Pea-Size Frog on Pencil Perch,,,


A newfound, pea-size frog, Microhyla nepenthicola, sits on the tip of a pencil.

One of the smallest frogs in the world, the species was spotted inside and around pitcher plants in Malaysian rain forests on the island of Borneo....

....The Oldest Material in Solar System....


Pea-size minerals inside a meteorite are the oldest known material in the solar system.At 4,568.2 million years old, the minerals push back the birth of the solar system by as much as two million yearsand an exploding star injected key materials into our system as it was being born.

The 3-pound (1.5-kilogram) parent meteorite, dubbed NWA 2364, was found in 2004 in Morocco and is believed to have originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

The tests reveal that telltale mineral lumps inside—called calcium-aluminum inclusions—are from a time before that asteroid belt existed. The minerals may have formed just after part of an interstellar gas and dust cloud, or nebula, had collapsed and formed our sun."This revised age is between 0.3 and 1.9 million years older than previous estimates,""making it the oldest on record."

....A Sumatran N Full Swing....


A Sumatran tiger faces a camera trap head on in Kerinci Seblat National Park, on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.One of the last havens for the Sumatran tiger—listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Unlike the well-known subspecies the Bengal tiger and Siberian tiger, Sumatran tigers "have not achieved international fame, and this is partly because it is so difficult to document this equatorial species hiding in lush evergreen rainforest..

Do V nEEd To HeaR Diz RoAR..AgAinn,,think ovr diz

The Asiatic Lion is classified as one of the most endangered mammals in India. There are just 360 of them left in the wild.Once the king of the forests, today he stands in need of protection. The Asiatic Lion ( Panthera leo persica) survive today only in the Gir Forest of Gujarat.The Asiatic Lion once roamed Asia from Palestine to India . Over the many years they were wiped out throughout their range mainly due to habitat alteration and hunting.The space at Gir is not sufficient to support a large number of lions and also they are surrounded by human habitation.
The Asiatic Lion is a social animal. Generally they live in a small pride comprising one to three males and one to four females with their young ones.
One interesting method is to recognize them individually by markings on their faces, as well as counting and noting down the arrangement of their whisker-spots.
A lot of steps need to be taken to save this elegant,tough and finite species...please....

"India's PDS fails to ensure food for all'"

The National Food Security Act has failed to reform the discriminatory public distribution system leaving many high and dry. The costly targeted system excludes the genuinely poor and encourages corruption.
Insufficient food for the poor.."Almost 50% of its children are malnourished and 75% of its women suffer from anaemia; and per capita food availability has actually decreased".
Flawed concept note.."If universalisation of the PDS is not accepted, those earning less than the minimum wage need to be considered poor".
Rising hunger and malnutrition problem..
Incredible India’ is that while it sports a high growth in GDP, it ranks 66th in a list of 88 countries on the World Hunger Index'.

POISONING DID BEGIN..Oil Spill...

The leak has set an ecological disaster in motion, which will see many casualties. The only thing is the casualties will not include human beings now. But as the lower strata of the food chain gets affected, even that possibility cannot be denied. Contamination transfers to higher levels of food chain soon after it reaches the lowest strata.There have already been reports of dead sea-snakes, smeared with oil, and the mangroves turning black.The stench of the oil can be smelled from as far as 150 metres.Just a bit of digging in the sand reveals a thin layer of oil that has already percolated in the sand and has formed a thin film beneath.

"V DONT HAVE ANYTHIN EVEN IN THIS STATE OF AMBIENCE"

“Let not grains rot in godowns while millions cry for food”.
A large amount of grains is getting rotted in our GOD OWNS...due inproper management and lack of storage facilities,,,think wat v can do n diz issue?????
