They are so rare that scientists have not even been able to classify their conservation status. Small enough to fit in a human hand, these tiny armadillos are nocturnal and burrow in the ground.

The Girgentana is an Italian breed of domestic goat, native to the province of Agrigento in southern Sicily, Italy. It is a medium-sized goat with a thick, long, white coat with grey-brown colored hair around the head and throat. It has a goatee on its chin and a thick clump of hair on its forehead. Named after the town of Girgenti (modern-day Agrigento), this species of goat has a distinguished pair of horns which are joined at the base and twisted in a 'corkscrew' shape. Both males and females have horns, but in males, these can reach up to 70 cm in length. The Girgentana goat was previously numerous in Agrigento - more than 30,000 in the coastal area and the hilly hinterland. But since 2007, this breed has been listed as 'endangered' by the FAO. By the end of 2013, the registered population was 390.

They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation, making the chicken mostly black, including feathers, beak, internal organs,, and chicks.

In Puglia, many of the Olive trees stand like sculptures and are unbelievably old - we are talking about thousands of years old! Their age are depicted through their twisted trunks that have evolved over centuries to form unique patterns of knots and gnarls. In fact, Olive trees twist clockwise and there are different theories as to why this occur.
Some think it is related to the earth's gravity force, while others believe it's due to the rotation of the earth or the direction of the wind. Some even suggest that it takes on the helix shape of human DNA. These distorted structure have however toughened the tree trunk, rendering it thick, sturdy and capable of remaining undisturbed for so long. Out of the 60 million Olive trees in Puglia, 5 million are classified as monuments and are protected by the local government. They even bear metal tags with identification numbers so they can be located.

Charis is considered one of the greatest inventions of the time ! This water supply system has the ability to collect water from underground sources and transport it to cities and d-roads so that Persia can exist and thrive in a dry climate.The hydraulic system includes a main Well that receives water from an underground source, a tunnel system in which water is transported to a specific location, and vertical ventilation wells that allow moisture to condense throughout the road. In addition to all this, groundwater supply significantly reduces the evaporation of valuable moisture. The length of Gonabad charisma is 33,113 meters, it contains 427 depressions for water. The structures were built only with the help of knowledge of physics, geology and hydraulic laws, which confirmed the high degree of development of the Persians. The Gonabad rope has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007.

He was born in 1918 and died on the 22nd in 1940. It is believed that he continued to grow at the time of his death due to an abnormality due to the high level of growth hormone that his body secreted. Shaq's 216cm dwindled next to him

Cliff Palace was built by Ancestral Puebloans, sometimes called the Anasazi. Ancestral Puebloans were native to the Four Corners region, where the U.S. states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona neatly intersect.
The 150 rooms of Cliff Palace were constructed out of natural sandstone, wooden beams, and mortar. The mortar was made of soil, water, and ash. Tiny pieces of stone called chinking are also embedded in the mortar, to strengthen construction.

Hydnellum peckii is a fungus in the genus Hydnellum of the family Bankeraceae. It is a hydnoid species, producing spores on the surface of vertical spines or tooth-like projections that hang from the undersurface of the fruit bodies. It is found in North America, Europe, and was recently discovered in Iran (2008) and Korea (2010). Hydnellum peckii is a mycorrhizal species, and forms mutually beneficial relationships with a variety of coniferous trees, growing on the ground singly, scattered, or in fused masses.
