    Study Notes

    Mysteries of Nature

    • Nature holds many unsolved mysteries, some difficult for scientists to explain
    • The Bermuda Triangle, or Devil's Triangle, is a region where ships and planes have disappeared mysteriously.
    • One theory suggests unusual weather patterns, including sudden hurricanes, cause crashes and losses.

    Bird Migration

    • Birds migrate thousands of kilometers between the northern hemisphere's winter and southern regions to find food and breed
    • Scientists believe birds sense direction with the sun, moon, stars, the land themselves, or perhaps other clues
    • Birds return to the same places each year using a combination of these natural cues.

    Whale Songs

    • Humpback whales sing complex underwater melodies that last for about 15 minutes
    • These songs include groans, moans, roars, and chirps, and both male and female whales sing
    • The purpose of the songs remains unclear

    Animal's Sixth Sense

    • Some animals may have the ability to predict impending natural disasters (earthquakes, cyclones)
    • Their behavior often becomes agitated and restless, and some animals run and make loud calls before the disaster strikes
    • Some zoologists and pet owners believe animals possess an additional, "sixth sense" that allows them to detect environmental changes before humans can.
