Allah's creation - the world of animals  | | The Gecko is a type of lizard that lives in hot climates. Its most amazing feature is its ability to walk on vertical flat surfaces with ease. The geckos can easily climb even on glass with the help of the suction cups on the tips of their toes.
In addition, they have hidden claws in their toes. When they reach uneven surfaces, they let out these claws just like a cat and continue their walk.
The polar bear can run very fast on ice wif his levelled, hairy claws and non-slippery soles. Polar bears, with their thick furs hav a veri important protector in such cold polar weather.
A 10cm (4 inch) thick layer of fat prevents the cold from affecting them. This is why they can swim in icy cold waters with speed of 10-11 km/hour (7 miles/hour), for distances of about 2000km. (1250miles).
Allah has created polar bears, like penguin, so that they can survive in such cold habitats, and He has positioned them in the coldest parts of the earth, at the poles, the polar bear at the North Pole and the penguin at the South Pole.
Allah has also give polar bears a very strong sense of smell. Their sense of smell is so acute that they can easily pick up the smell of a seal hiding beneath 1.5 metres (1,6 yards) of snow.
In addition, it has an extra eyelid that is like a membrane. This membrane acts as "a pair of sunglasses" and protects them against snow-blindness.
Ducks can fly with speeds of up to 50km. (30 miles) per hour. In addition, they keep on changing direction to protect themselves from predators. When they need to dive into water, they do it so fast that it becomes extremely difficult for hunters to hunt them down.
The trunks of elephants contain 50 thousand muscles. When needed, these muscles contract, making it possible for the elephant to push even the heaviest of loads. The trunk, at the same time, can perform such delicate tasks as collecting pea seeds and cracking them open in the elephant's mouth.
The trunk, which is practical is so many ways, can also be used as a long finger, a trumpet or a loudspeaker. The trunk can hold about 4 litres (7 pints) of water for drinking or showering the body.
You may have heard these special features of the creatures we have mentioned for the first time. They all have very awesome features, dont they? These are only a few of the awesome creatures on earth.
There are thousands of animals on earth like these that you might have not seen or heard of yet. Well, could all these animals have achieved such interesting features by chance? Of course not! Allah is the One Who has created them with all these features and unique qualities.
Some creatures use the method of leaving scents to border their territories. For example, the gazelle use long thin twigs and plants, as well as a substance, which smells like tar, secreted by glands directly under its eyes to mark its territory.
This scent lets other gazelles know that this territory already has an owner. Reindeer, on the other hand, have scent glands on the tips of their rear feet. The substance secreted by these glands makes is possible for them to mark their territories.
Rabbits mark their territory with a substance secreted by glands on their chins.
What would u think if you saw a lizard running on water? You could say, "i'm probably dreaming." This is not a dream; it is reality! The lizard, named the basilisk, can run on water and it can do this extremely fast.
Flaps at the back of its feet allow it to splast the water. These flaps curl up when it walks on land. If it comes across any danger, it quickly gets into water and starts to run fast. Meanwhile, the flaps on the back of its feet open and provide it the width that will allow it to run on water.

| | | | | | | | 1. Adrenochrome (736) | 3 years ago | I'm not 100% sure on the origins of the animal world, but wholegeartedly concur that there are a great many beautiful, wonderful and surprising creatures on the planet. I have a particular fondness for 3 types of animal myself; 1/ The tortoise - such a wrinkly head and legs, they look like a very old man waiting in a bewildered way, for something, but just can't quite remember what! And, then they have a big shell to live in, in case they forget where they live. 2/ Manatees - also known as 'sea-cows', and thought by some to be the mermaids of mariners stories. These large docile creatures are just too friendly and cute for their own good. If they see a boat, they think it may be another manatee, so go over to say hello, and often get harmed by the propellors. They graze in warm shallow water, hold fins, and even kiss each other. 3/ The kimodo dragon - not as cute as the above 2, but quite amazing. Most animals have bacteria in their saliva (humans included) to help break down food, however, the mouth of this animal is so toxic it would burn through your skin, poison your blood and, ultimately, kill you. Quite bizarre. Thank you for sharing the beautiful imagery, and for a great posting. All the best.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | yea....all the amzing features is for them to love themselves and protect themselves.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | u kno, greylag geese can fly at high altitudes of about 8,000 metres (5 miles). this in in fact a difficult task since many creatures cannot breathe at such altitudes bcus of the deficiency in the amount of oxygen available at high altitudes.
This deficiency makes respiration difficult. That is the reason we can hardly breathe when we climb up a high mountain.
Flyin at an altitude that has a rarefied atmosphere, the bird needs to flap its wings faster.
In order to move its wings more, the bird wil expend more oxygen, which makes the situation even more difficult for it.
Howeva, these birds do not experience any difficulty even while they r flyin at altitudes at thousands of meters.
That is thanks to the special creation of their lungs, which make the most of the rare oxygen at high altitudes.
Functionin in a different way than those of other creatures, these bird's lung enable them to obtain more energy from the rarefied atmosphere. And this is one of the signs of Allah's purrfect (perfect) creation.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | The Squirrel: The Walnut Lover
Allah has given squirrels some of the veri interestin qualities. We r sure what u will read about these loveable lil beings wil also amaze ur frens.
Squirrels live mostly in da forests of Europe and north America. They r about 25 cm (10 inches) long. That is the size of two of ur hands. Behind them & often suspended over their backs r their tails, wide, upright & furry, and almost the same size as their length. There is surely a purpose why Allah, Who creates everything with a purpose, has given squirrels such a tail: Thanks to this long tail, a squirrel can jump from one tree to another without losing its balance.
The sharp lil nails of a squirrel allow it to climb trees w/o difficulty. It can readily run along branches, hang upside-down and move while in this position. A grey squirrel in particular can jump from the tip of a branch of another tree four metres (13feet) away. While jumping, it extends its fore and hind limbs and glides. Meanwhile, its flattened tail both maintains it balance and serves as a rudder to steer it. It can even experience free-fall from a branch nine metres (30 feet) above the ground and land smoothly on the ground on four feet.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | Like most other animals, squirrels do hav methods of communication wif one another.
Red squirrels, for example, upon seeing an enemy, shake their tails & Bgin to make excited noises.
Squirrels, who can run on high tree branches also use their tails for balance. They change their direction by rotating their tails.
The tails of squirrels serve the same functions as the rudder of a vessel.
The whiskers of a squirrel also play a major role in their keepin their balance.
When a squirrels' whiskers r cut, they cannot maintain their balance. This aside, they also use their whiskers to sense the objects around them at nights.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | Now, let's consider once again what these loveable squirrels can accomplish. U already kno dat squirrels can perform gymnastic moves in the air quite easily, such as jumpin from one tree to another w/o fallin and, furthermore, target tiny branches from a distance and skilfully hold on to them like a trapeze artist.
But how?
Well, squirrels can achieve all these feats by usin their hind limbs, their keen eyes, which make good adjustments for distances, their strong paws, and their tails, which enable them to maintain balance.
But, have u ever taught them how to use them?
Since it is impossible for a squirrel family to take a ruler and measure the heights of trees and lengths of branches, how do they measure distances as they jump from one tree to another?
Furthermore, how do they jump and bounce so fast w/o gettin hurt or crippled?
No doubt, it is Allah Who has created these animals together with the features they have and taught them how to use them.
Furthermore, squirrels possess all the necessary skills & physical attributes to reach walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts, the hard-shelled fruits that grow on top of high trees.
As with all other animals in nature, Allah specially created squirrels so that they can readily attain the kind of food they need.

r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | In winter time it bcums hard for squirrel to find food, so in summer they gather food to eat in the long, cold months ahead.
Squirrels r among those living beings that store food for winter.
Howeva, squirrels r very careful while gatherin their food. They dont store fruits and meat, the kinda food that decays quickly.
If they gathered them, they would bcume hungry in the wintertime.
For this reason, squirrels collect only durable dry fruits like walnuts, hazelnuts and cones.
| |
|
|
r6v33n6 (152) | 3 years ago | It is Allah Who gives this knowledge to squirrels at birth and enables them to take their nutrition. Here, we witness one of the attributes of Allah: Allah is "ar-Razzaq", that is, "the One Who continually provides sustenance to every living being He has created".
Squirrel store their food for winter by burying it in various places. Thanks to their perfect sense of smell, they can detect the smell of nuts covered by 30cm (12 inches) of snow.
Squirrels carry their food in their sacs & take them to their nests. In their nest, there r more than 1 store, most of which they hav forgotten.
Certainly there is also a divine reason for this, bcus in time the dry fruits forgotten by squirrels under the earth grow into new trees.
