Seruling ular

Semasa dalam perjalanan ke Amber Fort, terdapat gelagat 2 orang pakcik yang mencurigakan di tepi jalan.
Sabah meminta Mr Harith memarkirkan traveller tempo di tepi jalan untuk menyaksikan apa yang dilakukan oleh mereka.
Rupa2,mereka bermain ular dengan seruling!!


Semua kaget dan teruja.
Namun ini satu peluang keemasan yang jarang diperoleh.
Semua menunjukkan minat yang tinggi.

Sabah menunjukkan bakat bermain rekorder

Aku mula berminat dan berlari anak
Ketika ini,ular sebelum di'cekik' Athirah Balqis

Giliran ular menari mendengar melodi indah dariku

Aksi berani mati.
Sabah mencium ular

Selepas pelbagai aksi ditunjukkan,ular itu mengalami perubahan mendadak.
Ular terus 'mati'..
Pakcik itu bermain seruling dengan irama yang sepatutnya.
Tetapi,ular itu terus lesu..
Semua diam membisu.
Apa lagi,kitorang semua terus cabut lari!!!

Ular selepas itu...

The world's only immortal animal

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.

Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).

The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders,which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.

Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters. "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.
