Cats can do this because they

have flexible spines and no

collarbone. They also have an

excellent sense of direction.

Still, dropping your cat off the

Empire State Building is not a

good idea.

Their exceptional eyesight is

paired with an acute sense of

smell, which aids in helping

them find food in the wild. In

addition to all of these useful

features, cats can hear really

well but don’t have as many

taste buds as we do. Lastly,

they have very sensitive

whiskers, which provide them

further information regarding

their environment. Cats have an

average life span of 12.1 years.

There are 72 species already

existing, and there might be

even more.

So now, we know a lot more

than an old boring dictionary

definition of cats. The cat is a

highly sophisticated animal and

about 30% of American

households have them as pets.

Would you like to join the

36,117,000 households who

own one?

Aneesh Karuppur is an assistant

editor at the Art Magazine. He has

written The IOT and 3D Printing.

ats!. What are they? We all

know cats are animals with fur,

whiskers, and a lot of other

features that living entities have.

But there is more to cats than

just that.

For starters, cats have a high

breeding rate. Cats are also a

very social species. Well, they

can’t text, or post stuff on

Instagram, but they do

communicate with each other.

The worldwide population

of cats exceeds 500 million,

which is quite a bit of felines.

Contrary to the myth, cats can’t

see in the dark. They can see

better than humans, but only if

they have some light. This is

because behind a cat’s eye,

there is a reflective layer which

bounces light back out of the

cat’s eye, thereby providing the

pupil with double the amount of

light than our eyes receive.

Cats can also jump from heights

and still land safely on their

paws.

The Nautilus

The nautilus is a cephalopod (Head-foot in Latin) that lives in the deep sea. They are known for their

beautiful shell and 90 sucker-less tentacles. These tentacles are covered by the nautilus’ ‘hood’. The

hood is an orange flap that allows the nautilus to hide in its shell in a pinch. When the nautilus

grows its shell grows along with it, expanding in ‘chambers’ to encompass the entire creature. This

is how the nautilus got the name ‘Chambered Nautilus’. Its shell is one of the most notable

examples of the Fibonacci sequence in nature. The pattern expands by adding the size of the

previous chamber to the current chamber. The shell it’s self is white with bright orange streaks.

When the outer layer rubs away the shell takes on a mother-of-pearl look. One thing you might

notice in the picture is that the nautilus has an interesting eye. This is not just part of the cartoon,

but an anatomical feature of the nautilus. Their eyes are slits, and they are nearly blind. Although

the nautilus may not look as adorable as a dolphin or a seal, they are truly special creatures.
