Did you know that scientists have discovered an extraordinary way to forecast earthquakes? It's by observing how snakes behave! It turns out that these reptiles can sense a tremor from 120 kilometres away and up to five days in advance. When danger is on the horizon, they start moving erratically, sometimes even launching themselves into walls.

WOD Head

Wunderkind

A prodigy. For example, ‘At 75, she’s still a wunderkind in the art world.’ Pronounced as VOON-DER-KIND.

Quote of the day
