Amidst these alarming situation in Delhi, when environmental heads should be on their toes to make the situation better, the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) proposed the project for the redevelopment of south Delhi colonies for which they'll have to cut down more than 16,000 trees.

Did you know there are four species of frogs that prefer walking over hopping? READ LATER The Bumblebee Frog is known to walk on all fours Unlike most toads and frogs, scientists have discovered that four species of frogs walk around rather than hopping. These four species resemble the other common species when it comes to appearance but have several modifications when it comes to their hind legs, because of which they reach places by walking. Though these frogs are not related to one another, they do have similar physical properties due to which they don't hop frequently. What makes these frogs walk rather than hop? These species of frogs tend to walk pretty low on the ground, moving one leg in front of the other, replicating the motion of dogs. These species are not related to each other but are similar when it comes to the symmetry of their hind legs. These hind legs tend to be more symmetrical than all the other species of frogs and t...
