Green Ringtail Possum (Pseudochirops archeri) of Northeastern Australia's Queensland Region
Mira, Curtain fig trees definitely have an other-worldly appearance because those are roots, not branches! They belong to the species of strangler figs, which have lengthy, aerial roots: very useful for strangling their host trees.
Yes, the ...

Women and Children First? Titanic and the Suffragettes
Molly Brown was really good at the pragmatic responses. She spoke as they all should have at the time.

Oh, that must have been something to see. It is too bad you didn't have a camera. At least you have that wonderful memory of seeing this. :)

Best Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Nice ideas, Valeed! The Pixy Cubes are an excellent gift for young kids. I've always loved toy cubes, and some of them are way too difficult for a young child. The Peter Rabbit toy is also a great idea. I might get one for my niece, who is two ...

Green Ringtail Possum (Pseudochirops archeri) of Northeastern Australia's Queensland Region
That curtain fig tree is so unusual. So the branches grow downwards?? Also, the sting of a plant like the one you're showing (Dendrocnide moroides) can be fatal to humans? I used to roam through forests as a child, and I'd like to do that again ...
