11 MOST AWESOME HYBRID ANIMALS

-
Image
1. Tigon        The tigon's genome includes genetic components of both parents, thus, they can exhibit visible characteristics from both parents: they can have both spots from the mother (lions carry genes for spots - lion cubs are spotted and some adults retain faint markings) and stripes from the father. Any mane that a male tigon may have will appear shorter and less noticeable than a lion's mane and is closer in type to the ruff of a male tiger. It is a common misconception that tigons are smaller than lions or tigers. They do not exceed the size of their parent species because they inherit growth-inhibitory genes from both parents, but they do not exhibit any kind of dwarfism or miniaturization; they often weigh around 180 kilograms (400 lb)   2. Zebroid      A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid. In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion.

FRUITS WITH OUTRAGEOUS HEALTH BENEFITS

-

1. Raspberries

With a quick scan of this list, it's safe to say berries are the equivalent of leafy greens in the vegetable world. They're packed with fiber (8g per cup that's about a third of your daily needs!), contain a variety of phytonutrients, and their net antioxidant effect is, gram for gram

Additionally, a 2011 study showed that consuming 60 grams of black raspberry powder slowed the growth rate of colorectal cancer cells and the blood vessels that supply them in two to four weeks. Researchers believe that the fruit phytochemicals stimulate our own enzyme defenses that neutralize cellular waste products known as free radicals, which, left unchecked, promote cellular deterioration and lead to cancerous mutations.

2. Papaya

Papayas are a favourite post-meal fruit in Asia because it aids digestion. The brightly-coloured fruit is also a rich source of fibre, antioxidant vitamins and carotenes  brightly coloured nutrient compounds that have powerful antioxidant functions. Unripe papaya is also made into pickles and in Thailand, is used in a spicy, sour, crunchy salad (‘som tham’).

3. Banana

The humble banana packs a nutritional punch, loaded with vitamins A, B, C and potassium. They also contain an amino acid called tryptophan  a compound that improves the mood. Tropical bananas, especially the small ones, are particularly sweet, and often served as fritters (‘goreng pisang’) in Singapore and Malaysia.


Lemons are a citrus fruit that people often use in traditional remedies because of their health benefits. Like other citrus fruits, they contain vitamin C and other antioxidants.

Antioxidants are essential for human health. These compounds mop up free radicals in the body that can damage the body’s cells and lead to diseases, such as cancers.

Researchers believe that the flavonoids in lemon and other citrus fruits have antibacterial, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties.

Citrus fruits, including lemons, contain active components called phytochemicals that benefit health. 

5. Pomegranates


Pomegranates are among the healthiest fruits you can eat.

Not only are they nutrient dense, they also contain powerful plant compounds that are responsible for most of their health benefits.

The antioxidant levels in pomegranate have been shown to be three times higher than those of green tea and red wine

Studies have also shown that pomegranates have anti-inflammatory effects and may help reduce the risk of cancer

6. Soursop


And to save the best for the last...Soursop also known as graviola is a fruit that is found in tropical areas like the Americas, Caribbeans and some parts of Africa. It is green and fleshy with dark brown seeds and has a spike like skin.

The botanical name for this fruit is Annona Muricata. This fruit has been discovered to have much health benefits which are: it impedes the growth of cancer cells, antiviral substances, enhances immune system, contains antioxidants.

Note: side effects of graviola

THE HONEY BADGER

The honey badger (Mellivora capensis), also known as the ratel, is a species of mustelid native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. Despite its name, the honey badger does not closely resemble other badger species, instead bearing more anatomical similarities to weasels. It is classed as Least Concern by the IUCN due to its extensive range and general environmental adaptations. It is a primarily carnivorous species, and has few natural predators due to its thick skin and ferocious defensive abilities. Honey badgers are one of the most deadly creatures in the world. With their black and white fluffy fur no-one will ever go near this amazing creature. The honey badger is the only member of the genus Mellivora. Although it was initially assigned to the badger group in the 1860s, it is now generally accepted that they bear very few similarities to the subfamily Melinae, instead being much closer to the marten family. Differences between Mellivora and Melinae include a d

Surefooted relatives of the chamois, mountain goats cling to steep cliffs in habitats ranging from ocean shores to glaciated mountain tops. They are agile, methodical climbers, adapted to the insecure footing of snow-covered and icy cliffs, where predators are loath to follow. On these cliffs, they readily turn on their pursuers, including humans. Stocky climbers with muscular legs and broad hooves, mountain goats stand about 1 metre (39 inches) at the shoulder. Large males can weigh more than 120 kg (260 pounds), and females weigh about 60–90 kg (130–200 pounds). The hair is coarse, white, and shaggy o
