The Dubai Fountain - World�s Largest Dancing Fountain

Set on the 30-acre Burj Khalifa Lake, at the center of the Downtown Dubai development in Dubai, the Dubai fountain can shoot 83,000 liters of water at any moment and water jets as high as 240 feet into the air. Illuminated by 6,600 lights and 25 colored projectors, the 900 feet long fountain can be seen from over 20 miles away.

When the fountain was inaugurated in 2009, it had two types of shooters - super shooters, which shoot water under more pressure up to 240 feet in the air, and extreme shooters, which can shoot water under the most pressure to 420 feet in the air.

Because it takes a lot of time to build up enough pressure and energy to shoot water that high in the air, the super shooters are used the least during each show. The extreme shooters were used only once during the opening ceremony, after which they were disabled and no longer used in the shows.

Stunning Photos of Camouflaged Owls - Can You Spot Them?

Owls are fierce predators, but even they have to sleep from time to time. When they do, they are exposed to bigger predators as well as 'mobbing' by smaller prey animals. Mobbing means smaller animals band together to fight off the owl's feared attacks.

Certain types of birds, when identifying an owl on their turf, might band together to harass and fight the owl and chase it off. Also, owls rely on stealth and surprise when hunting, and so a good camouflage can be the difference between dinner and going to sleep on an empty stomach.

Here is a series of photos that express the camouflaged nature the owls. Well then! find the owls in these photos...
