An amazing tribute to video games.


The Ohio State University marching band is known for their amazing choreographed performances.
In early October, during the half-time show the Ohio State band wowed fans with an epic tribute to video games. The musical medley of iconic gaming tunes included Space Invaders, Pokemon, Tetris, Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Halo, Pac-Man and more.

Sound Quiz Answer!


For those he also thought it was a feline, I'm sorry to say it wasn't...
Check out this video (minute 1:03)




To my surprise I found out some time ago,
that some snakes (King Cobra and Rat snakes) are able to growl when threatened.

Generally a typical snake hiss has a broad-frequency span (~3,000 to 13,000 Hz) with a dominant frequency near 7,500 Hz, whereas the "growl" of the king cobra consists of frequencies below 2,500 Hz, with a dominant frequency near 600 Hz.)

Well, it will be next time!
Stay tuned for more interesting stuff.

Any suggestion or request you have for this section don't hesitate to make it!

Thanks to all and Aaron for participating!

The Kookaburra "Laugh"

Some of you may heard about a bird called Kookaburra...This australian bird has a particular "call" when it has to stablish its territory.
One bird starts with a low, hiccuping chuckle, then throws its head back in cacophonous laughter, often several others join in.
If a rival tribe replies, the whole family soon gathers with ringing laughter.


Here you'll hear just one kookaburra:




An interesting thing happens when more than one bird makes this sound.

The sum of both "calls" beat in a way that causes a hilarious laugh
...chek it out...











We hope you have enjoyed this post.
There will be more related to nature in the near future.
Have a great day!
