White Tigers


The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger, which was reported in the wild from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially from the former State of Rewa.

Currently, several hundred white tigers are in captivity worldwide, with about one hundred being found in India. Nevertheless, their population is on the increase. The modern white tiger population includes both pure Bengals and hybrid Bengal–Siberians, however, it is unclear whether the recessive white gene came only from Bengals, or if it also originated from Siberian ancestors.

Amazing 2 Headed Snakes

Have you ever known there are such creatures as an albino two-headed snake?
It has two brains. Each head, principal and subordinate, thinks and feeds separately. The snake was brought to Yalta from Germany within the framework of the project realized in collaboration with the Kiev zoo. With its help it was planned to attract customers’attention to the exhibition of poisonous snakes.

The Price of the two-headed snake was estimated at 50 thousand Euros. Due to the presence of the little thing the exhibition attendance increased 50%. Such a snake is a rare phenomenon as it seldom survives in natural environment. It is 3 years old and 70 cm long.

The wonder of nature prefers eating mice of certain size once a week. The process of feeding requires manual separation of the heads. Otherwise one headcan be swallowed by the other one.

Abandoned Russian Polar Nuclear Lighthouse

Russian Northern coast is a vast territory lays for a few thousand of miles and all this coastline is inside the Polar Circle. Long polar winters mean no daylight at all, just one day changes another without any sign of the Sun rising above the horizon. There is only polar night for 120 days a year.

So, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union decided to build a chain of lighthouses to guide ships finding their way in the dark polar night across uninhabited shores of the Soviet Russian Empire. So it has been done and a series of such lighthouses has been erected. However, these have been abandoned due to signs of radioactivity.
