The cow will remain the largest mammal on Earth, learn why?

Cows may remain the largest mammals on earth in a few centuries, according to a new study examining the extinction of large mammals as humans populate every corner of the globe.

The spread of mankind and associated species like Neanderthals from Africa thousands of years ago coincided with the extinction of megafauna such as mammoths, toothed tigers, and gliptodon, a creature similar to armadillon but the size of a car.

"Humans targeted large species of meat, while smaller creatures like rodents escaped," the report said, examining the trend over 125,000 years. In North America, the average body mass of mammals has been reduced to 7.6 kg from 98 kg when people arrived. If the trend continues, the largest mammal above ground in a few hundred years, could be a tamed cow of about 900 kg, the researchers write. This means that elephants, giraffes and hippopotamus will be lost. In March, the last white male rhinoceros on earth died in Kenya.
However, other reports cast doubt on the continued reduction of mammals, in part because of efforts to repel threats to wildlife such as climate change, loss of forest habitats, pollution and expanding cities.

Why 'Wherefore Art Thou Romeo' Mean?

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Because of the base word where , modern ears often interpret this line as asking the question: “Where are you, Romeo?” In fact, it’s asking, “Why are you Romeo?” The following line gives us a clue: Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Since what kept the lovers apart was their feuding families, they could be together without impediments if he had a different name. Why was he Romeo? (Indeed, a few lines later, Juliet asks, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet.”) The fact is, adding prepositions to where was an unusually productive way to make words in English. In these compounds, where meant “what” or “which,” so that, for example, whereon meant “on what” and wherein meant “in what”—and wherefore meant “for what,” or “why.” Shakespeare used it in other plays as well: But wherefore do you droop? why look you sad? —Shakespeare, King John, Act 5, Scene 1 Wherefore was I born? ...

Is the tattoo haram?

Answer: Praise be to Allah alone, praise and peace be upon Muhammad ... The tattoo is a permanent mark or drawing on the skin that is injected through the needles under the superficial layer of skin. Most often, "tattoo artists" use a hand machine that acts like a sewing machine, with one or more needles piercing the skin continuously. With each puncture, the needles release color. The health damages he can cause are many, such as allergic reactions, various skin infections and blood diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV, the AIDS-causing virus (AIDS). However, even if it were not the cause of those diseases, the tattoo is haram because it changes and interferes with the creation of Allah, who gave man the most beautiful form. Although tattooing is a growing fad, it is a primitive act that people have done in ancient times, while Islam forbade it from this ugly and not flattering act (in my opinion), hence the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sall...

These are the 15 reasons why Muslims do not eat pork

The fact that pork consumption is banned in Islam is already known, but the following points explain the reasons and aspects of this ban: 1) A pig is a real waste bin. Eat everything, including excrement, decomposed meats or rotten vegetables. They also eat the carcinogenic masses of animals. 2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs the toxins like a sponge. Their meat may be up to 30 times more toxic than beef or deer meat. 3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest in our body, so the toxins have all the time possible to filter out of the liver. But when eating pork it only takes about 4 hours to digest. We can thus obtain a much higher level of toxins within a short time. 4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat. Sweat is a product that removes toxins from the body. Because a pig does not sweat, toxins remain inside his body and in the flesh. 5) Pigs and piglets are so poisonous that it is very difficult to kill them with striken or other poisons. 6) Farme...
