Short stuff,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Kaelyn's work answers the question,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "I wonder why monarch butterflies head to Mexico in the winter?"
Thousands of students participated. City officials in England's capital say it costs millions of dollars a year to clean the gooey blobs off streets and sidewalks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Oxford Street alone - which is one of London's most popular shopping districts - had more than 300,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 pieces of chewing gum stuck to the pavement.
So officials recently started a campaign to encourage residents and visitors to throw their gum in a trash bin when they've finished chewing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Anyone over the age of 10 can be fined up to £80 (or about $150) for dropping gum in the street.
Travel advice: You might opt for a mint or lollipop instead of gum. And remember to dispose of the wrapper properly!
Very snowy
Sure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Colorado and New York State may have been hit with massive snowstorms this winter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but their snow accumulations are nothing compared to some on record with the US Army Corps of Engineers.
In April 1921, Silver Lake, Colo.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], got more than 6-1/3 feet of snow in a 24-hour period.
Did you think it was always warm in California? In 1911, Tamarack got more than 390 inches of the fluffy white stuff in one month. That's 32-1/2 feet! Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl has the US record for the most snow accumulation in one storm: 189 inches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or 15-3/4 feet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in 1959.
But nothing on record tops Mount Baker,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wash.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where more than 1,140 inches (or 95 feet) of snow fell in the winter of 1998-99. That would make one huge snow fort!
Rare shark
As sharks go,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this was a rare find. Last month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a five-foot frill shark was found by a fisherman in Numazu,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Japan.
The frill shark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], also known as a frilled shark,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], usually lives at depths greater than 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 feet - and are not found at sea level.
Noticeably absent from this shark (see picture) is the characteristic "shark fin," or first dorsal fin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which many people associate with the fish. It's the fin that sometimes sticks up out of shallow water if a shark is swimming close to shore.
Some scientists say the frill shark has been around for eons: Its body shape and the number of gills are similar to fossils of sharks that lived more than 350 million years ago.
Jumbo jet
Want to work out on your next airplane flight? Bring some shorts and sneakers.
The world's biggest passenger plane - the Airbus A380 - took to the sky in France for its first public flight a few weeks ago.
The plane, which is taller than six double-decker buses and longer than a soccer field,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was designed and built by experts from several European countries.
