Rare Black Tiger cub at Hangzhou Zoo

A Rare Black Tiger cub appeared in Hangzhou Zoo, Zhejiang province, east China. The tiger cub was born without traditional stripes. His color is completely black and it attracts the attention. The tiger is very unusual, although in his behavior there is absolutely no difference from his brothers and sisters. The tiger is very playful and feels fine, no wonder people pay so much attention to him, but he does not mind at all. As scientists say, such an unusual color may be due to pseudo-melanism, i.e. strips widened to such an extent that merge with each other.

Actress Margarita. 1909. Million Scarlet Roses from Niko Pirosmani

Million Scarlet Roses from Niko Pirosmani. Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani (5 May 1862 – April 9, 1918) was a primitivist, one of those artists about whom people far from understanding art, say: “I would have painted not worse than that”.

Considered a national treasure of Canada (and the USA), the large-fruited cranberry sea has some peculiarities. In particular, its fruits contain air chambers, allowing the berries float on the surface. When the harvest season begins, the plantations of cranberry bushes became filled with water.
