Strange story-2 All the strange strange news of the world

Dhaka Times Desk How many strange things are happening in the world every day. But how many of these events we see? Today I will show you some strange events.

Flying squirrel!

How many squirrels do we see on tree branches? This squirrel is a cat species. However, their physical structure is completely different. Moreover, they live in trees. It wanders from branch to branch all day long. A squirrel's tail is larger than its body and hairy. There are also some squirrels that can float in the air. And they use this power to go from tree to tree. For this reason, squirrels jump from a high branch of a tree and then float into the void. Just as a boat is steered through the water with a rudder, woodpeckers use their thick hairy tails as a rudder. The tail is used for direction while floating in the air. In this way, after going some distance, the woodpecker descends at any nearby place. And at this time, the soft flesh under the feet of the squirrel helps him to come down smoothly.

The flight of lemurs

Many of the animals we see in zoos do not have their names memorized. Lemurs are one of the animals that can float. Lemurs are actually monkeys. Due to the physical structure, he looks completely different from the monkey. Lemurs have four legs and one tail. But the exception is that they have a little big skin attached from below the ears to the wrists of the two hands and the ankles of the two feet to the tip of the tail. And that's why they can float in the air like birds. Lemurs live in trees. Jumping from a tall tree, he spread all four legs and tail. And then the skin with which these are connected is spread. The lemur then becomes like a hairy kite. Like a kite, he can float his body in the air for quite some distance using the wind speed. Then again it falls down wherever it wants.

The smallest bat

We have seen a lot of bats but we have never seen such a small bat. The world's smallest bat is only 1.1 inches to 1.3 inches long. This bat will stick to one of our fingers. One weighs only 1.75 grams to 2 grams. It is named Kitty's Hog-Noose Bat. ie Kitty's pig-nosed bat. The bat looks brown or gray in color. The world's smallest bat is found in the Tenasserim Hills, Sai Yok District and Kanchanaburi Province in Thailand.

The biggest bat

We have probably never seen such a big bat. The largest species of bat in the world with a wingspan of 1.65 cm. or up to 5 feet 5 inches. It was named Bismarck Flying Fox. ie Bismarck the flying fox. It is so named because it is close to a dog or a fox in size. The bat is brown in appearance like a fox and has orange tufts on its neck. The world's largest bat is now almost on the verge of extinction. So the Bismarck flying fox bat specimen is preserved in the United States Museum of Natural History. You can visit anytime.

Bathing in the lake is prohibited

This strange lake is located in Turkey. The location of the country is also strange. Because one part of it is in the continent of Asia, and the rest is in the continent of Europe. Pamukkale is a strange place in a strange country. The lakes here are truly amazing. A small reservoir in a huge layer of white salt. People used to bathe in them. They believed that bathing there would keep the body healthy. Many people still believe this. But now no one can bathe there anymore. Because the Turkish government has banned visitors from bathing in the lakes to prevent environmental pollution. A careful watch is kept to ensure that the small lakes are not damaged. These lakes are about 2 million years old. Türkiye is an earthquake prone country. Many years ago there was a major earthquake that created many cracks in the ground. And then the hot water filled with calcium carbonate under the soil came out and began to accumulate above. But when water is heated, it becomes steam. That water also evaporated. Only calcium carbonate remained. Calcium carbonate is a type of salt. The accumulation of those salts formed the structure of the lakes. And then when they hardened, the rainwater pooled there to form these strange lakes. Don't forget to visit these lakes when you visit Turkey.
