Venus is suspected to be a chimera, which is when two zygotes fuse into one, leaving the animal with two sets of genetic information. Essentially, she would be her own twin!

Others aren't so sure that she is really a chimera and think that she could display mosaicism, which arises when genetic recombination results in different genotypes in a single organism's tissues.

Venus was born as a stray on a dairy farm in 2009 but now she lives a comfortable life in a good home. She’s still doing quite well and is in good health.
The rainbow rose is a rose which has had its petals artificially colored. The method exploits the rose's natural processes by which water is drawn up the stem. By splitting the stem and dipping each part in different colored water, the colors are drawn into the petals resulting in a multicolored rose.With these changes to the rose, it causes them to not live as long as an uncolored rose

Walt Disney holds the record for Most Oscars! How many does he have?

Walt Disney, the man who became a legend through his animation and the lives of children all around the world, is also the record holder for most Oscars!

Although, this might not come as a total surprise to you, considering the fact that he produced over 650 different Disney films and animated shorts.

If you think about it, if you make 650 different films, you are bound to make one or two that are worthy of an Oscar. Walt Disney was awarded 22 Oscars total, and seven years in a row, he won the Oscar for Best Short Subject in the Cartoon category.

Although Walt Disney passed away when he was 66 years old, the company he left behind has been able to create films that are recognized around the world.

A strange phenomena is happening in some Russian forests. People are finding strange, deep holes.

They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can’t get on the car or truck to bring any device to drill the ground. There is no soil nearby that should be taken from such deep hole.

When people are brave enough to venture into the holes, they find that they end abruptly in the darkness. There are no any reasonable ideas on how these holes appear and what they are being used for. No one knows who or what is digging these holes or why.


In 1961, Leonid Rogozov, 27, was the only surgeon in the Soviet Antarctic Expedition. During the expedition, he felt severe pain in the stomach and had a high fever. Rogozov examined himself and discovered that his appendix was inflamed and could burst at any time. With a local anesthesia, he operated himself to remove the appendix.
