Biology deals with the various forms of organisms, and how the species come into existence and the interactions of each species with eachother and the natural environment. The study of biology comes from the idea that all living organisms are and work similarly and therefore should be studied as a whole. Biology is such a wide topic of science that it is broken down into many subcategories including botany, zoology, medicine and microbiology. As with most areas of science, biology is studied using the scientific method, a series of steps to ensure the accuracy of discoveries made about science. In short, the scientific method is a follows: the observer makes observations, asks a question, makes a hypothesis, tests the hypothesis using repeated trials, and publishes the results. The last part of sharing the findings is one of the most important because the submission to the public helps prevent false data. The experiment must be repeatable.

A goldfish can survive in a tank full of human blood. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Giraffes have no vocal chords. Porcupines float in water. Elephants are the only land animals that can't jump. The human body contains about 6,000 miles of blood vessels. Humans have less muscles than caterpillars.
