How to Decode Your Cat’s Tail Movements

By Ritika

Cats don't very often communicate in sounds only. Their tail, an often-overlooked body part, speaks an entire vocabulary of mood, warning, and invitation. It isn't a matter of becoming a "cat whisperer," but of slowing down long enough to pay attention. A swish, a flick, a soft curl, each is a sign.

5 Animals with Longest Pregnancy Period
5 Animals with Longest Pregnancy Period

By Annanya Saxena

While humans may complain about nine months of pregnancy, some animal mothers carry babies for years. Frilled sharks hold theirs for 3.5 years, elephants for nearly two, and sperm whales for 17 months. Even tiny mountain salamanders wait up to four years! These extended pregnancies allow babies to develop strong brains, thick skin, or survival instincts needed in extreme habitats. But such long gestations also make these species vulnerable, as slow reproduction hampers recovery from poaching, habitat loss, and climate change.
