11 Surprises Of Nature That Will Make Anyone Say "Really?" (Drunk Birds Are Totally Worth Looking At)

You’re sure to have seen animals, birds, and insects out in the wild before but have you ever wondered what their lives are like from their perspective? It can be a bit difficult to imagine, but it’s actually quite fun because they’re living organisms who, like us, have a daily purpose. For example, to fill just one small honey jar, 22,700 bees have to work for their whole lives. We gathered some interesting facts about the world around us.

Some flowers can melt snow by generating heat. They do it to get pollinated by the early spring insects. "Be the first one!" is a motto that can be used in the green world too. At least, skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), a flower of quite an unusual form, believes in it. This curious flower can change its temperature and keep it at 15°C-35°C. This ability is called thermogenesis. Cabbage can melt the snow around itself to make sure it's definitely the first one in the line for early spring pollination. It also uses a peculiar smell to attract more insects. © Judy Gallagher / Flickr, © Appalachian dreamer Follow / Flickr
