Your average pineapple, peeled and cut makes about 4.5 cups or 36 ounces of pineapple chunks. Cans of pineapple come in a variety of sizes the most common being 20oz and 46oz. Meaning a single pineapple generally won’t fill up a single can perfectly, wich also means everytime u eat pineapple from a can somewhere someone else has the can that has the rest of that same pineapple. Meaning u can share a single fruit with a stranger from hundreds of miles away and I think that’s beutiful
Swirl Around Top (version 2): the magnetic tipped top stays on the perimeter of the steel plate template- but since the top has more mass than the triangular plate, the triangle moves in an interesting way. This kinetic art toy takes advantage of Newton’s 3rd law and rotational kinetic energy. Produced by The Toycrafter in the 1990s these tops are out of production but can often be found on eBay.
Mine is that a goblin shark can extend its jaw (thanks to elastic ligaments in its mouth) to grab nearby prey.
Thresher sharks like to whip their prey with their long tail to stun them before eating them
The first tiger shark pup to hatch inside its mother’s womb devours its unborn siblings until only two pups remain, one on each side of the womb.
I love sharks so much! Here are 5 of my favorites:
1. Puffadder Shysharks curl up and cover their eyes with their own tails, hence why they’re called such! They’re also very harmless and also really easy to pick up, but they’re shy, so!
2. Swell Sharks, as their name suggests, swell up. They’re also mostly harmless and many aquariums have them for petting (and because they’re so cute and when they puff up they’re super soft!).
3. Epaulette sharks use their fins to “walk” on water! They are also used to extremely low oxygen content in the water, increasing blood supply to its brain.
4. Pyjama Sharks have bodies that look like striped pyjama pants, they are nocturnal and like to sleep in kelp beds! They also curl up hiding their eyes with tails like Shysharks.
5. The Greenland Shark lives deep in the cold northern ocean and can live for over 300 years, making it the longest-lived vertebrate, as well as one of the largest existing spieces of sharks.
