Spice For Life Bridging People With Nature (Bahasa Malaysia)
28th Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Lada merupakan salah satu tanaman utama di Sarawak. Negeri ini mengeluarkan hampir 98% hasil keseluruhan lada di Malaysia. Oleh sebab itu, lada menjadi tanaman pilihan utama di sini dengan lebih kurang 67,000 penduduk luar bandar di kawasan tanah tinggi menanam tumbuhan ini.
.
Namun begitu, amalan penanaman tidak mampan boleh menyebabkan banyak impak negatif terutamanya kepada alam sekitar dan masyarakat setempat. Dua masyarakat Iban di Song, Sarawak menyedari kepentingan amalan penanaman secara...

Spice For Life Bridging People With Nature (English Subtitle)
28th Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Pepper is one of Sarawak’s main cash crops and the state produces up to 98% of the overall Malaysia’s pepper production, planted almost entirely by local communities. This is why pepper is people’s crop of choice with about 67,000 rural dwellers in the upland areas of the state choosing to cultivate the plant.
.
However, unsustainable practices can lead to negative impacts on the environment, resulting in diminished production and ultimately harming the income of the local communities.

Although Most People Associate Sharks With Tropica..
24th Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Although most people associate sharks with tropical waters, there exist species which inhabit extremely cold environments too, including the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) – a particularly slow-growing species of the Arctic Seas.
.
Growing up to 5 meters in length, these sharks hold a very special superpower – they can reach a very, very old age! Researchers using radiocarbon dating technique have managed to determine that these special sharks could live up to 500 years old, with ...

While The General Misconception Might Be That Fish..
24th Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
While the general misconception might be that fishes – therefore, also sharks and rays – don’t feel or think, this is far from the truth.
.
With the largest brain-to-size ratio of any cold-blooded fish, manta rays are the true super-brains of the big blue! For example, studies have shown that mantas might be capable of recognizing themselves in the mirror – an ability they share with dolphins, primates, and elephants, which indicates high cognitive function.
.
It has also been shown that...

In Spite Of Their Rather Inconspicuous Looks, Swel..
23rd Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
In spite of their rather inconspicuous looks, swell sharks (Cephaloscyllium uter) can proudly boast a cool super-power that no other elasmobranch species has been observed to display.
.
When in danger, swell sharks turn into real shapeshifters, puffing themselves up to double in size and appear much larger than they really are.
.
At around 90cm in length, these rather small sharks have two different stomachs – to use their super-power, they inhale seawater and inflate one of these stomachs. Wi...

23rd Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
A small and beautifully patterned species of a carpet shark – brownbanded bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium punctatum) – barely reaches 1 metre in length.
.
Inhabiting inshore coral reefs and sandy bottoms, this species is oviparous, with mature females laying eggs. While sharks in general have electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini, which help adults sense minute changes in electric fields and are often used for hunting, shark embryos use it as a defence mechanism.

Embryos of these bambo...

Hammerhead Sharks, Some Of The Most Iconic Marine ..
22nd Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Hammerhead sharks, some of the most iconic marine predators on our blue planet, getting their name and fame from their unusual hammer-like head. But there is one more crucial benefit their special cephalofoil (this special head shape) brings them – their super-sight!
.
Thanks to this unique anatomical trait, hammerheads show enhanced binocular vision when compared to most shark species. Their horizontal range of view is much larger; they also have a full 360 ̊ vertical vision. For comparison,...

Zebra Shark Stegostoma Tigrinum Is A Small Species..
22nd Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Zebra shark (Stegostoma tigrinum) is a small species inhabiting shallow coral reefs, which – believe it or not – can clone itself!
.
It has been observed that Zebra sharks can reproduce through the process of parthenogenesis where the female produces offspring without fertilization by a male. Through this form of asexual reproduction, female Zebra sharks produce genetically identical offspring, which are clones of each other and the parent. If this isn’t a real superpower, then what is?

21st Jul 2020, by WWF Malaysia
Walking, you may say, even I can do that. But for a fish to walk – that is quite something!
.
A small species of an in-shore shark inhabiting coral reefs – the Epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) – has quite an unusual superpower for a fish. Yes, it can walk! Inhabiting shallow coral reefs, this species uses its paired fins to crawl over the coral when hunting – in fact, it prefers to do that instead of swimming.
.
And if walking wasn’t cool enough for a shark, the Epaulette shark...
