𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝟭𝟭𝟳 The Billion-Mouth Storm: Locust Swarms and the Science of Destruction

Locust plagues are biological wildfires, spreading at speeds of 150 km (93 miles) per day and devouring everything in their path. A single square kilometer can hold 80 million locusts, and when multiplied across hundreds of kilometers, their appetite becomes apocalyptic-a day’s food for 35000 people, gone in hours.

This nightmare begins when environmental cues force locusts to abandon their solitary lives and unite into a single, mindless feeding machine. The shift into their "plague phase" is one of nature’s most frightening adaptations-turning harmless insects into an agricultural weapon of mass destruction.

𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝟭𝟭𝟴  "Sharks are the ocean's oldest predators"

Sharks have existed on our planet for over 400 million years, surviving all five mass extinctions and maintaining their role as dominant predators in marine ecosystems. Their evolutionary history makes them one of the most resilient and successful species in the animal kingdom.

So not only are sharks older than the dinosaurs, but they continue to play a key role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
