SCIENTIFIC NAME : BOUGAINVILLEA GLABRA
COMMON NAME : PAPER FLOWER / BUNGA KERTAS / BONSAI
 Bougainvillea Glabra or its common name, Paper Flower is a thorny, woody ,high climbing vine.It is suitable as a decorative plant as it is bright and colourful in colour. It grows well in warm climate with full sunlight. This plants needs well-drained soil.There’s no need too much water because it can cause the plant to produce more leaves than its flowers.
 Bougainvillea has medical values to regulate menstruation,vaginal (white) discharge, treatment of hepatitis and cough. Roots, stem and leaves are usually used to cure.The flowers and stem are dried, then boil in water and drink it as tea.
 Bougainvillea leaves are used to cure variety of disorders such as diarrhea and to reduce stomach acidity.The leaves are low toxic. It also used for cough and soar throat.Infusions of the flowers used as treatment for low blood pressure while the leaves use to cure diabetes.Bougainvillea’s stem help in cure hepatitis.

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Amphibia

Order: Caudata

Family: Salamandroidea


Unique Characteristics
                Salamanders are a group of amphibians typically characterized by a lizard-like appearance, with slender bodies, blunt snouts, short limbs projecting at right angles to the body, and the presence of a tail in both larvae and adults. Salamanders are typically more active during cool times of the day and are nocturnal. During the day they lounge under rocks or in trees to stay cool. At night they come out to eat.Salamanders are carnivores, which means they eat meat instead of vegetation. They prefer other slow-moving prey, such as worms, slugs and snails. Some larger types eat fish, small crustaceans and insects. Some salamanders eat frogs, mice and even other salamanders. The respiratory organs among various salamander species come in three different forms. Aquatic salamanders typically breathe through a set of gills. Some of them feature internal gills that receive dissolved oxygen via gill slits. Others feature external gills that flare out like a set of tiny wings, while still others feature a combination of internal and external gills. Many terrestrial salamanders breathe oxygen via a set of regular, internal lungs. Most of these species breathe through gills while in their larval forms.The third type of salamander respiratory organ is actually the skin, they simply absorbs oxygen through their skin or membranes of the throat and mouth. Salamanders, like the majority of other amphibians, are relatively small vertebrates. On average, most adult specimens grow to around 4 to 8 inches in length. However, a few species can grow quite large. For instance, the Chinese giant salamander can grow to lengths of up to 6 feet, making it the world’s largest extant amphibian.Most salamanders feature four short legs of roughly equal size that extend from the sides of their bodies. However, two species the greater siren and lesser siren salamanders  have only a pair of front legs. Typically, a salamander’s front legs each contain four toes, and its rear legs, for the majority of species that have rear legs  contain five toes. Some salamanders, specifically the three, eel-like amphiuma species, feature only one, two or three toes per leg. Unique among vertebrates, they are capable of regenerating lost limbs, as well as other damaged parts of their bodies. Researchers hope to reverse engineer the remarkable regenerative processes for potential human medical applications, such as brain and spinal cord injury treatment or preventing harmful scarring during heart surgery recovery. 

                         Bellis Perennis

Bunga Dahlia or known as daisy flowers are belongs to Kingdom Plantae and were classified into Class Asterids. Daisies are the plants in Asteraceae Family which is lovely-looking and has a sweet smell. It is known  golden everlasting. The name Bellis Perennis derived from latin words which bellus means pretty and perennis means everlasting. 

       There are some characteristics that make them unique and rare. Firstly, daisies are mainly herbaceous because they are lack of woody stems. Most of them have tap roots but some also have fibrous roots that act as a food storage and anchors the plants to the top layer of soil.

       Second, daisies have unique structures which its yellow central have disc florets. Its petal have ray florets because of its attractive colours that able to catch insect’s eyes. The ring of petals are known as ‘whorls’.

       Lastly, daisies have hundreds of stigma, styles and ovaries that is capable for them to produce many seeds. This is to ensure reproduction is a certainty. This species are not going to extinct for a long time yet.

Flabellina iodinea (in malay)

Nudibranchs can grow up to between 4-10 cm in length. They have tentacles on their heads known as rhinophores which can detect taste, touch and smell. They have secondary gills which are exposed and take the form of the branchus.

There are two types of nudibranch which are Dorid nudibranchs, Eolid nudibranchs. Either of them spent most of their time in eating and spending approximately 3-5 hours a day inactive. Nudibranchs are carnivores and eat sponges, anemones, barnacles and sea slugs and their eggs. Surprisingly, they have been known to feed on members of their own species too. Like other molluscs, they have a hard, toothed feeding aid called a 'radula' inside their mouth.

Nudibranchs are hermaphrodite but they cannot fertilise themselves. Mating couples often fight one another over who is the male and who is the female. The fertile nudibranch lays the eggs very close to a food source so that the larvae will be able to feed when they emerge. The eggs contain chemical toxins to deter any predators. Once hatched, the growing larva move into deeper water where they develop into the adult form in all aspects except size until it reaches sexual maturity.

Perhaps the most unique and unusual feature of seahorse biology is the fact that it is the male and not the female who becomes pregnant. When mature, males develop a pouch on the belly, known as the brood pouch. In this species the pouch is formed after 6 months of life, but males don't breed until they are about one year of age. Breeding takes place in spring and summer; the female inserts her ovipositor into the male's pouch and lays her eggs. The male then fertilises them and they become embedded into the wall of the pouch. The pouch is very similar to the womb found in female mammals; a placental fluid removes waste products and supplies the eggs with oxygen and nutrients. As pregnancy progresses, this fluid gradually becomes similar to the surrounding seawater, so that when the young seahorses are 'born' the change in salinity will not be such a shock. After around 30 days of pregnancy the male goes into labour, typically at night when there is a full moon. After hours of thrusting, the miniature seahorses, which look exactly like the adults, are released from the pouch.

 

Scientific name: Panthera tigris 

 

Uniqueness

 

The word Panthera is probably of Oriental origin and retraceable to the Acient Greek word panther .Tiger also known as big cat. Most recognizable for their pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orrange fur with a lighter umderside. Tiger also classified in the genus Panthera with some animal such aslion, leapord, jaguar, and snow leapord and also in the familia Felidae. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habit that support their prey requirement. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.

 

The tiger which is placed in malaysia called Malayan tiger. Its scientific name is Panthera tigris jacksoni. Malayan tiger is the smaller species among all the other tigers. Its also can be found in Thailand. Due to the size and power of the Malayan tiger, it has no natural predators in its nativeenvironment. Humans that hunt the Malayan tiger and habitat loss are the only threats to the Malayan tiger.

Interesting And Fun Facts About Ostrich
1. Ostriches can live without water for an extended period. As a result, they will absorb water from the food.
2. The dark male ostrich often sits on its eggs at night and his paler female mate during the day.
3. Ostrich DO NOT bury its head in the sands like what many people believe. It only appears so especially when it cannot run away from potential danger, it always flops to the ground and lay still. The color of its heads camouflages with the sand.
4. An ostrich egg can weigh approximately 3 pounds. That is equal to two dozen of chicken eggs.
5. Ostriches have enormous eyes in the entire animal kingdom. They have three sets of eyelids. Their eyes are more significant than their brain!!
6. Since they lack teeth, ostriches swallow gravels to grind their food, and an adult ostrich carries nearly one kilogram of stones in its stomach.
7. Ostriches are the fastest of all birds or any other two-legged animal, and they can sprint at more than 70 kilometers per hour, covering up to 5 meters in one single.
8. Ostriches are the oldest birds on Earth. They have existed for at least 120 million years.
9. In the 1700s, ostriches were occasionally harnessed and used to pull light carts in South Africa.
10. The Roman Emperor Heliogabalus formerly had the 600 ostriches’ brains served up at a feast during his reign 2 000 years ago.
