Wild and Wonderful - Around the World with Éanna

Éanna Ní Lamhna

Summary

Glow-in-the-dark owls, eggs boiling in Icelandic hot pools, the gangster tactics of the devil's coach-horse beetle … Éanna Ní Lamhna has seen them all! 
Éanna explores the wonders of our wild world, from a safari in Tanzania to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, from rat-hunting in Canada to whale watching in New Zealand. She draws on her experience as a diver to tell of face-to-face encounters with fascinating fan worms, elusive sea hares and a murderous crab, and rings the alarm bells on the environmental challenges facing us. 
Éanna also recounts with cheerful relish the pitfalls and delights of being a broadcaster and a scientist. Sure why would anyone want to be anything else?

Pokemon - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

POKÉMON
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Pokémon franchise began with Pocket Monsters Red and Green in 1996. It features creatures called Pokémon that humans coexist with. Players take the role of a Pokémon Trainer, who explores the world, catches Pokémon, and battles. The franchise includes video games, anime, and trading cards. The name "Pokémon" is an abbreviation of "Pocket Monsters". The franchise's primary target audience is children aged 5 to 12, but it attracts people of all ages. The franchise was conceived by Satoshi Tajiri, who was inspired by his childhood hobby of collecting insects. As of January 2024, 1,025 Pokémon species have been introduced.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Pokémon franchise was created by Satoshi Tajiri, who as a child enjoyed collecting insects and other small creatures. This childhood hobby inspired the concept of catching and collecting Pokémon in the game.
The initial idea for Pokémon involved using the Game Boy's link cable to allow players to exchange creatures, an idea inspired by the random item appearances in the game Dragon Quest II. Tajiri realized the cable could be used for something other than competing.
Gashapon capsules, toy-filled capsules from vending machines, were also an inspiration for the way Pokémon are captured and stored. The idea of miniaturized creatures stored in capsules was influenced by the show Ultraseven.
The original name for Pokémon was going to be Capsule Monsters, but it could not be trademarked, leading to the name Pocket Monsters, which was eventually shortened to Pokémon. The word "capsule" could not be used in the trademark.
