10 Strangest Defense Mechanisms In Nature
10. Flying Fish Click Here for your $750 PayPal Gift Card!! Although many organisms possess the ability to fly, fish are typically not thought to possess this trait. Fish that can fly can leap out of the water and travel great distances by flying or gliding. This is a defensive strategy to get away from predators. The flying fish's body is streamlined and torpedo-shaped, which aids in its ability to gather enough energy to break through the water's surface. The fish can swim as fast as 37 miles per hour (60 kilometers per hour) in order to escape the sea. The pectoral fins of fish have evolved into sizable wings that enable flight. When it emerges from the water, it can soar up to 656 feet (200 meters),using the fin on its tail as a kind of propeller. A flying fish was seen gliding for a record-breaking 45 seconds in 2008 in Japan.

I Want To Fly
The storm hammered at the bathroom skylight, lifting sheet metal with each gust of wind. Rain slanted across the windows of the house like a driving cloudburst in a speeding car. On the main floor wind whistled through an open window. A steady flow of water from the storm puddled inside on the painted wood and reached the edge in a thin line. It collected at the precipice of the window sill, bulging over the edge. Water breached the corner, and the over-sized droplet splattered on the tile floor below. One drop quickly became two, and the pace increased for hours as the rain intensified.

Autumn Story
After a period of gloomy rain, nature turns rich green and the sky is a deep blue, just as the soft pleasant bright afternoon begins to roll in and the courtyard starts to buzz with afternoon gentleness. The heads of the blossoming flowers float vibrantly in their various directions as a white fairy sways on the riverbanks in the distance. This unexplained occurrence signals the arrival of autumn.

What has the Eurokleptocene Got to Do with Me?
The Necessity for the Concept of the Eurokleptocene When hundreds and then, thousands upon thousands of half-starving and diseased Europeans landed on far-off shores, beginnning from the 16th century, no-one demanded a passport from them. There was no police force, or jail to keep predatory parasites out for the regions of the world whose flora and fauna, ad soil health, had been not only maintained but carefully improved over generations by Indigenous peoples.
