Polar Bear eating in seaside.

Till we live in the cities the bears appear to us as nice fluffies, which are fun to observe and need a lot of protection from people around them. The very moment one founds himself in the North, those furry cuties turn into scary monsters, and no one ever wants even to think of encountering with one.

Looking at such mountain of an animal one believes that it is hard to bring down with a single rifle bullet. These are the biggest land predators which do not have natural enemies. They are afraid of no one and behave correspondingly.

A lot of people share their terrible fear which seizes when one comes upon a white monster. Once you see it, every snowdrift and ice floe will appear to be an angry bear. People living within white bear’s habitat literally merge with weapons.

Google Body Browser

The new 3D medical browser that will make us all doctors

Not content with letting you spy on your neighbours with Street View or hover over far-away countries Google has now developed a new browser that maps out the entire human body.

Called Google Body Browser, the hi-tech 3D application has been hailed as a breakthrough in the study of anatomy that could revolutionise our understanding of the human body and even fast-track medical research.

The gadget, yet to be officially released, lets you explore the human body in much the same way you can navigate the world on Google Earth.

It is likely to be the perfect tool for those hypochondriacs who like to use Google to find out what is ailing them and who will get a gruesome thrill from analysing every last vein.

Using the mouse, the body can be spun, before another layer of information is accessed

Sex for dummies

A couple from Germany went to a fertility clinic to find out why - after eight years of marriage - they were still childless. The cause of their trouble conceiving was an unexpected one.After eight years of childless marriage, the 30-year-old wife and her 36-year-old husband decided it was time to find out why they couldn't get pregnant.They visited a fertility clinic and the doctors ran some tests which indicated they shouldn't have any trouble conceiving a child.A spokesman for the clinic said: "When we asked them how often they had had sex, they looked blank, and said: "What do you mean?""We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate."The couple now knows about the birds and the bees, and with some luck they will have a child in about 9 months.

Home wi-fi 'could be hacked in five seconds'

Wireless internet networks in millions of homes can be hacked in less than five seconds, a study claims today.

The wi-fi hacking means criminals can spy on the activities of families, perhaps stealing their identity and banking details to raid their accounts.

The hackers could also use the wi-fi access to tap into illegal pornography or upload and download stolen music and movies without being traced.

Security risk: According to new research, a quarter of private wireless networks do not have a password

Shocking map that shows rise of 'botnet' PC infections across the world

More than 2.2 million US PCs were found to be part of botnets, networks of hijacked home computers, in the first six months of 2010, according to a new report from Microsoft.

The firm discovered that the US leads the world in numbers of Windows PCs that are part of botnets and that Spain has the most infected machines in Europe.

Between April 2010 and June 2010, Microsoft cleaned more than 6.5 million computers of botnet infections — double the amount for the same period a year before.

After 14 years of digging, breakthrough nears for the world's longest tunnel stretching 35.4 miles under the Alps

The drilling of the longest railway tunnel in the world will be completed today, 14 years after it began.

The last few yards of rock will shortly be removed, opening the 35.4-mile Gotthard Base link through the Swiss Alps which will allow trains to transport goods and passengers to and from Italy - and shave an hour off journey times.

The £624m tunnel through the Gotthard massif, including the 8,200ft Piz Vatgira, is part of a larger project to remove heavy goods vehicles from roads in a bid to preserve Switzerland's pristine Alpine landscape.

Nearing completion: The Gotthard Base Tunnel will be opened at both ends when crews break through the last section on Friday, making it the world's longest tunnel at more than 35 miles long

Cancer 'is purely man-made' say scientists after finding almost no trace of disease in Egyptian mummies

Cancer is a man-made disease fuelled by the excesses of modern life, a study of ancient remains has found.

Tumours were rare until recent times when pollution and poor diet became issues, the review of mummies, fossils and classical literature found.

A greater understanding of its origins could lead to treatments for the disease, which claims more than 150,000 lives a year in the UK.

Despite slivers of tissue from hundreds of Egyptian mummies being rehydrated, just one case of cancer has been confirmed. This is even though tumours should be better preserved by mummification than healthy tissues.

Fossil evidence is also sparse, with just a few dozen – mostly disputed – examples, Nature Reviews Cancer journal reports.

Even the study of thousands of Neanderthal bones has provided only one example of a possible cancer.

And references to cancer-like problems in ancient Egyptian texts are more likely to have been caused by leprosy or varicose veins.

Researcher Michael Zimmerman, a visiting professor at Manchester University, said: ‘The virtual absence of malignancies in mummies must be interpreted as indicating their rarity in antiquity. This indicates that cancer-causing factors are limited to societies affected by modern industrialisation.’

Scientists found no signs of cancer in their extensive study of mummies apart from one isolated case

Virgin New Spacecraft SpaceShipTwo succesful test fight over desert

Virgin Galactic's space tourism rocket SpaceShipTwo achieved its first solo glide flight yesterday, marking another step in the company's eventual plans to fly paying passengers.

SpaceShipTwo was carried aloft by its mothership to an altitude of 45,000ft and released over the Mojave Desert.

After the separation, SpaceShipTwo, manned by two pilots, flew freely for 11 minutes before landing at an airport runway followed by the mothership.

Moment herd of cows turns on a black bear trying to make meal of grazing calf

This is the moment a herd of cows turns on a black bear after it attempted to make a meal of a grazing calf.

The bear had spotted the calf separated from the group of cows on a 2,200 acre ranch in British Columbia, Canada.

But it got more than it bargained for as the mother of the calf and two other cows charged the creature in a bloody battle lasting five minutes.

The enraged bovines took turns to stomp the bear with their heavy front feet, kick out with their back feet and crush it to the ground with their heads.

The hungry bear bit one cow on the leg and left another with cuts and grazes on its face.

But it was forced to give up under the assault and limped away with a bloodied face.

Photographer Wayne Ray captured the fight on his ranch near Fort Fraser.

Backyard inventors go head-to-head in Google's £20million competition to fly to the moon

It was once a pursuit reserved for astronauts and top-secret government officials.

But now backyard inventors are hoping to land their own weird and wonderful spacecrafts on the moon after Google launched a £20million competition.

Nasa had previously estimated that such voyages would cost more than £1billion - with some skeptics suggesting that it is almost impossible to even fly to the moon.

But since the Isle of Man government has lifted tax restrictions of space exploration a flurry of do-it-yourself voyages throughout the cosmos are expected.

Internet search giant Google became one of the first to take advantage of the tax break when it announced the Lunar X prize in September 2007.

Twenty two teams who have worked tirelessly on their strange machines will meet in the Isle of Man tomorrow to thrash out the final details of the missions.

Representing Britain in the competition is the crew behind Astrobotic, a four-wheeled silver machine that resembles a moving road sign.

Julian Ranger, the UK financier who is raising cash for Astrobotic, said: 'We believe we can get the cost [of reaching the moon] down to $50m, a price tag that will transform lunar exploration and make the moon a target for for all sorts of commercial operations.

'Part of our business plan will be to get our rover to move round the site and take a 3D high-definition film of it.

'If nothing else, it should prove to the doubters that the Apollo missions really took place.

'We hope to use SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to get to the moon.The cost would normally be around $100m, but we hope we can negotiate a special deal for this high-profile project.'

Other hopefuls in the competition include Team Italia whose craft is a green dome supported by six spider-like legs.

America's entry, Jurban, looks like a large worm designed to negotiate the moon's rough terrain of craters with several small capsules joined together in the same way as a train.

Villagers stunned after pieces of Chinese rocket from lunar probe rain down from the sky

At first these Chinese villagers thought the two large explosions in the middle of the night were an earthquake.

But they awoke the next morning to see their village in Suichuan County in Jiangxi dotted with huge pieces of metal.

These images show the scene in their rural village after the rocket from China's second lunar mission crashed to Earth, narrowly missing crushing their homes.

Huge chunks of metal rained out of the sky after the lunar probe Chang'e II jettisoned its Long March 3C rocket on Friday night.

No one is believed to have been hurt in the incident.

China launched an unmanned lunar probe on Friday, the latest milestone for an ambitious space programme that aims to put a man on the moon later this decade.

Villagers in the remote rural village inspect the debris that landed in their village overnight

No one was hurt when huge pieces of metal rained down on the small community after the rocket was jettisoned
