One of six living subspecies of tiger, the Malayan tiger wears the characteristic striping pattern of black stripes on orange and white that provides excellent camouflage in the forest. Using its quiet stalking ability, a tiger will ambush large prey, often pouncing on it from the rear. Other than females with their young, tigers are solitary and come together only to mate. Each tiger defends its own territory from others of the same gender. Territories must be large to provide enough prey for a tiger to eat. As more and more forests disappear, tigers struggle to maintain a territory with sufficient prey.
A tiger may travel up to 20 miles a night in search of prey.
Unlike most cats, tigers seem to enjoy swimming and soaking in water.
A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away.
One out of every 10,000 tigers will lack the orange coloring. These white tigers are not albinos; they simply express a recessive gene.

Testing out my new Sony Ericsson K850i 5MP cameraphone at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow. ABSOLUTELY no replacement for a real camera.
I've been very disappointed with the phone since I got it, and have not yet managed to take a photo I'm happy with with it. Not recommended for a whole variety of reasons.
Bringing nature into the home will be a strong trend in 2016 – from the use of plants and living walls to using floral art print in interiors.
Since flowers are a natural source of inspiration for any artist and for that matter for anyone, flower photos and flower posters comfortably gained popularity in the world of art.

The University of Oxford Botanic Garden is an historic botanic garden in Oxford, England. It is the oldest botanic garden in Great Britain and one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world. The garden was founded in 1621 as a physic garden growing plants for medicinal research. Today it contains over 8,000 different plant species on 1.8 hectares (4½ acres). It is one of the most diverse yet compact collections of plants in the world and includes representatives from over 90% of the higher plant families.
In 1621, Henry Danvers, 1st Earl of Danby contributed £5,000 (equivalent to £744,000 in 2005) to set up a physic garden for "the glorification of the works of God and for the furtherance of learning". He chose a site on the banks of the River Cherwell at the northeast corner of Christ Church Meadow, belonging to Magdalen College. Part of the land had been a Jewish cemetery until the Jews were expelled from Oxford (and the rest of England) in 1290. Four thousand cartloads of "mucke and dunge" were needed to raise the land above the flood-plain of the River Cherwell.
The Garden comprises three sections:
* the Walled Garden, surrounded by the original seventeenth century stonework and home to the Garden's oldest tree, an English yew, Taxus baccata;
* the Glasshouses, which allow the cultivation of plants needing protection from the extremes of British weather; and
* the area outside the walled area between the Walled Garden and the River Cherwell.
