  • It varies by species. Some go left side up and others go right side up. In some species the individuals flip equally often to left and right, such as thornback turbot. Then there’s the Senegalese sole… In this species the side they “tilt” towards are different between individuals, but most of them do it to one side and a small subgroup turn the other way. Kind of like our right or left handedness. source






  • That’s great and all. But by measuring everything in millimetres and grams you miss out on the very thing that makes the metric system great; the easy conversions. You can measure things in millimetres and easily switch to centimeters, just by moving the decimal sign, when the measurement gets large enough. That way you can almost always keep the numbers manageable. No need to say 1500 millimetres. Just say 1,5 m.

    This is one of the most underrated abilities. I advice everyone to do this:

    Pick a bird that is common in your country or other areas you visit. Learn it’s song. Soon you’ll start to hear it everywhere and begin noticing variations around different locations. I did this with the chaffinch.

    It’s really funny to hear their dialects. Now, I’m definitely not skilled enough to pinpoint a bird based on its accent. But I do notice differences and it is thorough enjoyable, every time.
