Odd couple: Meg Kumin captured this amazing shot of Sonic the cat giving a piggyback ride to Rosy the Rat. Perhaps Sonic was just too old, or too lazy to care about primal instinct. Or perhaps, Rosy the Rat was too blind, or too naive to worry about fear. Or perhaps... there are no rules when it comes to love within a family. (Mail Online)

David Doubilet, a photographer of the National Geography magazine says: "What I like best about underwater photography is giving a visual voice to the invisible." http://en.people.cn/n/2015/1206/c90782-8986420.html

120 Million #Red #Crabs Run for Annual #Migration in #Australia Millions of red crabs have started their annual migration from a jungle to the ocean on the #ChristmasIsland in #Australia recently, holding up traffic wherever they swarm. The grand parade of these crimson-colored land crabs is a world famous phenomenon. This specific species of crabs at this time of the year would flock out of the jungle to lay eggs on the seaside of the Pacific Ocean. The migration of the 12 million red crabs on the island will last for several weeks. Tourists and locals who long to witness this procession were held for some time this year, as the rain that triggers this massive movement did not hit the island until last week. At times other than the breeding season, red crabs are solitary animals that spend time defending their burrows in the jungle from intruders.

Splendid scenery of #waterfalls in #Iceland

From late November to early March, dazzlingly white #ice crystals form on the trees along the Songhua #River in northeastern #China , giving trees the appearance that they’ve been carefully dusted with sugar, these crystals form only when #fog freezes. This ethereal scene seen in Jilin, northeastern China on Monday pictures rime coated trees standing still while fog swirled around. The whole region was decorated into pure white, so fragile and light and seemingly not of this world.

Photos taken on Dec. 8, 2015 show a #sea of #clouds in Lushan #Mountain , east #China's Jiangxi Province.

#Invisible Man meets the Seven #Wonders in amazing #pictures by #body #art genius It is the most extreme version of hide and seek you're ever likely to see... or not see. Look carefully at these incredible photographs of famous landmarks and you'll spot a human figure merging with the background. The remarkable effect is achieved not by computer trickery, but by 35-year-old American #artist Trina Merry meticulously applying body paint to a model so he blends in with his familiar surroundings. Shots such as these at the #Colosseum in #Rome and the Great Wall of #China , both named among the United Nations' New 7 Wonders of the World in 2007, take up to eight hours to set up. And while you might think it's just a clever and fun illusion, Ms Merry explains it in much artier terms. 'The ephemeral nature of body paint forces focus and reflects on the reality of existence,' she claims, grandly. She has certainly built up quite a reputation since adopting her trademark body paint technique in 2006. Ms Merry first attracted attention by painting female subjects so that they blended in with the landmarks of her native #NewYork . See more:http://en.people.cn/n/2015/1208/c90000-8987026.html

Wildlife Protection Prioritized in Sino-African Cooperation During a brief state visit to #Zimbabwe , Chinese President #XiJinping visited “Wild Is Life,” a wildlife sanctuary that houses orphaned, rescued or specially protected animals on December 2. Considering Xi’s tight schedule, such a non-political activity indicates that #China has paid a great deal of attention to the protection of African wildlife and is determined to enhance Sino-African cooperation without sacrificing the latter’s ecological richness and long-term interests. Threatened by greedy poachers, the vast African continent is no longer a safe haven for wildlife such as rhinoceroses, elephants and vultures. To remedy the situation, wildlife protection will be a key topic on the agenda of the upcoming Forum on China-#Africa Cooperation (#FOCAC) in Johannesburg, South Africa, where talks will address the protection of wildlife habitats and curbing the illegal wildlife trade. China has been trying to do its part to protect African wildlife.

At the 24th World Economic Forum on Africa in last May, Chinese Premier #LiKeqiang promised to base Sino-African cooperation on environmental protection, pledged to crack down on rosewood and ivory smuggling and urged Chinese enterprises operating in Africa to protect the local environment and fulfill their social responsibilities. Li promised that China will provide $10 million in aid to African countries for wildlife protection and biological diversity. China has also assisted #Kenya , #Botswana and other African countries’ local wildlife and habitat protection projects by d

Duck-si service! Mum gives 16 babies a lift It's never easy having a big family but this duck has shown there is no limit to a mother's love as she takes 16 of a taxi ride across the pond. Half a dozen of the young ones appear to actually be sitting on her back, while the rest grab a hold of the train and take advantage of the slipstream she created for an easier ride. Mark Chrimes, 49, captured the image in Queen's Park Heywood, near Rochdale, Lancashire, England, and was shocked by the sheer number of ducks he spotted.

WWII retired weteran recreates photo to celebrate 70th wedding Anniv. in SW China's Chongqing Tuesaday. Yesterday, Cao Yuehua, 97, and his wife Wang Deyi, 98, went back to the Beiwenquan scenic area where they had their first wedding photo photographed in 1945 and took another wedding photo, celebrating their platinum wedding anniversary. "My darling, please give me a definite answer, which will reflect my once-pale youthful-ness……,” Cao Yuehua read the love letter he sent to his wife 70 years ago in front of the Shufan building in the Beiwenquan scenic area. Cao Yuehua recalled that he wrote the letter in the trenches the night he arrived in Myitkyina after taking a military aircraft. Cao, a translator, was ordered to go to the battlefield in Myanmar in late July 1944.  Cao returned China in triumph in late August 1945 and their engagement announcement was published on the Yunnan Daily on Oct. 20, 1945. More than 10 days later, they went to Chongqing and held a grand wedding ceremony in Shufan building in Beiquan scenic area. Wang was struck by a cerebral infarction last year and from then on she cannot think clearly like before and even makes mistakes when she is asked how old she is. But she can still remember the details of their 70 years of love. #veteran #love #forever #lasting #romantic #couples #sweet #hearttouching #loving #adorable #cute #anniversary #celebration #chongqing #wedding #memories #joy #happy #life #lovelife #loveletter #relationshipgoals #relationship

Mysterious sea creature glows electric blue. This neon blue creature of a surreal tie-dyed pattern is recently washed up on an Australian beach. The blobby creature was spotted on the foreshore at Broadbent beach by a local who shot video of it wriggling in the sand. Commonly - and suitably - known as a Blue Dragon, the rare sea creature eats blue bottle jellyfish, and along with a striking, alien appearance, packs a sting of its own. This particular Blue Dragon was filmed writhing on the sand and moving what appears to be its head at Broadbeach, Queensland, by Lucinda Fry, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported. Griffith University marine invertebrates expert Kylie Pitt said the creature was actually a sea slug, called Glaucus atlanticus. 'I would not recommend anyone pick them up because they can have a painful sting,' she told the Gold Coast Bulletin. #mysterious #pretty #neon #tiedye #bright #blue #creature #species #marine #shore #beach #sand #water #ocean #sea #seashore #australia #slug #seaslug #environment #nature #life #discovery #science #biology #interesting #coast #dragon
