The secrets of bear families. When Mama bear brings in the offspring of more than one bear, each of the calves of your father. We can say that within a litter not twins, and only twins (triplets, etc.). What this says about science? The body of the dipper during each ovulation produces one egg. However, each mating stimulates the occurrence of the next ovulation. In mammals, the maturation of new eggs occurs either independently of external factors (such as humans), or under the influence of the action of the male (as in the case of bears).

Praying mantises: the ear between the legs with huge eyes of praying mantises in the ear hide in the abdomen. Such an arrangement deprives the insect of the ability to identify the source and frequency of sounds, however, gives the ability to echolocation, similar to that have bats.
