Top 5 Bizzare Facts...Around The Earth !!

Some Time we look too far to find some amazing things. But if we look around us we can see so many examples of bizarre facts. It is truly said that we know all about the Solar system but we hardly know about our palm. So I have accumulate some bizarre facts which are surprising and as well as amazing too,around the world.

I'm sure that these can blow your mind.


1. An 11-year-old "werewolf" boy who desperately seeks a cure for his condition is baffling medical experts.Pruthviraj Patil is one of 50 in the world who suffers from hypertrichosis, a rare genetic condition known as Werewolf Syndrome.As a result his face and body is covered in thick, matted hair.But he is hoping doctors will one day find a cure for his ailment.


2. A prominent under-bite, scrunched face and floppy ears are the hallmarks of a winner.The winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest, that is.Pabst,The toothy 4-year-old Boxer mix rescued from a shelter by Miles Egstad of Citrus Heights, Calif., won the annual contest on
Friday at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Northern California.It was an upset victory for Pabst, who beat former champion Rascal, a pedigree Chinese Crested.Pabst's owner took home $1,600
in prize money, pet supplies and a modeling contract with House of Dog.


3. Meet Yoda, a household pet born with an extra pair of ears.Chicago, Illinois, couple Valerie and Ted Rock took the cat in two years ago after they visited a local bar, where a group of drinkers were handing the animal around and making fun of him.Since being adopted by the Rocks and after getting his picture posted on the Internet, the two-year-old feline has become an international media celebrity.



4. The spear entered Dave 11-moth-old Tabby's neck and came out by his left elbow. Lucky for
Dave, the cross bow attack missed his heart and lungs by a fraction.Owner Andrew Childerhouse said: "This defies understanding of people's minds. It is absolutely horrific.
Who would do this to a cat?"
"Dave is a very friendly cat so someone probably got very close and then let him have it."
Andrew Childerhosue said his two daughter were "hysterical" when they discovered Dave the
Tabby.
"The girls were hysterical. But Dave could still walk around and looked comfortable. There
was no blood showing from the wound."
"He was starving and very smelly from where he had been lying in his own mess."
Dave the kitten is now recovering after five days in intensive care.


5. A massive pig found at a remote cattle ranch or station in Australia's sparse north west Pilbra region has been found. The Feral Australian outback pig beast may be the biggest ever seen in the world.The giant pig is regarded as one of the biggest ever seen in the world. Pigs are not native to Australia and were first introduced to the Australian Outback by European settlers in the 18th century.The photo, snapped by John Anick a few years ago, has been doing the rounds on Internet blogs and chain mails for several months, as rumours circulated about the location where the massive wild pig was found and snapped.Reports say the giant big weighing in at 220 kilograms or 485 pounds was shot and killed from a helicopter eating the carcase of a dead cow.

I can only say that now it will be use as a piggy bank.

Amazing Deadly Dozen - Avoid At All Costs !

TOURISTS beware - here are Australia's 12 deadliest creatures. Avoid at all costs! Check out the list !

1. CONE SNAIL

This underwater snail has a tooth-like stinger which acts like a harpoon. It has enough venom to kill a human as it paralyses the respiratory muscles.

The cone snail's shell is pretty and colourful, so tourists often unknowingly pick them up.

Where:

Located in the coastal waters of Australia, cone snails live in mud, sand flats and shallow reef waters.

2. STONEFISH

The most venomous fish in the world, the stonefish is not aggressive, however its proximity to shores and ability to camouflage itself in coral makes it easy for people to accidentally touch or brush against.

It has 13 dangerous spines and a dorsal fin, and when humans are stung it causes death to tissues.

Where:

The stonefish is mainly found in the coral reefs, mud, rocks and sand of Western Australia and Queensland.

3. BOX JELLYFISH

This jellyfish has a venom that attacks a human's cardiac and nervous systems and if it stings you, you have virtually no chance of surviving unless treated straight away.

It's tentacles have the ability to sting even when separated from the jellyfish, making it a very dangerous creature.

Where:

Box jellyfish are more numerous after rain and move towards the shore in calm waters when the tide is rising. They are commonly found across the northern top of the country as well as Queensland and the northern Western Australia coast.

4. BLUE-RINGED OCTOPUS

The tiny octopus changes from a muddy orange colour to a vibrant blue when it strikes.

It has venom 10,000 times more toxic than cyanide and can kill in 90 minutes. The size of a golf all, its beak can penetrate a wetsuit.

Where:

The blue-ringed octopus resides in rock pools and coral reefs around the nation .

5. SALTWATER CROCODILE

With a jaw this size the crocodile doesn't need venom.

The largest reptile in the world, it is fiercely predatory and has the ability to keep its body concealed underwater until it's ready to strike.

Where:

These crocodiles are found on the northern coast of Australia and inland for up to 100 kilometres or more.

6. RED-BACK SPIDER

This spider hides in the dark corners of back sheds, wardrobes and gardens. It's venom blocks nerve impulses, causing severe pain, vomiting, muscular weakness and sweating.

Where:

Red-back spiders are found throughout the country, commonly in disturbed and urban areas .

7. FUNNEL-WEB SPIDER

The funnel-web sets up a trip-wire so it knows when prey is passing by, and its venom can kill a human in 15 minutes.

Where:

These spiders live in burrows or stumps, tree trunks or ferns. They are found in all states except for Western Australia, but primarily exist along the coast of eastern Australia .

8. TIGER SNAKE

The tiger snake's venom contains neurotoxins which attack the nervous system, paralysing the muscles and causing asphyxiation.

Anti-coagulants also in the venom causes heavy, uncontrollable bleeding.

Where:

Found in coastal environments, wetlands and creeks around Australia .

9. DEATH ADDER :

The bite of a death adder causes paralysis and can kill in under six hours.

If you're unlucky enough to step on one you've very likely to be bitten, with the death adder having the fastest strike of any Australian snake at a quater of a second.

Where:

The death adder is found everywhere in the country except for Victoria and Tasmania .

10. TAIPAN :

The taipan snake's venom is one of the most potent of all snake venoms.

They generally stay away from humans but defend themselves fiercely if cornered or threatened. It typically attacks repeatedly, injecting as much venom as possible into the victim's body. This is in contrast to most snakes, who typically flee after attacking.

Where:

The common taipan is found in the far north of the country, Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

The very rare inland taipan is the most venomous snake in the world, 50 times more toxic than a rattlesnake.

11. EASTERN BROWN SNAKE :

The second most venomous snake in the world, the eastern brown is responsible for the most deaths by snakebite in Australia.

In 2007 a 16-year-old boy and nine-year-old girl died after being bitten by eastern brown snakes.

Where :

Its tendency to stay close to homes makes it one of the most common snakes humans encounter.

This snake is found along the east coast of Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia.

12. GREAT WHITE SHARK :

The world's largest predatory fish, a typical specimen weighs between 700kg and one tonne and is 4 to 5 metres long.

Attacks on humans are rare, but few survive an encounter.

On average there are 15 shark attacks a year in the nation, with about one death each year.

Where :

The great white is found along the east and south-west coasts of Australia.

Unusual Camel Spider

The camel spider stories began to spread during the 1990-91 Gulf War. Now, with the continued presence of U.S. forces in the Middle East, the stories are becoming legendary .. Many of the stories on the internet are completely untrue. These creatures are (usually) not dangerous to humans. But, dangerous or not, these creatures are horrifying to encounter. I pity anyone who encounters one for the first time.

Soldier in Iraq bitten by a Camel Spider. Yes, they can bite. If they do, there is always the possibility of infection.

Camel spiders can move at speeds over 30 MPH, screaming while they run. Camel spiders can be as large as a frisbee. Camel spiders venom is an anesthetic that numbs their prey.

Camel spiders can jump three feet high. Camel spiders can jump three feet high. They eat or gnaw on people while they sleep. Due to the numbing effect of their venom, the victim is unaware until they awake. They actually aren't spiders at all, they're solpugids.. Along with spiders, they are members of the class Arachnida.


THE FACTS :

1. Camel spiders top speed - appox. 10 mph. Which is very fast.

2. Size: Up to 6 inches although many of our readers report larger.

3. They have no venom.

4. They don't jump. However, many of our readers describe them leaping onto their legs, etc..

5. Called camel spiders because they live in the desert.

They actually aren't spiders at all, they're solpugids.. Along with spiders, they are members of the class Arachnida.
