Why don't woodpeckers get concussions?

Good question lol. To prevent brain damage from repeated pecking woodpeckers have evolved a number of adaptations to protect the brain. They have small brains and the orientation of the brain within the skull (which maximises the area of contact between the brain and the skull) and the short duration of contact.

Okay so I cheated and went to Wikipedia lol.

Good question! Makes you wonder if anteaters get ant bites inside their snouts. Or if skunks are offended by their own smell.

According to this article:hiltonpond.org/thisweek030308.htmlit's because their brain is so tightly positioned within their skull that it cannot move. Brain can't move - no concussions. :).

They must have thick skulls or are just designed to be able to handle the shock. I would personally be knocked out within seconds!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
