Threatened species. British species - ARKive. A unique collection of thousands of videos, images and. Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth. With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade.
Despite appeals for support, just 85 of our 5.6 million users in 2018 made a donation. 3-D INSECTS. A running cockroach; move its wings and legs! All images were optimized and now navigation is faster. If you like real insects, you would love virtual insects because you can see them big without a microscope. Virtual insects are clean and have no smell, they will not bite or sting you.
And some times they look even better than real insects. Besides learning insects, you will learn new computer technology which is called virtual reality. Virtual reality is a computer interface that maximizes our natural perception abilities. There are two major components of three-dimensional virtual reality: Movement - our eye can easily reconstruct the third dimension if the object moves.
Science/Nature | Colossal squid goes under knife. The huge eye of the world's largest squid has been revealed by scientists dissecting a rare, intact half-tonne specimen in New Zealand. About 27cm (11in) across, researchers believe the colossal squid's eye is the biggest animal eye ever found. The 10m-long (34ft) specimen has also turned out to be female, surprising the scientific team.
Very little is known about colossal squid; only about 10 have ever been caught and brought to shore. This one was caught by fishermen in the Ross Sea near Antarctica last year. Scientists hope the dissection will yield new information about where and how colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) live and breed. Scientists examine the colossal squid in its saltwater bath (no sound) "These are truly amazing eyes," commented Eric Warrant from the University of Lund in Sweden, an expert on animal vision who is at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa in Wellington to take part in the dissection.
