Most amazing naval ships & vehicles in the Unites States Navy! These interesting ships, watercraft, and aircraft assist sailors in doing their jobs! Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo The $2.8 billion dollar Virginia-Class Submarine is the very definition of versatile. Due to the large change to the class over the years, and the variety of missions they engage in, there is no set size, speed, or armaments for the submarine, but all of them are kitted out with a healthy supply of BGM-109 Tomahawk Missiles and RGM-84 Harpoons that can be fired from vertical launch systems or torpedo tubes. The $13 billion dollar Gerald R. Ford Class are the next generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers for the US Navy, to replace the current carriers, the Nimitz-class. The first was commissioned in 2017, with more gradually being built over the coming couple of decades until the replacement of 10 Nimitz-class carriers is complete. In size, they are similar to the ships they are replacing, but where they differ greatly is in the level of technology they bring to bear. The most notable of these is the electromagnetic aircraft launch system which has replaced the conventional steam piston launch system, but it also has a whole host of other improved design features to reduce operating costs, and increase automation. This has led to a reduced complement of just 2,600 sailors, compared to the Nimitz’ 3,300, as well as numerous operational improvements. #USNavy

,Amazing uncommon animals! These unusual and strange animals are not your typical horse, monkey, or cat Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo Though it may have bear in its name, this thick furred critter is actually a tree-dwelling marsupial native to the island of Sulawesi and other forests in Indonesia. The 15-to-20 pound Sulawesi Bear Cuscus can grow to a length of 2 feet on average, and has a tail that will measure close to the same length. These herbivorous mammals live in groups of two to four individuals, keeping adolescents safe in a natural pouch as the vulnerable species slowly scours for leaves and flowers to consume. The Eurasian steppe is vast biome containing shrub and grasslands and stretches from Bulgaria and Eastern Europe across Asia and into Mongolia. Checkered throughout this massive ecosystem is the critically endangered Saiga Antelope. This species of antelope isn't the largest, with a shoulder height of just 24 to 32 inches, a length of 39 to 55 inches, and a weight ranging between 57 and 152 pounds for adults. Still, this hasn't kept local populations from hunting them since prehistoric eras. While initially sought after for consumption due to the lamb-like texture and taste of Saiga meat, their horns have actually driven them to the point of being endangered. A traditional Chinese medicine relies on Saiga Antelope horns as a main ingredient, and poaching of the protected species remains a consistent problem with the horns selling for thousands of dollars each on the black market. The Bat-Eared Fox is split into two subspecies, residing within two separate regions of Africa. The virgatus subspecies makes its home on the Eastern coast of the continent in nations like Ethiopia, Sudan and Tanzania , while the megalotis version can be seen along the Southern tip of Africa in Zambia , Angola , South Africa and elsewhere. These foxes prefer to hunt among short grasslands, filling their diet with ants, beetles, scorpions, crickets and termites, the last of which tends to make up 80 to 90 percent of their diet. However, in desperate situations they have been known to turn to birds, reptiles, smaller mammals, and even truffles for nutrience. Because of their inclinations towards eating termites, they are not majorly threatened by most local human populations due to their role as a form of natural pest control.

,Top countries with the most dangerous shark encounters! These countries have the most shark human incidents in the world Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo More than 300 islands make up the archipelago of Fiji, a small nation in the South Pacific with a population estimated to be just under 1 million. The majority of these incidents took place near the largest of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, with encounters happening in the past 2 centuries. The ocean surrounding these islands just eleven hundred nautical miles away from New Zealand are so rife with sharks, in fact, that locals have turned them into an industry! The opportunity to dive with sharks in Fiji is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the nation. The country of Mexico is a popular tourist destination, with dozens of scenic beaches located along Baja California, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, and lining the Pacific Ocean. Around 35 million people visit this nation yearly, often flooding their shores for a relaxing getaway. But such heavy, habitual traffic to beaches can eventually attract the attention of some of the most vicious predators in the ocean. Throughout the 2000s, many surfers and swimmers had risky run-ins with bull sharks, tiger sharks, and even hammerheads. The Caribbean country of the Bahama Islands has had its fair share of sharks. Up until the 1980s, sharks seemed to occur here rarely according to data, however it is possible many more went unreported. At least 36 incidents have been reported from the island nation since 2001 The largest nation in South America is the 3.2 million-square-mile country of Brazil. The city of Recife, located in the northeastern region of Brazil, has been a particularly common sight for these treacherous incidents, with around 56 occurring near its beaches in the past 2 decades. The reason for the high activity in this part of Brazil owes to a deep trench that runs parallel to Recife's beaches as sharks will use it as a migratory route, often rising up to the shallows to hunt.

Billions of years ago, there existed a vast population of bacteria. But it was only an elite group of these bacteria that evolved to become humans. In truth, we are lucky to be alive. In the first of his CHRISTMAS LECTURES, Richard Dawkins explores the origins of life. Beginning with a look at our ancestry, he shows how the probability of our existence is very small. Becoming an ancestor is much more difficult than simple reproduction, and Richard reveals how our ancestors did what it took to survive and pass on their genes. But although some of our life must be devoted to perpetuating it, surely there must be more to it? Richard explores the role of art and culture in society, and examines how the capabilities of the human body have enabled us to accomplish complex tasks. When it comes to our understanding of the meaning of life, science is important. As Richard explains, science can help us uncover both when we arrived on this planet, and why we are here. Some people turn to the supernatural for the answer to such questions. Richard looks at the limitations of beliefs in the supernatural and uses a cannonball to prove why instead we should have faith in science and its predictions. -- About the 1991 CHRISTMAS LECTURES The world-famous evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins presents the CHRISTMAS LECTURES on "our own growing knowledge of how life grows up in the universe." Just as children grow up to be adults, so too does life gradually evolve on a planet over thousands of generations, to move from “nonliving simplicity” to become “living complexity”. Combining beautiful writing with a range of illuminating demonstrations, the series featured a variety of wildlife, a virtual reality Lecture Theatre, and special guests – including the late Douglas Adams reading an excerpt from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

This Creature Is Virtually Indestructible!

,The toughest creature on Earth! From the ability to enter a dormant state for up to 30 years to the fortitude to withstand minus 328 degrees fahrenheit. #8 Suspended Animation Tardigrades are incredibly durable. They can withstand a wide variety of hazardous conditions and thrive without issue. But in some extreme cases, the tiny water bears must rely on a hidden talent to continue their survival. Entering a state called cryptobiosis, the roots of which mean “hidden life”, these organisms are able to enter a type of suspended animation, which leaves them appearing deceased to the outside world. In reality, though, these creatures have lost much of their hydration and shut down in their bodily functions, dropping their metabolic rate to a mere .01 percent of its normal state. This is the same process Sea Monkeys endure, which is why adding water will make the otherwise dry organisms spring to life. Tardigrades can survive in this dehydrated state for up to 5 years or even longer in some cases. They even last even longer without food or water, surviving as long as 30 years...however, they still need a form of hydration at some point. As tardigrades enter this dehydrated state, they utilize a specific disordered protein to replace water in their cells, leading to the glassy appearance they maintain while in suspended animation. #7 Dry Migrations As tardigrades lose up to 99 percent of their bodyweight, the microscopic organisms revert to a stage known as a “tun”. Tuns are in the previously mentioned state of suspended animation, and with such little energy output, they become extremely lightweight and lose the ability to grasp onto a surface. This makes them susceptible to the hazards of nature as they become prone to being swept up in wind currents, only to be displaced in a fashion similar to seeds and spores. Once they enter a new habitat which can rehydrate and sustain them, a single tardigrade can produce an entire colony by themselves using a form of self-fertilization in a process called parthenogenesis. This form of reproduction isn’t their main method however as male and female water bears are capable of spawning offspring through combined egg-laying efforts as well. Each adolescent tardigrade is born already equipped with adult cells. Throughout their lifespan, rather than having their cells divide and multiply with maturity, their cells simply get bigger. As their bodies expand, these creatures will molt off excess layers up to 12 times during their lifetime. In females, who tend to grow larger than their male counterparts, the cuticles they shed can be filled with eggs, ready to be fertilized and continue the cycle of colony expansion.
