Friesians horses are the most beautiful creatures in horse species, imo. They only come in the color black or a deep deep seal brown. So majestic
One of these too

The Most Rare Colored Fruit
The tiny, rock-hard fruits of Pollia condensata, a wild plant that grows in the forests of several African countries, can’t be eaten. But they have an extremely rare property for a plant. They stay vibrant, metallic blue for many decades, even after they’ve been picked. They produce the most intense color ever studied in biological tissue.
The vast majority of colors in the biological world are produced by pigments—compounds produced by a living organism that selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light, so that they appear to be the color of whichever wavelengths they reflect.
However, Pollia condensata produces its vibrant blue color through nanoscale-sized cellulose strands that scatter light as they interact with one another. Thus the fruit’s color is visible at the cellular level as pictured above.

The Magical World of Living Light
This is the mysterious spectacle of bioluminescence. Its hard not to revel in the beauty of this remarkable natural phenomenon. These glowing creatures are primarily a product of the ocean. They are the primary source of light in the largest and darkest area of habitable land on Earth, the deep sea. On land, they are most commonly seen as glowing fungus on wood (foxfire) or in the few families of luminous insects (fireflies).

Animal Of The Day: Vine Snake.
Found: Ahaetulla (Species) in Asia, and many Pacific Islands.
Description: Characterized by thin, elongated bodies, with extremely long tails and a sharply triangular shaped head.
Behavior: Lives in humid rain forests.
In Captivity: Frequently imported into the “exotic pet trade,” bad idea since they are really hard to care for!
Fun Fact: Unlike most other species of snake whose eyes functions independently of each other, vine snakes are distinguished by their binocular vision. This means that both eyes focus on the same point, as human eyes do. This is a distinct advantage in searching for prey among the leaf litter and branches of trees, giving vine snakes the ability to determine shape more readily than other snakes, who usually rely on movement to hunt.
