In the center of the Amazon jungle, scientists have recently found the largest snake species in the world. Presenter of TV wildlife shows Professor Freek Vonk made the discovery of a gigantic anaconda that had not been reported before. The enormous serpent was almost half a tonne in weight and reached 26 feet in length. There were four species of anacondas known up to this point, with the green anaconda being the largest. It was eight meters in length and more than 200 kg in weight. For size reference, Vonk weighs 100 kg and stands 196 cm (6'5") tall.

The Indestructible Roach: Masters of Survival and Surprisingly Social

Cockroaches. The word itself sends shivers down many spines. But beneath the revulsion lies a creature that's equal parts terrifying and fascinating. These six-legged survivors have been scuttleling around for over 300 million years, making them ancient roommates to the dinosaurs.

Here's what makes them so interesting:

Ultimate Survivors: A cockroach's resilience is legendary. They can survive for weeks without food and can even hold their breath for up to 40 minutes! Their hardy bodies can withstand incredible punishment, even living for a short time without their heads! This ability to adapt is a big reason why they've thrived for so long.

Speedy Eaters (and Not-So-Picky): These aren't picky eaters. Cockroaches will devour almost anything organic, from food scraps to glue and even hair. Their varied diet makes them excellent decomposers, helping break down waste in the environment.

Social Butterflies (Well, Cockroaches): While we might not picture them at a cocktail party, cockroaches do exhibit social behaviors. They communicate with each other through pheromones, and some studies suggest they can even adjust their behavior to fit in with the group.

Masters of the Marathon (Not the Sprint): While cockroaches might seem to disappear in a flash, they're actually marathon runners, not sprinters. Some species can reach speeds of up to 3 miles per hour, impressive for such a small creature.

Cockroaches may not be the most cuddly creatures, but their resilience, adaptability, and even social lives make them a fascinating study in evolution. Next time you see one , you might just have a newfound respect for these ultimate survivors.

Was extremely lucky today and got to go behind the scenes at Melbourne Zoo to help feed this guy, learn about his species and habitat and meet him up close! #melbournezoo #tiger #sumatrantiger #incrediblecreatures #summerholidayadventures (at Melbourne Zoo)

Sparrows(চড়ুইপাখি), in particular, inhabit cities in large numbers, so sparrows are among the most familiar of all wild birds. They are primarily seed-eaters, though they also consume small insects. Generally, sparrows are small, plump, brown and grey birds with short tails and stubby, powerful beaks. #sparrow #housesparrow #housesparrowsofinstagram #windowbirds #familiarbirds #seedeatersbirds #smallcreature #tinybirds #shorttailbirds #instagramstories #videostories #lifearoundplants #lifearoundus #smallspecies #incrediblecreature #dontcagebirds #freelifes #paperwaspinfo for more like this follow us @paperwaspinfo https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPpmDtF5ED/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=klsj2m1s26wz

(speechless) Swans only have one partner for their whole life and if their partner dies they could pass away from broken heart. #incrediblecreatures (presso Drilon, Pogradec)
