| Cannibalism (zoology) zoology, cannibalism is the act of one individual of a species consuming all or part of another individual of the same species as food. Cannibalism is a common ecological interaction in the animal kingdom and has been recorded for more than 1500 species (this estimate is from 1981, and likely a gross underestimation).Unlike previously believed, cannibalism is not just a result of extreme food shortage or artificial conditions, but commonly occurs under natural conditions in a variety of species.

| Fetch (game) Fetch is a game usually played with a dog. An object, such as a stick or ball, is thrown a moderate distance away from the animal, and it is the animal's objective to grab and retrieve it. Many times, the owner of the animal will say "Fetch" to the animal before or after throwing the object.Dogs will sometimes attempt to change the rules of the game after the object being thrown is retrieved, and will run away carrying the retrieved objects.

| Origin of birds origin of birds is a contentious topic within evolutionary biology and has been for many years. A close relationship between birds and dinosaurs was first proposed in the nineteenth century after the discovery of the primitive bird Archaeopteryx in Germany. Origin_of_birds

| Zapotec civilization The Zapotec civilization was an indigenous pre-Columbian civilization that flourished in the Valley of Oaxaca of southern Mesoamerica. Archaeological evidence shows their culture goes back at least 2500 years. They left archaeological evidence at the ancient city of Monte Albán in the form of buildings, ball courts, magnificent tombs and grave goods including finely worked gold jewelry.

| Damaraland Mole Rat The Damaraland Mole Rat, or Damaraland blesmol (Cryptomys damarensis) is a burrowing rodent found in sub-Saharan Africa. Along with the smaller, less hairy Naked Mole Rat, it is one of only two known eusocial mammals.Named after Damaraland, Namibia, the Damaraland Mole Rat lives in continually excavated networks of underground tunnels, which it digs with its front teeth, which are essentially outside its mouth.

| Quantum game theory Quantum game theory is an extension of classical game theory to the quantum domain. It differs from classical game theory in three primary ways Superposed initial states, Quantum entanglement of initial states, Superposition of strategies to be used on the initial states. This theory is based on the physics of information much like quantum cryptography. Quantum_game_theory

| Low energy transfers Low energy transfers, or low energy trajectories, are routes in space which allow spacecraft to change orbits using very little fuel. These routes work in other systems, such as traveling between the satellites of Jupiter. The drawback of such trajectories is that they take very much longer.Low energy transfers follow special pathways in space, sometimes referred to as the Interplanetary Transport Network.

| Star Spangled Banner Flag The Star-Spangled Banner Flag or the Great Garrison Flag is the garrison flag that flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor during the naval portion of the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812. Seeing the flag during the battle inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem "The Star-Spangled Banner", which would later become the national anthem of the United States. Star_Spangled_Banner_Flag

| Nanocrystal solar cell Nanocrystal solar cells or quantum dot solar cells, are solar cells based on a silicon substrate with a coating of nanocrystals. While previous methods of quantum dot creation relied on expensive molecular beam epitaxy processes, fabrication using colloidal synthesis allows for a more cost-effective manufacture.

| Tricholoma equestre Tricholoma equestre or Tricholoma flavovirens, also known as Man on horseback or Yellow knight is a formerly widely eaten but hazardous fungus of the Tricholoma genus that forms ectomycorrhiza with pine trees. Known as Grünling in German and canari in French, it has been treasured as an edible mushroom worldwide and is especially abundant in France. Although it is regarded as quite tasty, cases of poisoning from eating T. equestre have been reported. Research has revealed it to have poisonous properties. Tricholoma_equestre
