**Gravity** is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, but there are other factors affecting **slope stability** that produce specific conditions that make a slope prone to failure. In many cases, the landslide is triggered by a **specific event** (such as a heavy rainfall, an earthquake, a slope cut to build a road, and many others), although this is not always identifiable. Landslides are frequently **made worse by human development** (such as urban sprawl) and **resource exploitation** (such as mining and deforestation). Land degradation frequently leads to less stabilization of soil by vegetation. Additionally, **global warming** caused by climate change and other human impact on the environment, can **increase the frequency of natural events** (such as extreme weather) which trigger landslides

The tail on a manta ray does not contain a barb, which effectively makes them harmless to humans! Stingrays possess one with serrated venomous spines at the base of their tail, and that's what killed Steve!
It's so elegant!
That's probably not very safe but i'm definetly impressed

The Union Flag was originally a **Royal flag**. When the present design was **made official in 1801**, it was ordered to be flown on all the **King's forts and castles**, but not elsewhere.
The Shuangfeng Forest Farm witnesses frequent snowfalls and is covered with snow for most of the year. The beautiful snow scenery here attracts many visitors from at home and abroad every year.
I'm excited and scared at the same time...
Put some country music in the background for the full experience!
Saturn is the least dense planet in the Solar System Saturn has a density of **0.687 grams/cubic centimeter**. Just for comparison, water is 1 g/cm3 and the Earth is 5.52. Since Saturn is less dense than water, it would actually **float** like an apple if you could find a pool large enough!
A black wolf is a **melanistic** colour variant of the gray wolf (*Canis lupus*). Black specimens were recorded among red wolves (*Canis rufus*), though the colour morph in this species is probably now extinct. Genetic research from the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California, Los Angeles revealed that wolves with black pelts owe their distinctive coloration to a mutation which occurred in domestic dogs, and was carried to wolves through wolf-dog hybridization. Besides coat and knee colour, they are normal grey wolves.
Unlike most birds of prey, the secretarybird is largely terrestrial, **hunting its prey on foot**. Adults hunt in pairs and sometimes as loose familial flocks, stalking through the habitat with long strides. Prey may consist of **insects** such as locusts, other grasshoppers, wasps, and beetles, ot **small vertebrates** like rodents, frogs, lizards, small tortoises, and birds such as warblers, larks, doves, small hornbills, and domestic chickens. They occasionally prey on **larger mammals** such as hedgehogs, mongooses, **small felids** such as cheetah cubs, striped polecats, **young gazelles**, and both young and full-grown **hares**.
