'Inscription: Thank you for your participation in my success of 18 October 1963'.
FĂ©licette was a stray Parisian cat. She is the only successful cat launched in the space. Initially, a total of 14 cats were selected and trained for the spaceflight. All of them were females, as they have a calmer demeanor.
She had the designation of C341 before the flight. She was the best selected candidate among all the cats. After the flight, the media gave her the name FĂ©lix. A statue of her likeness has been displayed at the International Space University (France).

Have you ever wondered, how fast can a dog run? Greyhounds are the fastest running dogs. It has special characteristics, such as long legs, slender muscular build, flexible spine, enhanced lung capacity, and high percentage of fast-twitch muscles which helps this breed to run faster.
A human heart averages only 0.77% of a person's body weight. Whereas, the greyhound has an enormous heart for its size, accounting for 1.18% to 1.73% of its body mass. Their heart circulates the entire blood volume for four or five times during a 30-second race. Its high blood volume and packed cell volume ensure muscles get the oxygenation they need to perform at peak efficiency.

Yes!! This is the reason why our furry friends can hunt well. They can smell separately with each nostril. They can detect the tiny reductions in the concentration of odor molecules that occur over short periods of time. Just as our eyes compile two slightly different views of the world, and our brain combines them to form a 3-D picture, a dog’s brain uses the different odor profiles from each nostril to determine exactly where smelly objects are located. Dogs' noses also function quite differently than our own. When we inhale, we smell and breathe through the same airways within our nose. When dogs inhale, a fold of tissue just inside their nostril helps to separate these two functions.
Dogs possess a sense of smell many times more sensitive than even the most advanced man-made instrument. Powerful enough to detect substances at concentrations of one part per trillion—a single drop of liquid in 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. With training, dogs can sniff out bombs and drugs, pursue suspects, and find dead bodies. And more and more, they’re being used experimentally to detect human disease—cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and now, malaria—from smell alone.

Kudos to our furry friend for their amazing work!!

Do you know Cancer is not only deadly but an ancient disease too? Did you know the facts about its origin?

The first description of human cancer can be found in the Edwin Smith Papyrus dated 3000 BC that illustrated a case of breast cancer. Other documented proof includes the Ebers Papyrus dating from 1500 BC that describes several types of tumors concerning skin, uterus, stomach, and re**um etc.

Surprisingly, the occurrence of cancer in our furry companion is much older than humans. Genome sequencing of the world’s oldest cancer (Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumor) has been done by a group of scientists. They have revealed that this cancer is approximately 11,000 years old and carries about two million mutations, which are more than the mutations appearing in human cancer (1,000 to 5,000 mutations).
