The kakapo is a critically endangered (the only) flightless parrot native to New Zealand. It's "defense mechanism" of standing extremely still when threatened may have something to do with its decline.

Additionally, it was voted the world's second ugliest animal. Jeez, what an unlucky fellow; it was barely beat out by the blobfish

One-third of food in the world is wasted. In developing countries, this is primarily attributed to poor harvesting practices. In more industrialized countries, consumer carelessness is blamed. I have a feeling this will change in this century with the advance of food scarcity.


A woman was bitten by a snake encased in a bottle of wine, recently. This process is the norm in China, where it is believed to have medicinal values (or at least monetary value from those gullible Western tourists). The woman is fine after being admitted to the hospital for treatment. You can't blame the snake, really. What would you do after being pickled for 3 weeks (months maybe? I can't remember.)


In regards to that food thing, here is this awesome website you should check out (IT HAS AVATARS AND YOUNG KIDS LIKE AVATARS SO IT MUST WORK) http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/gfn/page/calculators/. This website calculates how many Earths it takes to maintain your lifestyle; in other words, if everyone lived like you, how many Earths would be necessary to provide the resources we consume. The average of a United States citizen is 4.1. I got a 3.7 (yay?). You can find your national average by clicking around the site (F&Q will help[below the exercise].

What did you get?

mass starvation will resolve the food shortage crisis. All populations in nature that exceed the carrying capacity of the land, end up having catastrophic collapses at one point or another - bringing balance back.

Just for a test, I answered everything as greenly as possible, and it still said I'd need 3 Earths to fit me... ._.
