Have You Ever Heard Of The Pig Island?


Pigs can't fly, but they can swim for sure. Also called the Big Major Cay, the Pig Island is a tiny, uninhabited island in Exuma that lies in a remote corner of the Bahamas. On this island, you will see something incredible! You will be witness to dozens of feral pigs that can swim. Can you believe it? Barely anyone had heard of the Pig Island before. No one is quite sure as to how the pigs got to this island. Some say the pigs were left by sailors who intended to cook them, while others assume the pig swam to safety after a nearby shipwreck. If you are lucky enough to visit this island, you will see pigs swimming in the ocean, right up to your boat, to greet you and pose for pictures. Millions of tourists visit this mysterious island every year. Those who found pigs hanging around the beach soon began feeding them. Some clever pigs learnt that by swimming up to the incoming boats, they got fed first. That has made these adorable creatures very popular. Some tourists also love to swim along with them. Amazing sensors, intelligence and adaptability have helped these animals, hence making theirs the ultimate success story.

Why Do Glass Windows Shatter During Fire?

  You might have noticed in movies and also in real life that whenever there is a fire inside a building, the glass windows crack and break. The openings of the windows in the walls of the room on fire play a key role in the spread of fire. Windows are those parts of the buildings that generally have less resistance to fire in comparison to that of the walls. During a fire,  there is a increase in temperature inside the room. The glass pane is not subjected to uniform heat from the fire. Glass windows are fitted within the frames, and the thickness of the frame is larger in comparison to that of the glass pane. There is an intense heat flow that is suddenly experienced on one side of a glass pane. As a result, the heat focussed on the central region of the glass causes it to expand. While the edges of the pane happen to be relatively cooler,  which induces stress in the material. This shifting gradient is known to shatter the glass to pieces.
