Why do we forget things?

Why do we forget things?

 




There are various reasons why we forget things. Firstly, it can be because we are too busy with other things, which leads us to forget the things we have to remember. Secondly and most importantly, our brain is weak in recalling things. The brain becomes weak, and we become forgetful due to the lack of nutrients in our bodies. Hence one should eat a lot of leafy veggies and almonds so that you don't forget things!


Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa

The famous painting of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has no eyebrows. The image has been kept in 'The Louvre Museum' of Paris, France, since 1797.



The Longest Living Tree

The Longest Living Tree

Baobab tree lives for 4000-5000 years! Unlike other trees, baobabs do not have rings in their trunk, so radiocarbon dating is the only way to determine the age of a tree. Some of the baobab trees that exist today are even older than Egyptian pyramids!


The Humming Bird Hawk-Moth

The Humming Bird Hawk-Moth

Judging from this creature's names, it appears to be a combination of three different animals - a hummingbird, a hawk, and a moth! This insect feeds on flowers and makes noise very similar to a Hummingbird. Its wings and face, however, resemble a moth. What a strange creature indeed!





The Bush Viper

The Bush Viper

The Bush Viper lives in the trees of the tropical forests in Africa, and it does most of its hunting at night. This one looks as though it is covered in hundreds of spiky leaves! They are smaller snake species, with the maximum length being 78 cm!

The Blue Dragon

This crazy-looking creature is from the family of blue sea slug. The blue Dragon family can float on the water's surface because of a gas-filled sac in its stomach. They can be found in the warm ocean waters, and they look magnificent!

The Panda Ant

The Panda Ant

 

Ants can be pretty annoying but add some fur and panda paint, and you have got yourself an adorable insect! But did you know that despite the name, this species is actually a species of wasp, not ant? It is found in Chile and might look cute, but they have one nasty sting!
