How Would a Six-Winged Angel Fly?

2 pairs would be used for movement, flapping and so on, the last would be used as stabilizers, and as an easier way to keep the weight of the human, these would be bigger, as they do not need to be fl …

Is an organism possible which has an organ at a pressure of 5.5 bar/80psi?

In an earth-like environment (above sea level), could an animal have an organ which could exert pressures equal to 5.5 bar 80 psi, enough to maintain liquid CO2? Taking in account that the temperature …

How would a giant reptile creature hunt in a desert?

it could have very slow metabolism, meaning one catch could last long, and it should be able to hunt at night, plus, if it has super accurate thermal vision/echolocation/sense of smell/vibrations it w …
