The Word “Equestrian”—and Even The Latin Variant of "Horse"—Can Be Traced to These Early Europeans! New evidence from ancient skeletons (above) shows the earliest signs of horseback riding among these humans, who giddy-upped some 5,000 years ago. These early cowpokes, thundering through present-day Europe, didn't look like Annie Oakley or John Wayne—but they likely used horses for advantages in herding, exploration, and trading.

Cogumelos brilhantes e tatu que toma banho são destaques em aventura no sul de SP

Terra da Gente desbrava a área da Reserva Betary, em Iporanga; De dia ou de noite registros na mata impressionam. Durante a aventura a equipe garantiu flagrantes da fauna típica da Mata Atlântica Terra da Gente Quem observa a natureza sabe que o amanhecer do dia sempre reserva muitas surpresas. A passarada se agita e a luz do sol enche de cor a mata. Mas basta uma aventura noturna para entender que a escuridão também guarda muita beleza e alguns tesouros. Foi o que a equipe do Terra da Gente descobriu na Reserva Betary, em Iporanga (SP). Considerada a maior área remanescente de Mata Atlântica do Brasil o lugar abriga algumas raridades. De dia, cortejos apaixonados de beija-flores chamam a atenção dos aventureiros. À noite as câmeras escondidas na mata revelam o BBB da bicharada. O destaque fica com o flagrante de um tatu tomando banho. Acompanhados de pesquisadores, vamos em busca de cogumelos que brilham no escuro Henrique Domingos/IPBio Brasil Mas o que faz essa área ser conhecida até internacionalmente é o fato dela abrigar a maior concentração de cogumelos brilhantes do mundo. Numa saída pela mata os pesquisadores fazem uma verdadeira varredura para achar esses organismos que podem ser minúsculos. Quando eles são encontrados não há como não se encantar. Mas por que será que o cogumelo brilha? Será que eles têm alguma relação com os vaga-lumes? Descubra tudo com o Terra da Gente neste sábado (17/04), às 14h, na EPTV.

I just spent a month volunteering in Brazil at IPBio Research Centre in Iporanga. I was volunteering as a research assistant and they gave us many exciting projects to work on! One of the projects they had us working on, particularly when it was a rainy day, was making these crafts out of old petri dishes. One of the things the centre studies is bioluminescent mushrooms, and so they had the idea…
