Rhinoceros iguana (Jurassic park)



 
Remember Jurassic park, When I saw him, I was just like WOW! he reminds me of Dainasores. Back to age when they ruled on earth. Their name derives from the bony-plated pseudo-horn or outgrowth which resembles the horn of a rhinoceros on the iguana's snout. Rhinoceros iguana is from the family of Galapagos marine iguana. This powerful lizard's body is quite stout and is crested with a row of spines along the back. It has strong legs that enable it to walk with its body well elevated from the ground. They are usually a dull grey-brown colour. A fully grown male is quite an impressive animal - the can be 56 cm in length and weigh 10 kg. They are primarily herbivorous, consuming leaves, flowers, berries, and fruits from different plant species.

Each Orchid is different from each other and when see them, you will feel as if they are making different faces looking at you, these are amazing to see. These are also called as Dracula simia.

Research has discovered that the monkey orchid is part of a family containing over 120 species, mostly found in Ecuador.They are found only on the mountains of Ecuador and Peru at elevations of 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level.

When I first Saw this bird, I thought he is looking something closely, But when I found that he is actually the way he is, then I told myself, He is pigeons who has owl's eyes. This is the Budapest Pigeon. The breed was developed around 1907 by the Poltl brothers of Budapest. They’re one of the top flying pigeon breeds, able to stay in flight for up to 5 hours at a time.The most prominent feature of this breed is its head. It is wide and short with the width and length being of the same dimensions. The beak, while being short and thick, is straight set. The large eyes are pearl in color, with thick ceres almost frog like.
