Is there a difference between bison and bison?

It will probably be difficult to convince anyone that the bison on the United States nickel is not a bison at all. Nevertheless, it is so. The so-called American bison is not a bison at all, but a bison. However, it belongs to the family of wild bulls, and they are so close relatives with real bison that they are very similar to each other in proportions and the presence of 14, not 13 pairs of ribs.

The American bison has huge shoulders and shaggy hair that covers the head and front of the body. Compared to the head and front, the rest of the body looks almost naked. Males are usually much larger than females. A bull can weigh up to 900 kilograms. For the Plains Indians, the American bison is food, clothing, and a roof over their heads.

Bison gives excellent meat, which the Indians eat not only fresh, but also dried. The skins are used to make winter clothes, teepee, horse harness, shields and boat coverings. Even bones, tendons and horns are used. The buffalo narrowly escaped complete extermination as a result of a beating that lasted a little less than 20 years. Once upon a time, the areas between the Alleghenies and the Rocky Mountains were inhabited by huge herds of bison. But by 1800 there were almost no bison left east of the Mississippi. The plains of the West, however, were still black with thousands, if not millions, of bison.

The size of these herds was almost unbelievable. They covered the prairie to the horizon. Steamboats on the rivers sometimes stopped because of the bison crossing from coast to coast, and trains had to wait for hours until the armies of these animals crossed the railway. Entire herds were slaughtered by hunters to feed thousands of new railroad builders, and hundreds of thousands of buffalo were killed for their skins alone.

From 1865 to 1875, approximately 2 buffalo skins were sold each year for approximately $000 each. By 000, there were only 1 bison across North America, 1889 of which were in captivity! There are currently approximately 835 bison living in the US and Canada.

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The threat of space debris to the Earth's magnetic field 01.05.2024

More and more often we hear about an increase in the amount of space debris surrounding our planet. However, it is not only active satellites and spacecraft that contribute to this problem, but also debris from old missions. The growing number of satellites launched by companies like SpaceX creates not only opportunities for the development of the Internet, but also serious threats to space security. Experts are now turning their attention to the potential implications for the Earth's magnetic field. Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics emphasizes that companies are rapidly deploying satellite constellations, and the number of satellites could grow to 100 in the next decade. The rapid development of these cosmic armadas of satellites can lead to contamination of the Earth's plasma environment with dangerous debris and a threat to the stability of the magnetosphere. Metal debris from used rockets can disrupt the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Both of these systems play a key role in protecting the atmosphere and maintaining ... >>

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Smartphone Panasonic P75 25.06.2016

Panasonic has announced a budget smartphone P75, built on the software platform Android 5.1 (Lollipop) with proprietary user interface Sail UI.

The device uses MediaTek MT6580 processor. This chip contains four processing cores with a clock speed of 1,3 GHz and a Mali-400 MP graphics controller. However, it should be emphasized that the cellular modem integrated into the processor does not provide support for LTE networks. So you can use your smartphone only in 2G / 3G networks; at the same time, it is possible to install two SIM-cards.

The amount of RAM is 1 GB. The flash module is designed to store only 8 GB of data, but it can be supplemented with a microSD card.

The novelty is endowed with a touch screen with a diagonal of 5 inches. The resolution is 1280 x 720 pixels. The rear camera is equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor and dual LED flash. In the front part there is a camera with a 5-megapixel sensor, designed for video telephony and self-portraits. There are traditional Wi-Fi (802.11b / g / n) and Bluetooth (version 4.0) wireless adapters, as well as a GPS receiver.

The main advantage of the Panasonic P75 is a powerful 5000 mAh battery that provides long battery life. The device has dimensions of 144,9 x 71 x 8,95 mm and weighs approximately 160 grams.

It will be possible to buy a novelty at an estimated price of $ 90.
