October 11, 2010

Coral reefs are the world’s most diverse marine ecosystems and are home to 25% of known marine species, including 4,000 species of fish, 700 species of coral and thousands of other plants and animals. They are made of thin layers of limestone produced by organisms known as coral polyps and take thousands of years to form. Neat huh?

These Gorillas are big! In fact, they are the largest living apes! Males can measure up to 1.7m in height and way 160kg – that’s over 350 pounds! Just because these primates are big, doesn’t mean they don’t need your help. Within the Congo, the number of Eastern Lowland Gorillas has declined by 90% over the past 5 years, and only 3,000 now remain.

If I only had a brain! Did you know sea stars have no brains and no blood? Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their “blood” is actually filtered sea water.

To attract a mate, bowhead whales have developed very sophisticated songs. They produce two different sounds that then get mixed together. They also change their songs from year to year, never repeating songs from past years. Talk about a whale of a love song!
