Meet The Real life Batman!

Meet Daniel Kish, at the age of one, he was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma so doctors had to remove both his eyes.

At the age of two, he began to discover ways of 'seeing' his world like most blind childs do, stomping with his feet, snapping fingers, clapping hands, and making clicking sounds.

Now, at the age of 44, Daniel is a fully independent person with the help of a method he called "Flash Sonar" or more commonly known as echolocation.

This technique which is also employed by bats and dolphins enables him to "see" everything around him. Using echolocation, Daniel is able to ride a mountain bike through streets with heavy traffic and on dirt trails, climb trees, camping, travelling, cooking, swimming and dancing. In short, he can do what sighed people can do. In fact, he's accomplished more than most people have accomplished.

Barreleye - A Bizzzare Fish With Transparent Head

This remarkable fish was found by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) just off the coast of Central California.

What remarkable about this small fish known as Barreleye Fish (Macropinna microstoma) is that it has a transparent dome covering its head. But, if you're thinking that the things you see inside the transparent dome are the insides of its head, the you're wrong.

The green sphere shaped thing is not a brain but a part of the fish's super sensitive, tubular shaped eyes. The eyes face upwards and were believed to be fixed in position until recently when scientists discovered that the eyes can tilt to face forward. What looked like a pair of eyes on the fish's face however, are not eyes at all. they are the fish's nostrils!

Most Expensive Coffee Made From Animal Poop?

The world famed Civet Coffee or locally known as Kopi Luwak is a special type of coffee taken from the droppings of Luwak or Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hemaphroditus).

The process of making this coffee began when the civet eats the ripe coffee berries and swallowing them together with their beans. The beans then passed through this little animal's digestive tract before being pooped out in clumps. These clumps are then collected by farmers, thoroughly cleaned, dried and lightly roasted before being served to those willing to pay.

Studies shows that inside the civet's stomach, the coffee beans are fermented in a mixture of stomach acids and enzymes which brings out the full taste and aroma of the coffee and reduce bitterness.

However, scientists in America have come up with ways to imitate the process without involving animals.
