But despite their name, the mighty Everglades did not exist during the ice age. So what did pre-historic Florida look like? There is one place in northern Florida that has revealed more ice age secrets than almost anywhere else, the dark slow-moving

Could it be that drastic water shortage was the reason for the mastodons' epic migrations? Another big piece of this puzzle lies far out to sea. This is the ocean floor. But this isn't rock sprouting out at the bottom. It's wood. It's the remains of

Meanwhile, the ground sloth, like the mastodons, must eat most of the day to fuel its huge bulk. This may be the ice age, but by midday, temperatures soar, drawing another predator to the spring to drinkthe notorious saber-toothed cat. Most creatures
-So you had a tough year.-We have got that, yeah. It's been an incredibly bad winter, and that's companed with probably the worst summer we ever have had as well, last year. -So these boxes should be out, full of bees working. -Yeah, they have been b
The thing is bees are very sensitive to the weather. If the temperature falls below fourteen degrees or if it rains they just won't leave the hive. The nectar of the flowers is also temperature dependent. So if it's cold, there will be less nectar an
-Do we have any fruits?-No fruits. There's no fruits available today. -Perhaps some tomatoes? -Tomatoes? No, no. Absolutely no tomatoes. It's fruit pollinated by bees. Like it, enjoy your meal? -No, it's little bit dry, though. -Bit bland. -OK. You m
The first step is to try to really understand the enemy. Poor little bee. So Jean, where is it on this bee that? Ok. I think if you looked even with a naked eye. Just to the side of the abdomen. Yes, oh, on the belly there. That grape red colored. Ok

This whole process explains the distinctive shape of all solar systems including our own. The reason why you see all the planets going around the Sun in the same direction on the same plane is because they are all formed from the same belt, from the
At this time people very much believed that God had created a template for the heavens and he'd used pretty much the same template to create the society as well, and so with this as above so below belief, any change in the heavens immediately had hug
But when a star is born and starts its life story, scientists have discovered that something else very important can begin. The first person to get an inkling of the second story of creation was Nicolas C, the father of modern astronomy, an accidenta
Many regions within these clouds can stay like that for ever for millions of years until something happens, a trigger and then a star forms.The trigger for such a monumental event doesn't have to be much, two clouds conbine as they pass, or a distant
