Darwin's finches
Darwin's finches, also known as the Galapagos finches, are a group of birds that live on the Galápagos Islands. They are not actually finches, but they are a kind of passerine bird.
Charles Darwin used the finches to provide evidence for natural selection. He realized that the finches have different beaks because they are adapted to eat different kinds of food. For example, a finch with a big beak is very good at cracking open nuts, and a finch with a long beak is very good at catching insects. Darwin was able to see that the finches had a common ancestor which is why they were so similar except for their beaks. Eventually, this led to the theory of evolution.

Wilson's theorem
Wilson's theorem is a theorem of number theory. Let "n" be any natural number. Wilson's theorem says that "n" is a prime number if and only if:
This means that if "n" is a prime number, the equation is correct. Also, if the equation is correct, then "n" is a prime number. The equation says that the factorial of "(n - 1)" is one less than a multiple of "n".

Pico do Fogo
Pico do Fogo ("Fire peak") is the highest peak of Cape Verde, rising to above sea level. It is an active stratovolcano lying on the island of Fogo. The last eruption of the main volcanic cone was in 1675 and all the people living in the island had to leave.
A lateral vent (the opening of a volcano from which lava flows) erupted in 1995. The only deadly eruption was in 1847 when earthquakes produced in all the island claimed several lives. Volcanic lava has reached the eastern coast of the island in historical times.
Its most spectacular feature is a volcanic crater (or caldera, "caldeira" in Portuguese) that is about wide, with a border ("bordeira" in Portuguese) that is about high. The crater has a slit in its eastern wall, and a large peak like a volcanic cone rises in its center that. The central cone is the highest point of the island (2829 m) and its peak is about 100 m higher than the "bordeira" that surrounds the crater.
The lowest elevation of the floor of the "caldeira", known as "Chã das Caldeiras" ("Plain of the Calderas") is . There are, within the "caldeira", two villages which were evacuated during the last eruption. Traditionally, grapes are grown on the inner slopes of the "bordeira" and there is some subsistence agriculture on the "caldeira" floor.
The mountain's slopes are used to grow coffee, while its lava is used as building material.
The Fea's petrel ("Pterodroma feae"), a Near Threatened species of bird, breeds in this mountain.
The endemic plants "Echium vulcanorum" and "Erysimum caboverdeanum" are only known to occur on the outer rim of the volcano.
