AstroDigi | Friday, 19 Aug 2011 | Of the five species of freshwater dolphins in the world, the Amazon River Dolphin pink, or Boto, are the most intelligent. Dolphins are friendly and have a brain capacity 40% greater than humans.
Since a few years ago, this mammal is one of the most endangered species of swimmers among the dolphins in the world. This is due to the destruction and deforestation of the rainforest (rainforest) in the Amazon region where they live.
Social habits they do not like the bottle-nosed dolphins are most common. They have no predators, except for "man", so they do not need to travel in large groups.
It is unclear what causes the unique color of the Boto, but the presence of cells of capillaries on the surface of their skin may contribute to some or most of the color of their birth. Other factors that also determine the age, and also the temperature of the water where they live.
Scientists who have studied botos ancestors, did not find much information even if they find that the ancestors of Boto has entered the Amazon River through the Pacific Ocean about 15 million years ago.
Boto has two different colors. Pink and gray. "Scientists say that the older dolphins they become more and more pink color. Therefore, if you look at the picture with the mother and baby pink dolphins, you may not believe that the baby gray is the son of the pink dolphins.
Dolphins eat crustaceans (such as crabs, and shrimp, etc.) catfish, and other freshwater fish. They are so flexible necks, allowing them to turn his head to 180 degrees backward. It helps them to move more freely in the area of deep water, water meadows, rivers and shallow waters.
They have a distinct hump on their back with bottle nose dolphins that has fins on its back. Has a similar elongated Pinocchio nose, making their appearance is rather unique look.
The biggest threat these beautiful creatures are fishermen with their nets. Fortunately, all dolphins are able to act aggressively, and instinctively know to stay away, so they're not much caught.
As the animal with the highest intelligence they can distinguish between humans that come with a net that threatens the safety to humans that come with friendship.
Although. . like humans, they may not know the hidden malicious intent within the human mind. And sometimes they are also mistaken instinct. These animals are very friendly and welcoming and also a helper to humans. When playing with humans Boto be very careful until the sharp teeth until they are not harmful to humans (see the video).
Unfortunately until now, there is no test that is open and extends related dengankecerdasan dolphins. Although scientists have found that the ratio of brain mass to body weight compared to their difference in a lot of bottle-nosed dolphins.
Their size varies but they generally can reach 2.5 or 3 meters long, weighing about 90 kilograms. Males are generally larger than females, but sometimes you also can find females with a larger size.
River dolphins reach sexual maturity when they reach 2 meters in size. Their mating season is between July and September. Their gestation period is between 9 and 12 months. Dolphins are still a small river called the "calf". This title just like other dolphins around the world.
Amazon Orinoco region, in South America is the only place in the world, where you can find pink dolphins. These creatures are truly in the list of endangered species and we need to preserve them.
Hopefully this article can readers realize the importance of protecting and preserving the flora and fauna. How about you?
Watch Boto friendliness and cheerfulness among humans in the video below:

Again PMI only facilitate blood donors, while the decision remains in the hands of each of us whether we wanted to donate blood or not.For Blood Donor Awareness
It should be an awareness in society that bag of blood could save the lives of a human person. With a bag of blood taken from the blood of our means we have alms, charity and reward saving. How happy if our blood meant for someone else, how happy if one person is saved because we donated blood voluntarily. We never know the future events, it is not possible relatives or even our own relatives need blood for transfusion. Imagine if the incident happened to us, when we need the stock was not there.
I myself have experienced it when my mother needed blood for an operation that should be done as soon as possible and when it's already 12 o'clock midnight. Blood stock in the PMI does not exist, when there is too it should be taken in other areas of PMI. But luckily that time I had passed the last 3 months of my donor so that my blood allows for the grab. Arrangements in the PMI is also made easier because I am an active donor

Do not expect to donate blood if there is one process that does not qualify. This is done with tight as to avoid risks for both donors and recipients. The deadline for donations is also determined, at least 3 months from the date of our last donation.
I, Budiono and Khucluk been rejected for the donor because the time allowed to donate more or less 2 days from the date of the last donors.
Less than the specified date then we are not allowed to donate. The reason is that HB has not met the target blood to donate. If forced to be at risk to the donor.

If you have a habit of putting your mobile in the pocket of his pants, then you should immediately change your habits. Because according to a study, Mletakkan Mobile in the pocket can cause decreased sperm production number that is feared could cause infertility.
According to a report published in the Journal of Andrology, researchers in the United States (U.S.) and around the world have found that electromagnetic radiation of radio frequency (RF-EMR) emitted by mobile phones can lower sperm count and quality.
The whole sperm are exposed to RF radiation-EMR showed decreased sperm concentration, motility (ability of sperm to move toward the egg), morphology (size and shape of sperm) and sperm viability. Similarly, subjects who carry their phones in pockets, they generally have a lower sperm concentration.
Dr. Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health from the School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley, said that this is a complex issue that needs to be further investigated. For example, currently it is unclear what types of phones or phone service (like GSM or CDMA) that cause worse effects on male reproductive organs. If you do more research, then we will have more reliable results. Consumers can find out and choose which to use (GSM or CDMA), which certainly has a low effect on the disruption of the reproductive organs.
Although it still can not deduce the truth of the effects of RF radiation, EMR, but a revealed fact, if too often keep the phone disaku front in a long time, the phone will generate heat and will damage the quality of sperm in the scrotum (sperm-forming that requires the temperature in average 4 degrees lower than normal body temperature).
Dr. Moskowitz also asserts that the reproductive organs and the head area is part of the body is very sensitive and should be shunned from cell phone radiation. Normally all people when sleeping put the phone near the head or tend to leave their cell phone in front pocket, this is a bad habit and should be changed
