Spiders that hunt at night often have a special layer at the back of their big eyes. It acts like a mirror to bounce light back into the eyes. On a dark night, this reflected light makes the spider's eyes seem to glow!
Rare trees poached for souvenirs
Rare trees poached for souvenirs The Aboriginal instrument, the didgeridoo, is
popular with tourists visiting Australia, but they are endangering
a rare species of tree. The most frequently used tree in the
didgeridoo black market is the rare eucalypt 'eucalyptus phoenica.'
Environmental authorities are planning a tagging system to prevent
poaching and protect this tree. APRIL 28, 2001
