The Tough-Skinned Tamandua Is Hard as Nails


Meet Tammy and Lucho. They're tamanduas, the smaller cousins of the giant anteater. When a predator gets too close, the tamandua will release a stinky spray four times stronger than a skunk's. Its coarse, thick fur also keeps ants at bay. But hunting and the exotic pet trade are a constant threat. This is the tamandua.

Molten Copper vs Ice Exploding Ice


I'm Pouring molten scrap copper on ice. In this video i don't know why but it caused an explosion. I'm not sure what went wrong, when i was pouring the copper on the ice it was weird because it wasn't even making any sound. The explosion sent molten copper flying everywhere even burned my right hand my shoulder and my foot and to top it off it even caused a fire on a wood pile like 40 feet away. when the camera falls you can hear ice and copper falling from the sky at 0:14 seconds in my video. and on 0:19 seconds you can see the molten copper flying. I'm Melting Copper using my metal melting propane furnace. This furnace is capable of reaching temperatures up to 2500 °F

A Look Back at the OJ Simpson Verdict -- Different Reactions From Different People


This is a look back at the different reactions to the OJ Simpson verdict some 20 years ago (exact date of verdict was Oct 3, 1995). What started off as a murder trial evolved into a case about race, celebrity, wealth, and what wealth could buy. Only three years earlier in the same city of Los Angeles, riots occurred after a jury acquitted three police officers involved in the Rodney King beating. This was fresh in the minds of the American public at the time of the OJ Simpson trial.

The OJ Simpson jury consisted of 9 Blacks, 1 Hispanic, and 2 Whites. It would raise eyebrows after they only deliberated for 4 hours in a case that they were involved in for almost a year. It's important to note that the clip also shows that not all African-Americans thought OJ was innocent.
