This is (Datura spp.), a toxic plant, found in tropical and subtropical regions. Every part of it including the seeds, leaves, flowers and fruit contains potent alkaloids such as atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which can affect the nervous system.
Some people once took it in my presence at a gathering after they claimed they soaked it inside palm wine for two days, minutes later, they started misbehaving, a few of them were even rushed to the hospital.

Yes, Nigeria once had wild rhinos, but they were driven to extinction by poaching. Their disappearance is a warning that elephants, buffaloes and other rare/unpopulated wildlife could face the same fate if conservation efforts are not strengthened. Protecting habitats and enforcing anti-poaching laws are essential to preserving Nigeria’s remaining wildlife.

Look closer. Can you see some faint spot marks on their bodies? Lion cubs are born with these spots but they start disappearing as the lion reaches adulthood.

No known animal has the body structure or wing anatomy of the mythical dragons described in folklore. The flying object seen over Glasgow was a sophisticated animatronic created for entertainment and promotion and not a living creature.

Science relies on observable evidence and to date, there is no credible scientific evidence that dragons have ever existed as real animals.

Cats have reflexes of about 20–70 milliseconds, making them among the quickest reacting mammals. In comparison, many snakes can launch a strike in about 50–100 milliseconds, depending on the species. A cat’s rapid reflexes often help it dodge or interrupt a snake’s attack, but large venomous snakes can still pose a serious threat.

It’s a garter snake (Thamnophis spp.) is a small, nonvenomous snake commonly found across North America.
It is easily recognized by the yellow, green or white stripes running along its body.
Garter snakes feed on earthworms, frogs, fish, insects and small rodents, helping control pest populations.

[Arojinle @arojinle1]

It's a garter. It is harmless to humans

Vine snakes are slender, tree-dwelling snakes that use excellent camouflage to blend in with vines and branches. They are rear-fanged and venomous, but their venom is usually mild and mainly helps them catch small prey. Most bites to humans cause only localized pain and swelling rather than severe bleeding. Claims that vine snakes make people bleed from everywhere are exaggerated and more typical of snakes like the boomslang. While there is no specific antivenom for most vine snakes, serious human envenomation is uncommon. As with any wild snake, the safest approach is to observe from a distance and never attempt to handle one.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that the queen rules the hive, but in reality, she doesn’t command the workers coz they know what to do, her primary job is to lay eggs and produce pheromones that help keep the colony organized.

Worker bees make nearly every important decision from choosing new nest sites through collective voting, regulate the hive’s temperature, defend the colony, forage for nectar and pollen and even decide when it’s time to replace the queen.

If the queen becomes old, injured or stops laying enough healthy eggs, the workers don’t hesitate…they raise a new queen by feeding selected larvae with royal jelly, ensuring the colony’s survival comes before any individual.

Wonderful huh??

[Arojinle @arojinle1]

Let me start with this? If humans were bees, there won't be corruption. As a queen (leader) in a bee colony, you're like a chief servant. She is only allowed to take actions that makes the colony progress and flourish. If for any reason, a queen bee becomes corrupted (genetically) and does anything (not knowingly)that is detrimental to the growth of the hive, she get killed by the worker bees. A new queen is then raised.

If for any reason, the queen is incapacitated and isn't fit again, she is killed and a new queen is raised.

The workers are diligent and serve the colony with all their powers. They serve the queen too and will protect her with their lives, as long as she's still good for the colony.

Also, I leant the importance of eating good nutritious food from honey bees. I'm working on an article that will expose food as a very powerful tool, in a dimension that most people haven't seen, very soon.

Did you know that a teaspoon of honey is the life work of 12 honey bees? Also, real honey doesn't spoil.

More to come.
