Perfectly timed photogenic pics of Cats

It should be obvious to anyone who’s ever used the internet by now that cats are simply wonderful. We love them, and that’s why we love taking photographs of them. And if those photos are taken at just the right moment, we end up loving cats even more!

Here are some shots which prove that cats are perhaps the most delightfully photogenic animals on Earth.

Oh, hey!

Oh, you’re taking a photo? Well, I’m flattered!

Well, I don’t like you much either!

Many things seem terrifying when you’re still young...

— But I’m already full, grandma!
— Eat it up, I said! Every last bit!

I have many skills which I can teach you, my boy.

...That’s enough work for now I think!

You have to take every chance you get!

Gimme gimme gimme!

True love.

Great Advertising!

The main discovery of the internet: cats can fly!

It’s time for me to go back to our home planet. Take care of the humans!

Evening exercises.

This is what I do when someone’s staring at me and my girl!

...Oops!

Surprise attack!

Levitation is easy, humans! Just focus your mind and body.

Scientist discover that Greenland sharks can live as long as 400 years

In a game-changing discovery, scientists have found that Greenland sharks can live for as long as 400 years! The record was previously held by the bowhead whale that can live for up to 200 years.

According to a report published in the journal, Science, researchers were able to determine that Greenland sharks, also known as gurry or grey sharks, grew only by a centimetre every year. An average Greenland grows up to be about 5 metres in length. This let the researchers figure out the shark's age based on its size. They also tested the sharks for "bomb pulses" of carbon-14, a heavy isotope that's left behind from nuclear bomb testing in the 1950s. "Who would have expected that nuclear bombs [one day] could help to determine the life span of marine sharks?" said Michael Oellermann, a cold-water physiologist at Loligo Systems in Viborg, Denmark, to the journal. 

Greenland sharks are known to be scavengers who eat pretty much anything they lay their fins on - fish, squid, other marine animals, whale, even moose. They are also frustratingly slow and take their own sweet time to do anything. Moving at an average speed of 1 mile per hour, they grow to be over 20 feet in length.

Comparing the radiocarbon dates with shark lengths, the researchers were able to find that one particular shark was 392-years-old! That means he was born in the 1620s. Insane, right? These sharks apparently live for so long that they don't even start mating until they turn at least 156! Imagine being a virgin for 156 years.

Did you know there is an Island in the Bahamas thats inhabited by Swimming Pigs: Pigs Island

Pig Beach also known as Pig Island and Major Cay and officially Big Major Cay is an uninhabited island (or cay) located in Exuma, the Bahamas. The island takes its unofficial name from the fact that it is populated by a colony of feral pigs that live on the island and in the surrounding shallows.

Exuma is a district of the Bahamas, and consists of over 360 islands. Near Big Major Cay is Staniel Cay.There are three freshwater springs on the island.

History:

The pigs are said to have been dropped off on Big Major Cay by a group of sailors who wanted to come back and cook them. The sailors, though, never returned; the pigs survived on excess food dumped from passing ships. One other legend has it that the pigs were survivors of a shipwreck and managed to swim to shore, while another claims that the pigs had escaped from a nearby islet. Others suggest that the pigs were part of a business scheme to attract tourists to the Bahamas. The pigs are now fed by locals and tourists and the island is unofficially known as Pig Beach by the locals.

How to get there:

Staniel Cay is the closest island with an airport and local tour guides readily available to make the short trip. Great Exuma has the closest international airport (Exuma International Airport) with direct flights from Canada and the USA. Nassau is approximately 77 nautical miles away, a 2-hour boat trip or a 35-40 minute flight
