This glove could give some independence to elderly and disabled people

The Exo-Glove is a wearable soft robot

The Exo-Glove was created by a team at SNU Robotics, and it is helping some paralyzed people by allowing them to grasp and lift things up to a pound.

Most Colorful: Mandarin Duck

The male Mandarin Duck—a close relative of the Wood Duck—has the most elaborate combination of plumage, with bright red and orange cheeks, a cobalt and magenta chest, and dazzling patches that blanket him from end to end. These stunning creatures, native to eastern Russia, China, Japan, and Korea, far outshine their female counterparts, which are predominantly brown. Way to steal the show, Dad!

True to its name, the Sword-billed Hummingbird has a beak that measures up to four inches. But bigger isn’t always better: Because his bill is longer than his metallic-colored body, this South American critter has trouble balancing. The good news is that he has to maintain really great posture.
