stuffing a delicious pink color and specific taste, and is labeled on the packaging as a "color enhancer" E250.…

WHY do dogs wag their tails or tuck them? ⠀ A gland responsible for its individual scent is hidden under the tail of a dog. It is where dogs sniff each other when they get to know each other and remember smells. They wag their tails when they want to introduce themselves, show their affection and spread the scent as far as possible.

WHY don't people have blue or green hair? ⠀ People have no green, blue or pink hair (unless of course you dye it that way), because we do not have a pigment in our bodies to color our hair in unusual shades. ⠀ Sometimes, the pigment melanin is not produced at all! In this case, his skin is almost white and his hair looks bleached. They are called albinos. ⠀ For this same reason, a person turns gray: gradually the body reduces the production of melanin, which gives the hair…

WHY can't kangaroos jump backwards? ⠀ Kangaroos are one of the best jumpers in the animal world, with a jump length of 10-12 meters and travel speed of 50 km/h. In order not to lose balance when jumping, the kangaroo uses its thick, muscular tail at the base for balance. ⠀ This tail, as well as its large feet, is the reason why the kangaroo cannot jump backwards. ⠀ By the way, thanks to this fact, the kangaroo together with the emu, which also can't stagger, appeared on the…

WHY are there 31 days in some months & 30 days in others? ⠀ Such an order was adopted according to the Julian calendar, 45th century B.C. The scholar Sosigenes, by order of Julius Caesar, created a new calendar, a new system of chronology, where the year was counted 365 days and divided into 12 months. Six hours remained each year and were added every four years to the last month of the year, February. ⠀ February was the last month of the year, so it just had the remaining…

WHY can't stars be seen from space orbit? They are visible unless interfered by sunlight. When objects illuminated by the Sun are in the observer's or camera's field of view, the eye or camera adapts to these bright sources and the other luminaries become invisible. But when the space station flies from the night side of the Earth, the stars are clearly visible to the naked eye.

WHY don't bats get sick? It's all about their immune system, in this respect bats are, one might say, unique. Their organism is a powerful machine for fighting the most dangerous viruses, although the immunity works just enough to keep the mouse from getting sick, but the virus itself in their organism never dies, rather adapts, mutating into more infectious forms. And so it turns out that a naive mouse lives and has no idea that inside it, as if in an incubator, there is an…
