Two bees ‘work together’ to open bottle
Another video that had gone viral online is that of two bees working together to unscrew the cap off a plastic bottle.
The video was filmed in Brazil’s Sao Paulo, according to licensing agency ViralHog, and it has surprised people across the world.
In the 10-second-long clip, the two bees sat on opposite sides of the plastic cap and rotate it to unscrew it from the bottle. Once the cap had been loosened, they simply used their front legs to push it off the bottle.
“The video was recorded during my lunch break from work. I got a soda from a customer but soon the bees stole it,” the person who recorded the video was quoted as saying by ViralHog.
“Well, that’s it for humanity. We’ve had a decent run but if bees have mastered the screw-top lid I think this is the beginning of the end,” a Twitter user said while sharing the video.
“Incredible documentation of their intelligence. When they can actually unscrew the cap… that’s when we should be scared,” another person wrote. – ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
