Scrunchies May Save Birds From Nature's Fiercest Predator - Your Cat! Kids News Article Did you know that nature's deadliest predator is probably lurking in your neighborhood? Odds are, you may be even harboring it in your home. Confused? We are talking about your pet cat. Though they may appear cuddly and innocent, they are known to wreak havoc on their local ecology, killing birds, small mammals, and reptiles at an alarming rate. In addition to being beloved companions, cats have been a preferred method of pest control for humans for thousands of years. In the United States alone, about 80 million homes house at least one cat, while another 80 million wander as strays. While cat owners don't have an issue with the felines taking care of pesky mice and rats, they certainly have no desire to lose the innocent birds that are chirping in their yards. Dr. Hall teamed up with 114 cat owners and asked them to "freeze" everything their pets killed for two years, with and without them wearing the brightly colored scrunchies.

It's Official! Chickens Are Smarter Than Human Toddlers First there was the revelation that roosters really do have an automatic built-in clock, alerting them to the time of day. Now, a new report claims that chickens are no bird brains - In fact, they are smarter then most four-year old human toddlers! The review which was commissioned by Britain's Happy Egg Company, was compiled using twenty years of research data. Here are some of the things University of Bristol Professor Christine Nicol, was able to uncover in her recently released report entitled 'The Intelligent Hen'. Newly born chicks can count till five! And that's not all - the newly born babies even seem to understand that just because an object has been moved, it is not completely gone, a concept that human toddlers do not seem to grasp until they are a few years old. Also unlike human kids and most adults, chickens are able to exhibit control when necessary. And, they also seem to understand physics, especially structural engineering.

Starfall: Learn to Read with Phonics, Learn Mathematics Revolutionary Mexico City Hospital Facade Absorbs Toxins From The Environment By Meera Dolasia on April 6, 2013 CCSSNAS-6Grades: 5-8Word Search ''Green' or environmentally responsible buildings that use minimal resources by depending on solar energy or recycled water are becoming increasingly common. However, the Torre de Especialidades Tower currently being constructed as an extension of a hospital in Mexico City, is taking that concept to a whole new level, with a new innovative tile that is capable of absorbing pollution from the atmosphere. The brainchild of Berlin-based Elegant Embellishments, the Prosolve370oe's beautiful quasi-crystalline shape is not only designed to look good, but to also, help slow down the wind speed and create a turbulence, allowing the air pollutants to be exposed to a greater surface area. Experts estimate that the 10-meter Torre de Especialidades wall will be able to neutralize the equivalent of smog produced by 8,750 cars on a daily basis. Resources: fastcoexist.com, inhabitat.com
