Chimpanzees

We've all seen "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", but these guys don’t have to have super-human smarts to be dangerous. They've been known to rip the limbs and faces off of humans dumb enough to think that they would make good pets.

Giant Anteater

He may look like he wants a hug, but he’s more likely to disembowel you with his claws. These guys have been known to kill humans with one swipe. Even pumas and jaguars don’t mess with these guys.

Cone Snail

By the time you can say “what the heck did I just step on” you’ll feel paralysis setting in. And because there’s no cure for his venom and you can’t feel the sting, there’s a good chance that you’ll die before the venom wears off.

Mosquitos

Mosquitos kill millions of people every year by spreading diseases like malaria, yellow fever and dengue. That’s a pretty impressive hit list considering each mosquito only lives for around two weeks.

Pufferfish

It looks like the worst thing this cutie could do was prick your finger. But he’s actually the second most poisonous vertebrate on earth. Touch him and his tetrodotoxin poison will paralyze your diaphragm and suffocate you.

Why Is the Ocean Blue?

By Joseph Castro, Live Science Contributor   |   March 19, 2014

It's commonly believed that the ocean is blue because it's reflecting the blue sky. But this is a misconception.

The ocean is blue because of the way it absorbs sunlight, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

When sunlight hits the ocean, the water strongly absorbs long-wavelength colors at the red end of the light spectrum, as well as short-wavelength light, including violet and ultraviolet. The remaining light that we see is mostly made up of blue wavelengths.

Giants 01

Race of giants

In the Hebrew Bible, "Rephaim" can describe an ancient race of  giants in Iron Age Israel, or the places where these individuals were thought to have lived.

See:

• Gen 14:5, 15:20
• Deut 2:10-11, 2:18-21, 3:11
• Josh 12:4, 13:12, 15:8, 17:15, 18:16
• 2 Sam 5:18, 5:22, 23:13
• 1 Chron 11:15, 14:9, 20:4

In the biblical narrative, the Israelites are instructed to exterminate the previous inhabitants of the "promised land," i.e. "Canaan," which include various named peoples, including some unusually tall/large individuals.

See the passages listed above in the book of Joshua, and also Deut. 3:11, which implies that Og, the King of Bashan, was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim, and that his bed was 9 cubits long in ordinary cubits. (An ordinary cubit is the length of a man's forearm according to the New American Standard Bible, or approx. 18 inches, which differs from a royal cubit.) This makes the bed over 13 feet long.

Anak, according to Deut 2:11, was a Rephaite.

The area of Moab at Ar, (the region East of the Jordan) before the time of Moses, was also considered the land of the Rephaites.

Deuteronomy 2:18-21 refers to the fact that Ammonites called them "Zamzummim", which is related to the Hebrew word זמזם, which literally translates into "Buzzers", or "the people whose speech sounds like buzzing."  

In Arabic the word زمزم (zamzama) translates as "to rumble, roll (thunder); murmur".  

As in Deut 2:11, the Moabites referred to them as the Emim.
