Fun fact: The Northern point of Brazil is closer to Canada than it is to the most Southern point of Brazil

Brazil’s landmass spans such vast distances that it defies expectations. Ultimately, it occupies roughly half of South America, covering a total area of more than 8.5 million km2 (3.2 million sq mi).

To illustrate just how massive it is, Brazil’s northernmost point, Monte Caburaí in Roraima, is closer to Canada than it is to the country’s southernmost point, Arroio Chuí in Rio Grande do Sul.

The distance between the two farthest points in Brazil is 4,393 km (2,729 mi). But Monte Caburaí is only 4,279 km (2,658 mi) from Canada. The only countries in the world larger are Russia, Canada, China and the United States

Kargalar hastalandığı zaman karınca yuvasına saldırıp ayaklarıyla kazar. Sonra ayağa kalkıp kanatlarını açar ve hareketsizce bekler. Karıncaların kendisine saldırmasına izin verir.


Karıncalar, mantar ve mikroplara karşı böcek ilacı etkisi yapan formik asidi ağızlarıyla salgılar ve karga hastalığın etkisini bu küçük yardımla ortadan kaldırır.

Soru şu: bu kuşlar, bunu nereden biliyor ?

Eski Türk yazıtlardan birinde şöyle yazar :
Kuzu dizlerinin üzerine çökerek annesini emer ,
Karga yaşlı annesini besler ;
Bunun adı :
" saygılı davranmaktır ."
Horoz şafak vakti öter ,
Yaban kazları
Her bahar kuzeye
Her sonbahar güneye uçar ;
Bunun adı :
'' söz tutmaktır .''
Yeşilbaşlı ördek eşini kaybettikten sonra ölene kadar yeni bir eş bulmak istemez .
Bu :
'' sadakat ''
Olarak adlandırılır
Bir geyik iyi bir otlağa rastladığında yaşadığı sürüyü oraya davet eder ve paylaşır ,
Karınca yemek gördüğünde bütün koloniyi oraya çağırır ;
Bunun adı :
'' adalettir .''
Eğer bir insan bu erdemlere sahip değilse :
Hayvandan beter bir halde yaşıyordur .!
Bir Türkmen duası da şöyledir :
Tanrım ,
İlk önce :
Dağa taşa ver ,
Ormana ,
Hayvanlara ,
Suya ver .
Ondan sonra :
İnsanlara ,
Kapı komşuya ,
Muhtaç olana ver .
Kalırsa ,
En son bana ver .!

Argentina won its 16th Copa America title on Sunday night at Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium, beating Colombia 1-0, with striker Lautaro Martinez scoring the winning goal in the 112th minute.

In a match that started 1 hour and 22 minutes late because of security and crowd issues, Argentina won its third straight major title following the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup.

Tears preceded the celebrations, though, as Argentina captain Lionel Messi was injured in the 66th minute and spent the rest of the match on the bench, while winger Angel Di Maria had an emotional farewell in his last game for the national team.

A night of joy for Argentina was a night of disappointment for Colombia, who had won their only title in the 2001 Copa America and were unbeaten in 28 matches leading up to Sunday’s final.
