Fact #1: The mantis shrimp can see eleven or twelve primary colors and humans can only see three. Fact #2: A new study has found that these shrimp can see polarization which is the direction in which light vibrates. Fact #3: Most animals can see linear polarization but the mantis shrimp can see a very rare circular polarization. WHAT I LEARNED: I learned that mantis shrimp can see seven or eight more primary colots than we can and they also can see circular light polarization. The way we see color is by how fast the electric field in a light wave is oscillating. They think the reason mantis shrimp have circular polarization is because the stuff that they eat is transparent and hard to see. Scientists want to make it so we can see like that but circular polarization is so rare in nature that it might not be helpful.
Fact 1-A adult panda i captivity escaped from its home during the earthquake and has returned home.
Fact 2-More pandas escaped and the zoo cant find some of them.
Fact 3-The other pandas that escaped are still alive because people have seen them.
Pandas escaped from a zoo after an earthquake and one adult panda came back and is living in the zoo some are still missing but they are alive because people have seen them.
Fact #1: Only a dozen known. Some crystal, others smokey of colored quarts...
Fact #2: Believed to orginate from Mexico and Central America.
Fact #3: Many believes carved thousands of years ago by an an ancient Mesoamerican civiliazation.
It’s confusing to learn this, because some of the carvings could only be made by recent tools. Some scientists say that it is a waste of time. Some are skeptical, and are searching them. They do not know if they are real or not. All this controversy fuels opinions and it’s interesting knowing everyones opinion about a may be-fossil.

Science
Fact#1: 80 beach whales were found on the shore in the DAKARS YOFF neighborhood.
FACT#2:60 of them were able to be pushed back into the ocean by 20 of them were lying dead on the shore.
FACT#3: The whales seemed to be pilot whales.
Summary: 80 whales washed up on shore. 60 of them lived. and 20 of them died. I chose this because it was interesting.
largestest eye
fact 1.it has the worlds largest eye.
fact 2.the eye was 27 cm or 10.8 inches.
fact 3.this is the only intact eye ever found in a giant squid.
the squid has the biggest eye in the whole world and it is as big as a soccor ball and it was found in new zeland.

Panda
Fact 1: A captive adult giant panda that had disappeared during the May 12 earthquake has returned home.
Fact 2: But still two of the pandas have not been found yet.
Fact 3: They discovered that the other 2 are still alive because some said that they saw them.
I chose to use this article because I wanted to learn about the Pandas.
