<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Famous geniuses Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, of course, never passed an IQ test, but it is believed that this indicator was equal to 160 and 190. But there was a man in history whose intellectual coefficient was estimated at 250 to 300. His name was William James Sidis.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">He was born on April 1, 1898, in New York in a family of emigrants from the Ukrainian city of Berdychiv. The boy was named after his godfather William James, an American philosopher who was friends with his father Boris Sidis, a prominent psychotherapist.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">From an early age, parents strive to raise their sons to be genius. At the age of 2, William was reading The New York Times newspaper, and at the age of 8, he knew 8 languages ​​and even invented his own and called it Vendergood. At the age of 9, William made his first attempt to enter Harvard, but due to his young age, the boy was refused, but in 2 years he became the youngest student at this university.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/COa9EmBDZja/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

Not Einstein and Newton! Who is the smartest man in history?

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">One of the most interesting mysteries of wildlife is pink dolphins, also called "Amazon dolphins" or «inii». They are unique - this is a very rare species that, unlike ordinary ones, live in rivers. Which can also change color! We have collected for you the most interesting facts about these animals that are on the verge of extinction.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Although these dolphins are pink in color, they are born gray and slowly turn pink as they age. Males mostly have a more saturated color. An interesting fact is that when dolphins are excited, they can turn red.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">They mostly live in the Amazon River, but can also be found in the caves of the Orinoco River and some of the higher reaches of the Madeira River. Pink dolphins are called one of the most endangered species among all cetaceans in the world. Among the main threats we identify, we have increasing levels of mercury pollution. Mercury is a heavy metal that causes an increase in the number of annual deaths of the pink dolphin.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">They feed mostly on crabs, some small fish, small and large turtles, and catfish. Pink dolphins often swim looking down to see the crabs and turtles that are usually found in the lower reaches of the river.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Most of these dolphins are almost blind because the river waters are murky. In the process of adaptation, the eyes deteriorate, and the brain increases and develops. Unlike dolphins in the sea, these dolphins have much less developed dorsal fins.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">After mating, female pink dolphins bear a baby for 9 to 12 months. Usually, this period falls from May to July, when Amazon is at its maximum level.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The Amazon pink river dolphin is the largest and most intelligent of the five freshwater species.</p>
