Long tung is basically a surviving tool for living in tall., spiky trees.
Giraffe tongue is 45 to 50 m long !!!
Giraffe has long tongue mainly for these reasons ----
1. Reaching food
2. Protecting themselves
3. Keeping calm
Giraffes eat mostly Acacia trees. These trees are tall and covered with thorns.
Giraffes can reach this much height and their long tung lets it strips leaves between the thorns without getting poked !!!
Tongue is super tough and muscular. Thick leathery skin + lots of saliva helps it slide past thorns without getting cut.
With long tongue, giraffes clean their face, eyes and ears !!!

Big cats roar .....
Small cats purr !!!!
They can't do both ........ !!!
WHY ??
Its about their throat .....
Big cats like lions and tigers have a stretchy throat.
Stretchy throat lets them make a BIG loud ROAR !!!
But it can't vibrate fast..... So they can't PURR ......
Small cats like house cats have a stiff throat.
This lets vibrate faster making sound PURR ......
It can't make a big ROAR !!!
Cheetahs are exception...
Though they are one among big cats, they can purr not roar
Because their throat is just like a small cat ....!!!!

Answer
In the question they were asking about most populous country in southern hemisphere.
But in the options given, 3 countries Malaysia, Canada and Nigeria are from northern hemisphere !!!
Only New Zealand lies in southern hemisphere......
But I doubt about New Zealand as the populous country.

On land, animals need strong legs and long bodies to survive.
There are 3 reasons why round animals are rare on land -----
1. Round means rolling. But we can not control where we roll !!!
Land animals require to run, climb, walk and dig.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!
2. Round shape has smallest surface area.
It is best to keep heat inside.
But land animals need to dump heat as they run.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!
3. Round animals don't have limbs.
They can not reach or grab.
Land animals need to move faster to escape from predators.
That's why land animals evolved legs instead of round bodies !!!

World's tallest waterfall is Venezuela 's Angel falls.
Angel falls plunges a total of 979 meters, higher than most skyscrapers and small mountains !!!
Angel falls holds the world record for both total height and longest uninterrupted plunge.
Why the water never fully reaches the ground ??
Because the drop is so exreme, the water at Angel falls rarely reaches the ground as a single, continuous stream !!!
Long before impact, air resistance and shifting winds tear the falling column apart.
Thereby scattering it into billions of fine droplets suspended in mid air.
What descends instead is a vast drifting veil of cool mist !!!
This airborne spray behaves like a natural rainfall system. It settles softly over the surrounding jungle, spreading moisture far beyond the base of falls .
Sunlight often catches the mist at right angle, painting fleeting rainbows !!!

Actually judo was not fully banned forever !!!
It was banned for a short time in Japan after world war Ii by allied occupation.
After world war II ended, America and its allies were in charge of Japan.
They said, " No judo, No karate for 5 years !!! "
Why did America and its allies banned Judo ??
They thought Judo was used to train soldiers.
They didn't want Japan to learn how to fight again !!!
After 5 years, ban got ended.
Then Judo became a sport. Not for war ......
Judo was banned ......
Not by Japan but America and its allies !!!
Banned only for 5 years......
Now Judo is Japan's No. 1 sport.
India has won gold medal in Judo in Commonwealth games 2026 !!!
Its our nervous system doing it on purpose !!!
The top layer of our skin has only dead skin cells and keratin. It soaks up water and swells.
The layer underneath has blood vessels and nerves.
When we are in water for 5-10 minutes, nerves under the skin makes the blood vessels to get smaller.
So, outside gets puffy whereas inside skin is getting smaller !!!
Result :
Skin wrinkles up to get fit
It wrinkles in lines because that is where the skin is attached tighter.
If nerves to our fingers are cut , our fingers don't wrinkle in water anymore !!!!
So, skin wrinkling is the work of nervous system......
Wrinkled fingers work like tire treads. They channel water away so that we can hold wet things in better way !!!
So, skin wrinkling is for better grip.......
