What is the tallest animal in the world?
There are many different animals living in the world, and their appearances and forms often have characteristics different from humans.
Focusing on such animal forms, what would you say is the tallest animal in the world? How many animals you know is also an important clue; just picturing the natural landscapes where animals live might lead you to the answer.
The answer is the giraffe, with its long neck and legs.
Males can reach up to 5 meters, making it a towering animal that’s also popular in zoos.
What are the two nutrients needed for strong bones?
As we get older, we tend to become more concerned about bone strength, and many people want to keep their bones as strong as possible.
So, what are the two nutrients needed to strengthen bones? One of them is obvious because it always comes up in discussions about bones, but the other might be less straightforward.
It’s easier to think of it not so much as a component of bones, but as something essential for overall health.
The answer is calcium and vitamin D—vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium into the bones.
It’s said that you can tell the weather by the height at which a certain bird flies. Which bird is it?
There’s a weather saying that goes, “When swallows fly low, it will rain.” Swallows catch and eat their food while flying, but when a low-pressure system approaches and humidity rises, the wings of the insects they feed on become heavier, so the insects can’t fly high.
As a result, swallows tend to fly lower rather than higher to catch their prey.
Many people may not have known that the reason swallows fly low isn’t about the swallows themselves, but about the insects they hunt.
Which part of a daikon radish is spicier, the top or the bottom?
It’s said that daikon radishes are sweeter at the top and spicier toward the bottom.
The upper part is sweeter and juicier, making it ideal for salads and raw preparations.
The lower part is spicier, more fibrous, and firmer, so it’s great for grated daikon or pickles like takuan.
The middle section has a moderate tenderness and can be used in a wide range of dishes such as simmered or stir-fried recipes.
Learn how to use each part of the daikon to make delicious dishes.
By understanding the characteristics of each section, you can add an extra touch to elevate your cooking.
