    You give two very different reasons for our beliefs in the supernatural in your text: the need to understand what's going on and the fear of death. They should both find a place in your topic sentence and, also, should be more clearly separated and explained within the paragraph.

    I'm not really sure that these two reasons why people belive in supernatural things are related to each other.

As a matter of fact, this glow was caused by living creatures, which are actually a type of bioluminescent plankton called Lingulodinium polyedrum. Typically, these creatures float around the ocean undetected. They don't glow all of the time. It takes energy to make the chemicals that allow them to glow. However, when they are under stress, whether from strong current or crashing wave, they emit beautiful light. This marvelous phenomenon was used by director Ang Lee in the film  "Life of Pi".

Adult red crabs begin their breeding migration to the sea as soon as the wet season starts and can last up to 18 days. This proces is fixed around the phases of the moon. If there isn't enough time for individual parts  of their migration, they will delay the start. Female Red Crabs release eggs into the sea precisely at the turn of the high tide during the last quarter of the moon. The eggs hatch immediately on contact with the sea water. After about a month in the ocean, "Crab babies" gather  and leave the water. Numerous humans activities contribute to increased mortality among Red Crabs. The most common cause is crushing by vehicles .  For these reasons, "crab crossing" are being constructed on roads which cross main crab migrations. Chief Ranger Muller and his team are currently helping 50 million crabs on their annual migration. They have spent months for preparing more than 20 kilometres of plastic barriers, 31 crab underpasses and five metre-h

Peacock and computer screen

The main topics in this podcast are peacocks and colors. Lector tells some basic information about peacocks and their behavior, how work human receptors and what is the difference between normal color and color on peacock's tail named structural color. And how people could use structural color in technology.  I think that it's great idea to save energy.
