The Reality Reports

Introduction To A Natural Giant: The Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing is the largest butterfly in the world and one of the most remarkable insects ever recorded. Native only to the coastal rainforests of Papua New Guinea, this rare species stands out for its size, color, and ecological importance.  Females can reach a wingspan of nearly one foot, making them larger than many birds. Despite its beauty, this butterfly faces serious threats that place its future at risk.

A Planet With A Long Memory: Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and life has existed on it for more than 3.5 billion years. During that time, countless species have appeared, evolved, and disappeared. Scientists estimate that more than 99.9% of all species that ever lived on Earth are now extinct. This means nearly all forms of life that once existed no longer survive today.

Three Hearts Working As A Team: Deep beneath the ocean waves lives one of nature's most incredible animals. The octopus has not one, not two, but three hearts pumping blood through its body.  This amazing system makes the octopus different from almost every other animal on Earth. While humans and most animals have just one heart, octopuses need three to survive in their underwater world.
