A Bouquet of God’s Beauties
All the living things on Earth have been created with
innumerable, exceptional and superior features, from reproduction to defense,
and from the way they feed to their systems of movement. Some
build nests like architects, some ponder like chemists and come up with the
ideal form of heating, and others still are true masters of camouflage. When
one examines the lives of these creatures they will see that both the physical
attributes and behavior are in complete harmony with one another and with their
environment.
You can see a few of the extraordinary features
possessed by living things.
Whale
The whale, the largest mammal in the sea, is at the
same time the largest creature on Earth. Even
some dinosaurs, which lived and became extinct millions of years ago, are
dwarfed by whales. The blue whale in particular is considered to be even larger
than all the dinosaurs known to date. Blue whales
have a tongue the size of an average sized elephant and a heart weighing 900
kilos.
A heart, the size of a small car, pumps 10 tons of blood
a second. Yet the food that such a giant creature consumes is quite
astonishing. Blue whales feed solely on prawns, just a few centimeters long.
The whale has to consume around two tons of prawns a day to completely fill its
stomach.
Blue whales are not solely noteworthy for their size,
however. They also possess complex bodily systems. The surface of the water is
warm, but the deeper regions of the seas are cold. This means that there is a
large temperature difference between the surface and the sea bed. Yet whales
are unaffected by this since their fins function like air conditioning units.
As the whales, created by God with such a superior feature, dive to the bottom
they cool their bodies with their fins, and warm them again while rising.
