⚡️Wolbachia
It is a common type of bacteria 🦠 found in insects.
Wolbachia bacteria cannot make people or animals (for example, fish, birds, pets) sick.
These are of interest to agricultural scientists because they provide an efficient way to control whiteflies.
Whiteflies feed on the sap of plant leaves, causing productivity losses, and are thus a major agricultural pest.

⚡️Indian flapshell Turtle 🐢
It is a freshwater species of turtle found in South Asia.
The "flap-shelled" name stems from the presence of femoral flaps located on the plastron. These flaps of skin cover the limbs when they retract into the shell.
Habitat: They live in the shallow, quiet, often stagnant waters of rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, lakes and irrigation canals, and tanks.
These turtles prefer waters with sand or mud bottoms because of their tendency to burrow.
Lifestyle:
They are omnivores.
They are generally solitary and active during the day. They are very well adapted, both morphologically and behaviorally, to drought conditions.
⚡️Conservation status
✅ IUCN Red list: Vulnerable
✅ CITES: Appendix I
✅ Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972: Schedule I

⚡️Comb Jellies
Scientists have revealed that the comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, also known as the sea walnut, can undergo reverse development, effectively “aging backward” to an earlier life stage.
The comb jelly naturally does this when faced with unfavorable circumstances.
This incredible ability — only the third-known instance in the animal kingdom — could redefine our understanding of animal development and evolutionary biology.

Today,we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur,a beacon of courage & humanity.
His martyrdom stands not just as a testament to his faith but as a shield for the Sanatan Hindu Dharma against cruel Mughal invaders and radical Islamists.
May God remind those few "Bhatke huye" Sikh brothers what they once stood for..
