The Best-Selling Mobile Phone =====>> Nokia 1100
Did you have this..??
If hype was everything, you might assume the Apple iPhone was the best-selling handset to date. With the recent news that 100 million iPhones have been sold, Apple has certainly made the top five, but it's far behind the bestseller.
The world's most popular phone is the Nokia 1100, a basic GSM candybar launched in 2003. Over 250 million 1100s have been sold. Nokia's 3210 and 3310 also made the top five, while the last slot belongs to the iconic Motorola RAZR.

Transparent Frog ======>> Glass Frog
Glass frog is the common name for the frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura). While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is transparent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract are visible through this translucent skin, hence the common name. It s an endangered species. And absolutely stunning, so it would be a shame if we let it die out. Note the visible organs in this beautiful specimen. Unfortunately, with tropical rain forests in Central and South America threatened, the glass frog may go extinct. It's really beautiful creature..!!

A Real Life Hobbit Town in Matamata, New Zealand
When director Peter Jackson spotted the Alexander Farm during an aerial search of the North Island for the best possible locations to film The Lord of The Rings film trilogy, he immediately thought it was perfect for Hobbiton, the central village of the movies’ Hobbit civilization. Nevertheless, a lot of work was still needed to be completed before it was up to the director’s high standards.
The fictional Hobbit village is situated on a working sheep and beef farm, where it is advertised that guests can learn to shear sheep, and perform other agricultural duties before satisfying a well earned appetite at the on site Shires Rest cafe, which features fresh regional cuisine and provides unparalleled views of the Kaimai mountain ranges.

Blue Whale is known as Earth's largest Animal
The blue whale is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales (called Mysticeti). At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest known animal to have ever existed. The endangered blue whale can eat some 4 to 8 tons (3.6 to 7.3 metric tons) of krill per day. The heart of a blue whale is as big as a car, and it's tongue is as long as an elephant. Average lifespan of blue whale is estimated at around 80 to 90 years.
Blue whales look true blue underwater, but on the surface their coloring is more a mottled blue-gray. The blue whale has a broad, flat head and a long, tapered body that ends in wide, triangular flukes.
Blue whale calves enter the world already ranking among the planet's largest creatures. After about a year inside its mother's womb, a baby blue whale emerges weighing up to 3 tons (2.7 metric tons) and stretching to 25 feet (8 meters). It gorges on nothing but mother's milk and gains about 200 pounds (91 kilograms) every day for its first year.
Blue whales live in all the world's oceans occasionally swimming in small groups but usually alone or in pairs. They often spend summers feeding in polar waters and undertake lengthy migrations towards the Equator as winter arrives.
