Giant frog from Africa
African frog is the largest frog species in the world. With a rough surface and smooth body,
the frog usually has an aggressive nature and temperament. Carnivorous amphibians that can jump as far as 12 feet and have canine teeth which are also used for fighting.
Senior Tropical House Keeper at Newquay Zoo, UK, Dan Garrick, who used to feed the frog it every day say, African frog, is a kind of greedy. "They are predators that the frog just sits waiting for their victim," said Dan.
How to hunt this frog is, by making sudden attacks on the animals could reach. Animals who become the victims were confirmed dead limp with shock prior to digestion. "If the prey is too large, then the frog will wait for his guts out," said Dan.
Although it looks very fierce, frogs, it is also a nature lover. Parent frog, always keeping their eggs and tadpoles from the threat of predators. This frog species is also exploring a special pool, to ensure that their children are not drought.
Frogs Africa or in Latin "Adspersus Pyxicephalus", is a beast-eating insects, rodents, birds and are known to be cannibalistic to beat the other frogs.
An African frog, weighing up to 2 kilogram with a length of up to 24 centimeters. This frog can be found in the entire southern African region, central and east.

Most feared freshwater fish
Candiru, also called canero is a type of freshwater fish in the catfish family. This fish can be found in rivers Oranoco and river Amazon, this fish has a reputation as the most feared fish by the locals, this fish is more in fear than the piranha fish. This fish can only grow to the size of 1 to 2 inches and width 4 to 6 millimeters, have a shape like an eel and nearly transparent, making it almost impossible to be seen in the water. Fish that are fast, strong swimmers, soft and smooth, with sharp teeth.
There are 3 species candiru: candiru sized finger and a toothpick-sized candiru usually eat in a way to enter the larger fish, whales candiru are scavengers who prefer to eat from a dead fish
Fish candiru is a parasite, the modus operandi is very simple and brutal: to find fish, fish candiru first taste of water, trying to find out the flow of water from other fish, knowing where the water flow, the fish will go directly to the crevices fin fish, there are thorns in the head candiru will hurt fish gills and bleed while candiru fish inside the fish. So candiru fish called the vampire fish of Brazil.
This fish is feared because they are attracted to urine or blood, and if someone swimming naked, they will go to crack the anus or vagina, or even if a small fish into the hole the penis - and possibly into the urethra). When this happens, the fish candirĂº, very difficult to be taken back except through surgery. Because these fish find their prey by following the flow of water from the gills to its source, urinating while swimming increases the likelihood candirĂº into the human urethra.How to kill this fish is the traditional treatment, with water from two plants: Xagua, and apple Buitach, which is inserted into the affected area. The second plant will dissolve the fish. It can also be through surgery, but the operation cost and time. More often, infection causes shock and death of the victim before candiru can be taken.

Pink Dolphins..
Pink dolphins, are rare freshwater species, dolphins that make their home in the Amazon River. Beautiful and smart (their brains 40 percent larger than humans), they are the largest among the four species of dolphins are known in the stream.Unfortunately, they are also endangered because of pollution, catching too many fish, and the destruction of their natural habitat.According to National Geographic, about 100,000 of them remain.

New Species..
A furry mammal with a nose-like proboscis appeared in the remote forests of Africa. Rather large rat was estimated to new species.
Expert conservation studying biodiversity in the forests Boni-Dodori, northeastern coast of Kenya, had set up a trap cameras in the area after a scientist to see the animals sengi (rat elephants) are not known.
From these images, researchers recognized the maroon color on the shoulders and back side of that species. These animals are also characterized by a lower buttocks with black. Generally, scientists consider that this creature is bigger than normal mice trunked. It is estimated, the object is to have 600 grams of weight, as long as 550 millimeters and 250 millimeters of a tail.

The team of scientists from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the DNA analysis to confirm whether the animal correctly, including the new species.
If proven, this animal became the 18th species of sengi, who entered the family Macroscelididae, where it all originated from Africa.

Japanese Spider-Crab
This is a super crab weighing about 45 pounds or about 21 kilograms and a wide cross section of about four meters feet. Crabs are often also called "Japanese Spider Crab" which has the Latin name 'cheira kaempferi' This is the world's largest arthropod species that ever existed.
The scientists believe that these crabs can survive up to 100 years or even longer.
"Crab tall giant" is alive in the depths of the ocean around the Pacific Northwest of the ocean waters around Japan. Crab is mostly caught by the nets of fishermen with an average depth ranging from 150 s / d 1000 feet (46 s / d 305 meters) in deep water.
Rumored that the giant crab is a creature of peace and non-aggressive, and can live well in an aquarium environment. They prefer a quiet atmosphere or habitat with a landscape of muddy and damp in the depths of the sea. These crabs use the 'snout' to check the area around the habitat they live to find a dead animal or shellfish as their food.
With a length of about 4 feet foot section, this super crab is 'king' which can not be conquered among similar types of animals in their habitat.

Tisa's Flower - Short Life
Palingenia Longicauda or also known as Tisa's Flower is an ancient insect species. Insect species is thought to have originated from 200 million in the past. One of the places the appearance of this insect is in the Tisa River.
Tisa River Tisa River or one of the last asylum, where every year these insects appear in large quantities. It is a rare spectacle, "wedding dance" on the Tisa River.
Only a few days in the month of June every year (not even every year) Tisa's Flower of birth, reproduction, and death. During three hours everything will end, life is very short. Insects of this type has no mouth, they live only to reproduce and die.
Life is very short, but very beautiful This is truly a rare sight difficult to be told only through pictures or words.
It is interesting to witness the phenomenon, which is one of the most beautiful phenomenon that only lasts for five days in the month of June. Thousands of these insects fly with spirit filled the whole river.
This Longicauda Palingenia insects, is one of the insects "mayfly" the largest in Europe. Male insects, can reach 12 cm in length, from head to tail. These insects are in the larvae during the three years. During the third year, the larvae are in the riverbed.
But their lifetime is very brief, lasting three hours. Once born they were growing up, in pairs and then immediately die. These insects have wings that is unique, their wings will change the skin, after reaching its main function.
Tisa's Flower growing up only one time. And at mid-month in June, at 5:00 to 6:00 PM, they will be dancing on the river in large groups. Then they'll change the skin above the trees, on land, or anywhere where they alighted.
This phenomenon is known by the name of Tissa Blooming or Expansion of Tisa. Once they are fully grown up (after a few seconds they changed the skin), male insects have only a few hours only to find their mates and females in pairs before they die.
Once paired, or reproduction, the female insects flying along the river to ascertain whether the eggs were already in the river and fell into the riverbed. Then the egg will become larvae within 45 days and will hatch after three years.

This insect is an insect that sensitive to pollution. If they were in a river, the river must have a clean river. Besides, as an indicator of the environment, insect food is also good for fish, so that some anglers use these insects as bait in their fishing rods.Currently insects Palingenia longicauda already extinct in some European countries and can only be found in Serbia and Hungary.

Cockroaches
Just because life in the place dirty, cockroaches are often regarded as a source of germs. Though insects are actually very hygienic precisely this, in fact contain potent chemicals that kill germs super.
Quoted from the Telegraph, Sunday (9/5/2010), scientists from Nottingham University revealed that cockroaches have more health risks than benefits. Recent research on campus proves that this insect contain deadly compounds to kill bacteria.
Tissue samples taken from the cockroach brain and nervous system, shows there are at least nine compounds containing toxic or poisonous to the bacteria. These compounds, even claimed to be able to kill up to 90 percent of super bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli.
These super-bacteria, is becoming a serious threat to world health in general, because the ability to mutate makes it increasingly resistant to existing antibiotics. In fact, the development of new antibiotics is not always easy, because sometimes even dangerous side effects of the patient.
However, of nine compounds found in the cockroach, and several species of other insects including grasshoppers, the researchers found no serious side effects for humans. Therefore, this finding has given new hope evaluated in an effort to control the growth and spread of super bacteria.
This finding is also at the same time improve the image of the pest cockroaches are always identified with the dirty environment. Actually, despite living in the trash and sewage, cockroaches including most hygienic because the industrious animals clean themselves like cats.
Some research indicates, much rather live bacteria in the human skin than on the surface of the body of a cockroach. Therefore, taking the food without washing hands, virtually identical to its gross, by eating food that has just passed a cockroach.
Even if there are health problems caused by cockroaches, the most responsible is the feces. Several compounds in cockroach feces and urine contain compounds that can trigger allergic reactions for some people, such as skin rashes and other reactions including asthma attacks ..

Frogs Skin..
The research team from the United Arab Emirates University have discovered a new antibiotic be developed from the skin of frogs. They succeeded in modifying chemicals to eliminate the harmful effects of the frog skin.
Scientists have produced 100 new types of antibiotics, including this one against super bacteria methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterial "super" is famous because it can cause outbreaks of deadly infections.
"The skin of frogs is a potential source for these antibiotics. They (the frogs, red) have been around 300 million years ago, so have plenty of time to learn to defend themselves against diseases caused by microbes in the environment," said Dr. Michael Conlon, a biochemist at the University in Abu Dhabi.
Dr. Conlon and colleagues, found a way to draw the structure of molecules in the skin of frogs, so that is not toxic to human cells but to be more powerful for humans to kill germs. Some other scientists found a way that allows the skin secretions of frogs, to avoid the attacks that damage the enzyme in the blood. The result is an antibiotic that persist longer in the bloodstream, and is more effective as a fighter against infection.
Scientists make liquid filtration over 6000 skin of frog species for the manufacture of antibiotics. The result is then purified and determined the chemical structure of the nearly 200 species that are potential for the discovery of antibiotic substances.
One of the potential for species of frog antibiotic material is yellow-legged frog Foothill. This frog comes from California and Oregon, but this frog species facing extinction. Fluid from the hairy skin of frogs also showed the success to combat the "Iraqibacter," a disease caused by bacteria Acinetobacter baumanni.
Research to find this antibiotic, conducted following the WHO's call to all members of the United Nations (UN) for the joint fight against drug resistant super bacteria antibiotics [read: WHO Calls for World War Super Bug Bacteria]. These findings were presented at the conference of the American Chemical Society in Boston.

New Guinea Singing Dog.
This one is the rarest dog in the world, and are found in Papua New Guinea. The name is, the New Guinea Singing Dog.Singing? the reason they like to howl like singing. roar just one note, but if there are some dogs, they will make like a choir.
Besides being a most rare, also may be the most primitive. This dog really coyote, a great tree climber, good at exploring the forest. Spine is very flexible, can even stretch the head until 360 degrees, the legs can stretch until 90 degrees, have molars that are similar to the wild dogs, which are normally used for chewing raw meat.
Wild dog, very healthy, and can live until 20 years.
When viewed, similar to the dingo of Australia or the Jackal.Their eyes glow in the dark, making this dog can see in the dark.
This is a wild dog, is not recommended to be used as family dogs. Hunting dogs as possible, because it has a high hunting instincts and tend to be aggressive. Need training since childhood.

Tick
Because of the extremely small size and difficult to see the invisible (beings that are not smooth tablets supernatural beings), the fleas are often unknowingly inhaled by us through a lot of air and dust were scattered around us, even some we swallow with food and drinks available.
This is a picture of a normal life and lice dust on the couch and bed linen.
Initially we may not be how shocked or horrified when hearing the bacteria in tiny dust was inhaled. But a more terrible is when we see how they actually form. Your mind will immediately think of the picture as aliens and monsters are scary horror.
This is a photo image of a normal life and lice in the fur of cats and dogs
Ticks usually live on bread, cakes that are not wrapped in hygienic packaging..
This is the work of science photography competition winner Steve Gschmeissner 61-year-old, who has managed to capture some dust lice and fleas food that is very small, and very difficult to be detected can also be seen by the naked eye. Quoted by ruanghati.com of the Daily Mail, said Steve Gschmeissner perpetuate these horrific creatures with a camera equipped with zoom Microscope that can enlarge the size up to hundreds of hundred times.
Still according to Steve Gschmeissner, dust lice usually live in an armchair, our curtains, bed linen and clothes, and jackets are hung, as well as our children's dolls, is terrible. Apparently, our everyday life, accompanied by horror creatures like this monster. Some of the lice which had perpetuated Steve Gschmeissner, namely food lice, who used to live on cereal or food that is not packaged properly.
Steve Gschmeissner, also managed to capture the green fly larvae, aka maggots is apparent from the closeness and very clear, well just terrible, just like a spooky alien creatures and scary. Message ruanghati.com, Come let us keep the cleanliness of both self and our environment so we are always away from the horrible creature vulnerable to bring this disease.

Tsuchinoko
On June 6, 2001, in a resort town for the peski called Mikata, Japan, found an unusual reptile, the reptile is considered a mystical beast "Tsuchinoko", a legendary snake-shaped creature who first alluded to in the 8th century .
The creature was first mentioned in the "Kojiki", an ancient text to the 8th century, which is a oldest manuscript of the Japanese language in the world. Although many reported sightings of these creatures during the war period, but the report met with skepticism, considering that no one ever been captured for study.But everything changed, according to local government officials named Toshikazu Miyawaki, a creature who was later arrested by residents of Japan some time ago, was really the legendary creature. "We decided to let these animals adapt to their new environment." He said. Local government has built an enclosure for the animal.
According to previous reports, Tsuchinoko is a reptile that has a length of between 30cm - 80cm, with a bigger head and fangs that are poisonous. Thing that sets it apart from other snakes he squeaked like a mouse noises. "Considering these characteristics, we can ensure that the animal is properly Tsuchinoko," says Miyawaki. "When taken to the town hall, his body was really thick and short. Some people also heard the squeaky snake.
Mikata small town, often using animal sighting reports this as a material for the tourist attention puller. And in 1989, the mayor announced Tsujio Yoshida even contest with prizes of the land area of 330 m2 for anyone who could capture Tsuchinoko.
Miyawaki said that the animal was captured about 70 cm in length when arrested on June 6, 2001, now has grown up to one meter. After more than a week exhibited to the public inside a plastic aquarium, reptiles that looked tired. After his condition stabilized a new city government will consider how to examine the animal. Maybe by taking a DNA sample from the snake's body.
So, take time for people who catch it, to receive the gift promised land. "Even if it turns out it was not Tsuchinoko animals, such animals still had not been found before in the world. I hope the species will be recognized by the world community. "Miyawaki said.

Glodok fish..
At first glance, many people will think that if this creature is a type of frogs ... But the truth is they are the types of fish, which many found in mangrove forests. Despite their long-only range of 12 cm and its color and hue they are not as beautiful as Nemo, but they have many advantages not shared by other fish. They can climb trees, take a walk in the mud, and they can stay alive even though not in the water. How might have fish that can live on land? This fish when the water will use their gills to breathe, and if want to go to the mainland they will develop their gills, and will be filled with oxygen and water as much as possible. Oxygen will maketh provision for not being in the water, and they also must be able to keep their gills and throat to keep it moist. And another thing, they can also breathe with their skin while in the mainland. Fantastic ....
Look,,, their pectoral fin, very like the shape of the foot. With fins closely resembles the foot of this, they walk on land / sand. Each time running, they will throw their bodies that will be followed by the rear of their bodies. Palmyra power they can leap up to 60 cm away .. When will climb a rock or a tree, they will rear their fins clamped, glued in place to climb by them. This type of fish is not a good swimmer, and they prefer to walk or even jump, to adjourn.
Glodok fish (a fish names), also an expert in digging holes. They dig holes with their mouths. So if the water is being put, they will soak in the hole. And if the water was receding, they will leave a hole for a walk and look for prey. So they dug holes in fact, they made like a home for them. Hole will be dug by the male which will also be used by the females for breeding, and also shy away from danger.
Their eyes are prominent also have the privilege ... Both their eyes were like a periscope, which can rotate in all directions. Even their eyes that can move independently. If one was looking towards the left, at the same time which can be seen towards the right side. Their diet consists of small algae, small fish, small shrimp, small worms, and also sometimes they can eat crab that has a hard shell leather .....

Tinamaou
Tinamaou is one of the animal groups of birds that reside in these forests, shrubs, and grasslands in southern Mexico to southern Argentina.There are more than 30 types tinamaou, and everything is included in group Tinamiformes Tinamigae family. Tinamaou shape is very confusing, because someone said that they form as quail, partridge and grouse. There are even some who say they resemble a form of ostrich, like Rhea of South America.
But their bodies are certainly small, beak that can cut very deep, small and rounded wings. Their body length ranges from 20-53 cm, with short legs and tail. Color of their feathers are mostly brown and gray and decorated with scribbled complexion or freckles.
Nest for the children they are made of tree twigs are ground and made very strong so that their children safe. Their eggs have a variety of colors, there are green, yellow, blue or brown purplefish. Usually the eggs are removed ranged from 1 to 10 seeds. And that incubating the eggs is the duty of the male tinamaou ..........
Tinamaou very seldom run or fly to avoid danger ... most of them bow body (away from danger), because when running or flying,,, they will very easily tired ...

Oarfish is Longest fish
This creature is also known as oarfish longest bone in the fish world, but unfortunately according to the investigation of the American fishery of fish species is nearly extinct, was last found in 1925 in Haiti.Here's the complete data, this fish has been categorized as rare animals :
Oarfish
Othernames : Ribbon Fish
Scientific Names : Regalecus Glesne
Size Range : 10-50 feet
Habitat : Mediteranean & East Atlantic
These fish belong to the category of rare and very seldom seen. This fish was so scarce that the camera never caught alive till the year 2001.
He belongs to the family that has four species Regalecidae. One species, Regalecus Glesne, we are talking about is get into the Guinness Book of World Records because it ever found a living with a body length of up to 11 meters.
The food is plankton and smaller sea creatures other. He is able to live up to a depth of 1000 meters. Curiously, this fish has no scales. His body was covered only by a kind of membrane called guanineThis fish has a red and a single fin fish, including a loner. However, when these fish are sick or dying, it looks like the loner was not willing to die in loneliness. So he climbed to the top surface of the sea and survived there until death. Maybe to attract the attention of the sailors, or just want to look at the sun for the last time.
The sailors of the past may have seen this fish at the surface and perceive it as a sea monster. For example, in the year 1860, when a Oarfish over 5 feet washed up on beaches of Bermuda, the people immediately connect it with the legendary sea monster ...

Draco sumatranus or Common Gliding Lizard.
Dragon ...Is there really a creature named like that? It seems that name is very closely related to fairy tales ...But how about if there are animals with a form that resembles a dragon, but has a much smaller size ....
Introducing: Draco sumatranus or Common Gliding Lizard. From its Latin name, we know that this creature was called the Dragon Sumatra by scientists. Although called a dragon, this creature is actually a lizard which has the shape of the wing skin on both sides.
These beautiful animals can be found on the island of Sumatra and is a wealth of fauna of Indonesia that has no beat. Sumatra addition, these animals can also be found in Borneo, Malaysia and Singapore. Generally, he lived in a tree. But when they wanted to lay eggs, the females will fall to the ground.Both the skin on the body can function as a wing that helps lizard jumps from one tree to another. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this creature has the body size of about 9 cm with a tail slightly longer than that.
Wow ... the dragon, there is a miniature of her,,,, fantastic!

Jellyfish
Jellyfish including ancient living things too, because they were found 650 million years ago ... they can live in all types of sea water, even they also had been found in freshwater. Jellyfish do not have the respiratory system because their skin is thin and that their bodies already contain oxygen through diffusion. Jellyfish have no brain or central nervous system, but the jellyfish has a loose network of nerves, located at the epidermis, which is also referred to as "neural nets." Jellyfish consists of more than 90% water. Most of the masses is part of their umbrella jelly material called mesoglea, which is surrounded by two layers of cells that make up the umbrella (upper surface). While the bottom surface of the body known as the bell.
Jellyfish have a unique reproductive system, namely either-sex and male and female will release sperm and eggs into the surrounding water, where eggs are fertilized and grow into new organisms. Jellyfish have the deadliest poison and has caused at least 5568 deaths since 1954. Each tentacle has about 500 000 sindasites harpoon-shaped needle can inject into the victim.
Largest jellyfish species are a jellyfish to a lion's mane. This jellyfish is one of the longest known animals and that have the largest bell (body) with a diameter of 2.3 meters (7 feet 6 inches) and the tentacles reached 36.5 m (120 ft). These jellyfish ever found stranded on the Gulf coast of Massachusetts in 1870.

Sea Horse
Sea horse is the animal that breathes with gills the water. Of their body is very varied, about 4 to 30 cm. They live along the shore, among seaweed and other marine plants.
Seahorses usually swim around at the reef to avoid danger. They usually are not many moves with their tails wrapped in the rock or crack rocks .....
They have a unique way of swimming, ie, standing up. How to swim they are affected by a very special system. Sea horse will move up and down in the water by way of changing the content of the air sacs in their pool. The number of air sacs inside pool was determined by careful, because if there is a slip inside the pocket pool,, would be fatal for them.
They will sink to the seabed when the bag is damaged or lost a little pool of air. And that means death for them ,,,,!!
Seahorses also have a unique more ...
Namely how to breed them, because the male who will become pregnant. But that does not mean that males will produce eggs, because females who egg production and after that their eggs will be deposited into the abdomen of male sea horses to be kept well fertilized. This process takes between 10 days to six weeks, until the eggs hatch.
Male seahorse will take about 30 minutes to give birth to their children. And the tiny sea horse is already able to feed themselves when they are born.
The number of sea horses can be born around 15 until 1000 tail, depending on the type of sea horse. And this world is estimated there are about 50 species of sea horses ..... incredible!

Dolpins
Dolphins are the most intelligent sea creatures, friendly and helpful.
Perhaps among the dolphins we often see dolphins swimming in the sea ..
But actually dolphins dolphins spent more time in the depths of the deep, dark sea.
Dolphins can be seen in the dark better than humans to see in bright light. How could it be? Since dolphins can determine the direction of vibration / sound waves, called echolocation by experts.
Dolphins breathe using the two holes on his head. And just below this hole, there are small sacs that contain air. With air flowing through these small pockets, dolphins produce a high-pitched voice. Then, this echolocation sounds emitted towards the surroundings are disjointed. Dolphins sound will bounce when hitting any object. After that Dolphins will consider carefully the reflections of this sound. Sound reflections from the surroundings will be informed in detail about the distance of objects from him, the size and movement. With this device, dolphins dolphins can scan a large area, even map the ocean. This is the dolphin sonar system of dolphins that scan the ocean floor like an electronic scanner. Systems such as this is used by submarines to find directions by using sonar.
Dolphins eye is very remarkable, that allows to see clearly below or above the water surface. Dolphins have a springy eye lens that can expand and contract so it can focus below or above the water surface. Thus they can see clearly where there are a lot of prey for their food.
Dolphins eye also has other advantages. Ie each of their eyes can focus on one point simultaneously with the other eye. With these abilities, dolphins can swim with one eye looking ahead, while another next to the eye may be watching the situation when there is a threat of danger.
Dolphins body and skin are also very unique,,, when the dolphins swim with the dolphins will be fast, thin layer of water will form their crust. Thin layer of water is called "barrier layer". Dolphins skin was created with flexibility that could allow him to move in a wave when the turbulence occurred. This prevents the occurrence of skin drag force that moves water to the opposite direction to the wave motion and turbulence on the barrier layer. Thus, dolphins can swim at high speed without a sound ........ Incredible!

Kukang
This cute primates called Kukang, and have a kinship with the polecat family .....
Their behavior is very cute, so often used as pets by some people ..
They consist of eight genera (genus) and divided into 14 types ... wow!
Of the eight clans, in Indonesia only just found a clan that is Nycticebus. Nycticebus and of itself is divided into four types anymore ....
1. Nycticebus coucang spread the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo, and surrounding islands.
2. Nycticebus pygmaeus spread in laos and cambodia
3. Nycticebus bengalensis, spread across India to Thailand.
4. Nycticebus javanicus, only spread out in Java.
Kukang is a happy night, including animals living in both the primary and secondary forest, bush and clump of bamboo trees. In Indonesia, kukang can found in Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan.
Their presence could not significantly be recorded, let alone seen a lot of free sales on this one primate.

SAKI
Saki is kind family of monkey...
They have two types of groups: Pithecia and Chiropotes.
Their presence has been very rare in this world,,,, now they can be found along the river of Venezuela to the east of Brazil ....
Their distinguishing features can be seen from the tail like a bush, has included in the chin beard, hair is very thick and short neck. If the female is brown to ash-gray with white stripes on each side of the nose, whereas if the male is black shiny ...
Their faces are similar to human faces longer grieve, hands and feet too closely mimic human limbs.
Height about 35-45 cm of their bodies and their weight ranged from 1-4 kg.
Their food is not much different from other monkey species, namely fruits, vegetables and small animals as well .....
Maybe when the day met the night with one of them, we would think humans who use the powder too thick (like the opera players ).... hahahahhahaa (laughs).
