1. You can hear a tiger roar over a mile away!

2. A tiger can eat 100 pounds of meat a night! Compare that to 400 hamburgers! They need a lot of food because they go days between meals.

3. Tigers mark their territories by spraying bushes and trees with a special mixture of urine and scent gland secretions. They also leave scratch marks on trees.

4. A tiger's paw prints are called pug marks.

5. Tigers can see in the dark six times better than humans can. They can also see in color.

6. No one knows exactly why tigers are striped, but scientists think that the stripes act as camouflage, and help tigers hide from their prey. The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes of all the tiger subspecies, and the Siberian tiger has the fewest stripes. Tiger stripes are like human fingerprints; no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes.

7. Tigers have been known to reach speeds up to 65 kph (40 mph).

8. Tigers that breed with lions give birth to hybrids known as tigons and ligers.

9. Many subspecies of the tiger are either endangered or already extinct. Humans are the primary cause of this through hunting and the destruction of habitats.

10. Rare white tigers carry a gene that is only present in around 1 in every 10000 tigers.

SPACE FUN FACTS

1.Despite its serene appearance when viewed from Earth, the energy produced from the Sun is so strong that every second its core releases the equivalent of 100 billion nuclear bombs.

2.The next time you’re cloud watching, ponder this: by studying the skies, you are essentially staring into history. Why? The light you presently enjoy travels from distant stars and galaxies takes hundreds, thousands and sometimes millions of years to reach us.

3. In 2004, astronomers discovered a star made entirely of diamonds. The crystallized white dwarf measures over 2,400 miles across and is composed of 10 billion trillion trillion carats. Unfortunately for treasure hunters, though, it is also 50 light years from Earth.

4.If you consider yourself “vertically challenged,” you should consider becoming an astronaut. The path toward realizing said career is a long one, but since the lack of gravity in space allows for the elongation of the spine, you would grow two inches while floating in the Milky Way.

THE POWER OF GREEN !! =D

Personality Color Green

While you may not exhibit all the character traits of a personality color green as listed here, if your favorite color is green you will find yourself somewhere in the description. You may also find you exhibit some of the negative traits, particularly when you are stressed.

With a personality color green you are a practical, down-to-earth person with a love of nature.
You are stable and well balanced or are striving for balance - in seeking this balance, you can at times become unsettled and anxious.
Having a personality color green means you are kind, generous and compassionate - good to have around during a crisis as you remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved.
You are caring and nurturing to others - however you must be careful not to neglect your own needs while giving to others.

You are intelligent and love to learn - you are quick to understand new concepts.
With a personality color green you have a great need to love and to be loved and you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve- you are an open book who doesn't hide his/her feelings.
You have a need to belong - greens are the joiners of social groups - you are at home in any social situation as you are gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do.
You are a good citizen and like to be involved in community groups.
You have high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to you.
You like to be accepted, appreciated and admired for the good you do in the community as well as in your family life.
You are a loyal friend and a faithful partner, gentle but not passionate.
It is difficult for you to feel great passion as your need is for balance and peace, not action.
You are strong-willed and do not like to be told what to do by others. You do like to win arguments and do not concede defeat easily.
You can have a tendency to gossip, which is connected to your need to belong.
You love food and find it hard to lose weight.
You are not a risk-taker and not action orientated, rather more of an observer. You love to sit in a café and watch the world go by.
You are business orientated and love to work in your own business. Money is important to you but you are generous.
Detail bores you. You process information quickly and prefer to develop an idea, organize a plan and then delegate the rest to someone else. Ideas flow quite easily but you are not good at executing them.
You accumulate possessions but they are usually of high quality and high price.
You make an excellent counselor, psychologist, social worker as you are a good listener and can view others problems with empathy, clarity and a balanced analysis, seeing both sides while showing respect and caring.
The ability to put yourself in the shoes of others is one of your true talents, but you need to be careful you don't become so involved in others lives that you become a martyr.
You have to be careful not to become complacent and self-righteous, forgetting about your own dreams and goals.
Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. You can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, and run the risk of being exploited by others. You may appear to be innocent and naïve but you are actually quite streetwise and astute - you read others well, but often keep it to yourself.
A negative side to the green personality is a tendency towards envy and jealousy.
