It is pleasant to eat eggs,but how much do you know about them?Both the white
and the yolk are delicious.They contain about the same amount of protein,too.Egg
whites are more popular because each one contains just 15 calories.While egg yolks

lay eggs that can be blue or light green.And you can predict the color of an egg based

between cating eggs and heart attacks.Number three:an egg that floats in water is bad.

It has been more than 40 years since anyone has found a
Japanese river otter.It is just one of the animals that have been
listed as extinct()or locally extinct in recent years.But the
development of technology could mean that the extinction of other
otter
animals is not likely to take place.
A huge challenge scientists face is watching endangered animals in order to help
them.This is where artificial intelligence(AD has brought a turning point in the way
information on these animals is collected and studied.The Maui dolphin is one of the
most valuable and endangered dolphins in the ocean.With a collection of their
summer behavior facts,researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mysterious
animals living off the coast of New Zealand.However,because of weather conditions,
researchers know almost nothing about their winter behavior.After four years of
devoloping and testing,these scientists were able to use a drone()with AI to
watch the dolphins no matter the season.The result was more wild areas provided for
them to live.
In Zambia's Kafue National Park,home to more than 6,000 elephants,Al is
being used to enhance traditional methods of preventing hunting.Cameras record any
boats that try to enter the park.Al immediately notices this activity and warns park
guards,who deal with the hunters.
In Brazil,AI quickly studied over 150,000 satellite pictures,discovering that the
world's largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water.Not until that
discoveries did governments realize how scrious the situation was.
The use of AI has helped to speed action and increase our ability to protect the
natural world for the future to come.
