Male giraffes fight each other by 'necking'! They push their long necks against each other, bending and twisting them in order to win the fight by a show of strength. Many animals fight this way, including snakes, insects and crabs. Competing in this way allows animals to find out who's boss while protecting themselves from injury. The strongest wins and the loser just has to go away.
Symbols of the soul
Symbols of the soul Did you know that ancient Greeks believed the soul
was a butterfly? They believed that the soul left the body after
death in the form of a butterfly, and their symbol for the soul was
a butterfly winged girl named Psyche. Many people today are charmed
by the delicate wings and bright colours of butterflies.
Butterflies migrate great distances, and most adult butterflies
only live a week or two although some stay alive for up to 18
months. MAY 2, 2001
