Elephants (intelligent animals)

Elephants are the largest land mammal on the Earth at present time.  The popular idiom, memory of an elephant holds some truth. Elephants are incredibly smart and can recognize themselves. Their brain can weigh anywhere between 4 and 6 kilograms. Most of an elephants behavior is not animal instinct but rather learned behavior through many experiences. They also have incredible memories, with a brain that size I`d hope so.

Elephants are matriarchal in nature, large herds of elephants are usually led by older female elephants. The older the elephant, the more information they know through years of experience. Younger elephants depend on their elders for guidance through dangerous terrain or difficult situations such as droughts or shortages of food.

Elephants that have had exposure to humans are known to be friendly and docile but herds of wild elephants can display acts of aggression that can lead to injury or death. Its best to avoid wild elephants as they do not know which humans are potential threats and can resort to violence if they feel threatened.

Interesting facts about Raccoons

Raccoons are black, white and gray animals that often resemble little thieves. True to their appearance raccoons have been known to take food that does not belong to them or rummage through trash at night.

Contrary to popular opinion raccoons are very intelligent animals, they have an IQ scale closer to that of a human. I wouldn`t appreciate being compared to a raccoon when it comes to smarts.  Anyway, raccoons are known to have an evolving intelligence meaning they are able to learn and change their way of thinking from experiences.

Despite living outside and being known for picking through trash, raccoons are actually very hygienic animals. Whatever food they acquire they make a point of trying to clean it before consuming. If you have a minute search a well known video of a raccoon attempting to wash cotton candy, spoiler there is a rather disappointing but adorable ending.

Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is one of the many landmarks one thinks of when thinking about Japan. Most Japanese would say that Mount Fuji is property of Japan but it is actually partly privately owned.

Mount Fuji is also an active volcano, the last eruption was recording in 1707. Beautiful but dangerous, though there has been no news that it would erupt it is a possibility.

Lastly, it is possible to get married on Mount Fuji, the same offered is limited but a wedding on a beautiful active volcano would be an experience.

The benefits of Rice

Rice is a staple in most kitchens and such a universally used product. Rice has many benefits, it is a great source of carbohydrates which is the body`s main source of fuel. Brown rice, especially, is an excellent source of many nutrients, including fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and B vitamins.

In addition to its amazing health benefits,  rice can also be used as a beauty product. The starch in rice is known to have brightening properties and rice water has been used to promote good hair health.  Rice can even be used as an exfoliating treatment.

Rice water can also be used to water plants. Rice water is a byproduct of soaking or boiling rice and is rich in nutrients that can help your plants thrive. Not only does it contain essential minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but it also has beneficial bacteria that can improve soil health.

Rice really is a multi- purpose product.

Heritage day South Africa

Heritage day is the 24th of September and is used to celebrate and acknowledge all the different cultures and groups in South Africa. The day was previously know as Shaka day as a way to remember one of South Africa`s great Zulu kings. But has since been changed to include all cultures and not just the isiZulu people. Heritage day is celebrated in many different ways, workplaces and churches host heritage day events where you are allowed to dress up in your specific cultures clothing. This is very bright and colorful as many cultures have unique traditional and cultural clothing. In Schools, children are taught about the day and given assignments to research their own heritage. This so special because many children have different family heritages and one child could show case a heritage from two or more different cultures in their family.

Lastly heritage day is a public holiday and many companies and school close on that day, South Africans take this opportunity to braai (barbeque) and spend the day with their families.
