Researchers said that in fact, super drug-resistant bacteria are just upgraded versions of ordinary strains, and there are many types in China, and its infection methods are not much different from ordinary bacteria, but the removal and detection methods are more difficult, and people with normal immunity usually do not get sick casually.

Recently, American scientists discovered the world's largest living organism. It is a giant fungus that grows in Michigan and is larger than the blue whales of the ocean and the giant redwoods of California. This fungus and its scientific name is "Cyclomyces bulbs", which is huge and foul-smelling.
According to the journal Nature and reports, it is a single giant fungus that covers an area of 38 acres, weighs about 100 tons, and is estimated to have survived for 1,500 to 10,000 years.

Everyone knows that blue whales are the largest creatures in the world, but are they the largest ever made? In fact, there were once creatures on Earth that were larger than blue whales. They are huge prehistoric animals. However, even today's Earth is home to other amazingly large creatures.

<> "Poisonous creatures are suspected of being "dinosaurs reincarnated".
Lizards, also known as chameleons, are creatures that change their color in their natural environment, but do you know what the largest lizard in the world is?
They are the Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo dragon, which is the largest known species of lizard, and is mostly found in areas such as the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia.
The Comodo dragon is the largest known lizard, with an average length of 2 to 3 meters. The largest reaches 165 kilograms and is more than 3 meters long, the males are larger, and the adult monitor lizards have a black-brown body.
Because of their large size and ferocity, many people call the place where the Komodo dragons gather "Jurassic Park of the 21st century" and think of these giant lizards as the reincarnation of dinosaurs.
The Komodo dragon has a huge venom gland in the front of its jaw, and its mouth is home to a large number of bacteria, germs, and a complex poison.
glands, which will lower the blood pressure of the prey bitten by it, so that it will bleed and then become infected and die.
The Komodo dragon is ferocious, and adults eat the larvae of their own kind and sometimes other adults. Able to move quickly, occasionally attacking humans; However, they feed mainly on carrion, and they have few natural predators, and their only enemies are probably their own kind.

The most dangerous creature in the world is the box jellyfish.
The deadliest of all jellyfish, box jellyfish are also known as sea yellow wasps, and they can be found in most major oceans, including waters off California. They are aggressive creatures that prey on small prey, and their toxins are lethal to almost all living things on Earth.
The box jellyfish has 60 3-meter-long tentacles with billions of poison sacs and needles on the tentacles. The tentacles are densely packed with stinger cells, which contain stingers and sacs containing venom. Once the small fish and shrimp touch the tentacles, the stinging cells on the tentacles will pierce the deadly stinger into the body of the prey, inject venom into the prey, and poison it to death.
The tentacles then curl up and send the prey into the jellyfish's mouth. It also has receptors on its tentacles that recognize proteins on the skin of fish and shrimp.
Biological characteristics of box jellyfish
A new study by Swedish scientists has found that box jellyfish have developed a special set of eyes similar to those of humans, which help them deftly avoid obstacles in the ocean. Unlike ordinary jellyfish drifting in ocean currents, box jellyfish swim flexibly in the ocean, make quick 180-degree turns, and deftly move from object to object.
The box jellyfish has 24 eyes, distributed on a cup-shaped body at the tip of the tubular body, these eyes are divided into 4 different types, the most primitive one can only perceive the intensity of light, but there is a more delicate and complex eye, which can perceive colors and the size of objects like the human eye. The distribution of these eyes allows it to see almost 360 degrees of its surroundings.
To test the ability of the box jellyfish to avoid obstacles, researchers at Lund University in Sweden had the box jellyfish swim in a flowing pool and place different obstacles in the water. It was found that box jellyfish were able to avoid obstacles of different colors and shapes, but like humans in water, they often could not avoid transparent objects.

The 5 most poisonous creatures in the world are as follows:
5th place: Israeli golden scorpion.
The Israeli Killer Scorpion (Israeli Golden Scorpion) is a scorpion native to Israel that is so poisonous that it can kill people, and its LD value is around the limit. However, at present, the artificial-based individual aggression and toxicity in the market have a certain loss. However, its characteristics such as being the most poisonous and agile and fast in the scorpion world can still be very distinct.
I reached in front of him with some tool or touched his body, and he would attack with a tail catapult with lightning speed.
Fourth place: Blue Circle Octopus.
It is found in the waters of Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines. The size is like a tennis ball, and the wrists and feet are only 200mm. It is listed as one of the "top ten poisons in the world", which shows its toxicity.
The toxin in the body is enough for all 26 adults to die in half an hour!
Third place: marble snail.
It is a shellfish in the tropics, prefers to live in warm waters, and its habitat ranges from sandy shores, muddy shores, and rocky reef shores. Usually nocturnal, slow movement, mostly meat-based, ingesting other small fish. The poison sac in the body of the taro snail is transmitted through the poison tube, and the venom is transmitted to the toothed tongue that turns into an arrow.
When the prey approaches, it sticks out the end of its snout and pierces its venom-filled toothed tongue into the prey.
2nd place: King Cobra.
King cobras are fierce by nature. When they are in danger, the sides of their necks swell up and make a whirring sound. The king cobra is highly venomous, and it is the most ferocious poisonous snake in our country.
When frightened and angry, its neck is flattened, and it can erect the front of its body1 3 and suddenly attack humans and animals. The toxicity is "mixed poison", and an adult snake excretes more than 300 milligrams at a time, which is extremely harmful to humans and animals.
1st place: Box jellyfish.
The Australian box jellyfish is the most poisonous jellyfish in the world, the most poisonous marine creature in the world, and the first in the top ten deadly animals. Once a person is stabbed by its tentacles, it will die within 3 minutes, and there is no cure. In the coastal state of Queensland, Australia, about 60 people have died in the past 25 years from the poisoning of medium box jellyfish, but only 13 have died in the belly of sharks.
The largest animal in the world: if by weight the largest is the blue whale ; If it is by area volume there is no doubt that the Arctic Xia jellyfish :) although he went to the water without a few pounds. >>>More
Purely in terms of size, the largest aircraft in the world is the Russian An-225 transport aircraft, its length and width (wingspan) are, while the Airbus A380 is per meter) and the maximum take-off weight, the An-225 is 600 tons, and some data say that the A380 is 590 tons, which is not much the same. You must know that the An-225 is the carrier aircraft of the Russian "Buran" space shuttle.
The largest dinosaur we've found so far is the Epitosaurus, which was 39 to 52 meters long! Heights can reach up to 18 meters!! The weight reached 130 tons.

Before the advent of dinosaurs, lizard-type species had appeared on the earth, and although they were not as large as dinosaurs, they had a certain advantage over other animals at that time. Paleontologists believe they were the prototypes of the dinosaurs that came later. Lizards appeared in several geological epochs before the Triassic – the Carboniferous period (100 million to 100 million years ago). >>>More
