Which country is a home to great barrier reef?
Of course the country that has the Great Barrier Reef is Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is home to a great variety of coral, fish and other varieties of sea creatures. It is astonishingly beautiful, it also possesses numerous small islands which make it even more attractive for tourists. The reef is in danger as it faces the effects of climate variations like furious winds and waves, extreme heat and also human interference. Still I would like to visit this place, especially on a sailboat.
As a side note, I actually live right in front of the second largest reef, the Caribbean reef, I have sailed over it, but never dived as I am a lousy swimmer. On the other hand I can agree that you get to see breathtaking sights due to the truly transparent water, I guess the Great Barrier Reef must have even better views.
Which animal is famous for his faithfulness?
The answer, of course, has to be a dog. Dogs are real friends to whomever treats them right, and they are very faithful to their owners. Dogs will defend protect and do about anything for the people close to them. Definitely dogs are great animals, I do like them a lot. We have lots of dogs in this town, a lot of strays, even these guys are loyal, you feed them or treat them good, and they will be there guarding whenever you are close to them.
How much distance a lion can cover in one hour?
OK, this one had me stumped so I had to use Google. I was thinking maybe 50 KMs an hour, but according to what I have researched it is actually 74 KMs. per hour, far slower than a Cheetah who can clock 130 KMs per hour but way faster than Usain Bolt who was able to reach 44 KMs per hour. I guess I can do 20 KMs per hour, top speed, so I would have to look for a very tall slim tree to try to escape a lion, because they do climb trees but I guess on a skinny limb I would be out of reach.
Well, @sahar78, this is my entry.
