Hi Greenzoners! Spooked already? 😉
This terrifying by appearance creature here is the goblin shark – very rare species of deep water animal. They are found in a water deeper than 200m or on the surface, dragged up by deep sea fishers.
Their characteristic feature is head strangely shaped and retractable jaws. (more…)
Hello Greenzoners! Some another interesting facts – this time about global warming. 😉
Did you know that forest fires are now more common in the US?
We recommend you to see this video – top 10 Surprising Global Warming Effects. 🙂

Unlike most of animals, goats have rectangular pupils.
We are accustomed to see pupils in eyes as round objects, just as our pupils. It allows them to see more around themselves (320-340 degrees of vision, while humans have only 160-200 degrees).
Which also means, that they can see better at night. 🙂
According to the new studies by the USGS, streams are more vulnerable to urban development than it was previously thought. Growing and spreading inhabited areas lead to the indirect contamination of nearby streams. As scientists claim, “streams are not only water – they are communities of aquatic life”. And, because of pollution, important and sensitive aquatic species living in the streams die out.
What do you think about it, dear Greenzoners?
Hello Greenzoners!
Geology professor and scientist, Summer Rupper recently stated that the progressing global warming is affecting the Himalayas.
Yes – the highest mountains in the world are suffering from rising temperature, which leads to the shrinking of glaciers by melting, – leading to huge amounts of water coming down from the mountains. (more…)
Hi Greenzoners! We recommend you to watch interesting documentary about water supplies and their quality in United States, directed by Vice, the creator of absorbing, witty and easy to watch documentaries. 😉

Hello Greenzoners! We already spoke about phytoplankton, sea otters and others. Now let’s talk about something more exotic – orangutans. 🙂
Recently orangutan’s populaion on Sumatra island (south-east Asia) have undergone significant decline. For now there’s only 6,600 individuals left and orangutans are now endangered species. The reason of this reduction is, as it often occured, massive deforestation of tropical areas. (more…)
Hello Greenzoners, I hope you are having good day in which we greet you with new Eco News. 😉
Mountain meadows are slowly declining and being destroyed in the Northern Pacific areas. Once huge tracts of green grass and rare, wild flowers, now they are being dominated by spreading trees and other thick and territorialy invasive plant species. The reason behind this is progressing global warming and rising temperature (more…)
…wondering what is this? 😉
It’s a phytoplankton, a small underwater organism that can absorb the excessive amounts of CO2 in atmosphere.
Because of global warming and rising seas’ temperatures, their population is decreasting.
