But few people know that Cambodia also has an extremely beautiful pearl island, dubbed the “Forgotten Paradise”. The place to be mentioned is Koh Rong Island in Sihanoukville, where visitors will not have to spend thousands of dollars to visit a sea paradise like the Maldives, but can still watch the shimmering of the blue sea and golden sunshine. (Photo: Phuotvivu) Located about 20 km from Sihanoukville city, Koh Rong is an island located in the Gulf of Thailand. It takes about 2 hours from the mainland to the island. Seen from afar, the jade-green sea with white sand stretches along with the extremely romantic sky. Adding to the beauty of the island is the dark green color of the tropical rainforest, creating a fresh, free space with heaven and earth. In contrast to the vibrant Sihanoukville, Koh Rong is really a wild and quiet paradise that makes visitors from far away fall in love as soon as they arrive. (Photo: Visitkohrong) (Photo: Divui) The primeval forests and animals on the island are planned by experts from France and Russia for tourism. You can easily book a snorkeling tour to explore the beautiful coral reefs or rent a boat from local fishermen to experience the near-shore fishing trip, the feeling of floating on the sea. But the most special thing that this island possesses is a rare natural phenomenon called the phosphorescent sea. Most visitors come to Koh Rong just to get this unique experience. (Photo: Go Cambodia) These phosphorescent spots are caused by glowing plankton that emit pale cyanide when under pressure, creating one of the most magical glowing spectacles on the planet with its sparkling beaches. This species grows very quickly as the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus released by humans into the sea increases. Many people liken these plankton to sea fireflies. If fireflies crept in the forests creating a dreamlike scene like being lost in a wonderland, these plankton also sparkle in the middle of the sea like a galaxy under the water. (Photo: Visitkohrong) (Photo: Colourbox/P.Grebekin) To admire this sight, you just need to go to the darkest side of the beach during the night and jump into the water. Since the plankton starts to light up when you hit the water, use your hands and feet to whirl the water. The longer you do that, the more the plankton in the water will sparkle. Your every move, every move is a different galaxy with many shapes drawn by you. They are not fixed but constantly change according to the body. It feels like whether in the sky or in the water is a magical sparkling starry sky that makes anyone excited and ecstatic.

A new species of pumpkin toad has been discovered in Brazil. Researchers have uncovered a new species of pumpkin toad that is orange in color, fluorescence glow in the dark and is as small as 1 cm in size in Brazil’s Atlantic forest. This amphibian, Brachycephalus rotenbergae, is a relative of at least 36 species of pumpkin toad, named after the pumpkin popular for Halloween. Like the venom-releasing frog, the pumpkin toad’s vibrant color signals predators that their skin carries a toxin that can be lethal. This new species of pumpkin toad was recently described in the journal Plos One . They were found in extensive research efforts across Brazil to find new pumpkin toads. The identification of the organisms is crucial to the country’s biodiversity conservation, especially in areas with as many species as the Atlantic forest, where 93% of its area is lost, experts say. Initial cover due to deforestation and agricultural development. A small pumpkin toad crawls past the bright orange mushroom, which is a common feature of their habitat. Brazil has the highest number of amphibian species in the world, at least one thousand species. But amphibians worldwide are among the most vulnerable groups of vertebrates, especially when it comes to climate change. Lead researcher Professor Ivan Sergio Nunes Silva, scientist at São Paulo State University, said: “As a scientist, the happiest moment is when you see something new and you are the only one. best know. But unfortunately, today, we are losing undetermined species faster than the rate at which new species are described. Interesting story about new toads Images of the newly discovered pumpkin toad. Photo: Plos One. Professor Nunes and his team found the pumpkin toad B. rotenbergae through 76 field surveys between 2018 and 2019 in the Mantiqueira Mountains 2,132 meters above sea level. They spent hours wandering the cliffs and streams flowing through the forest. Most pumpkin toad species are quite similar. They are particularly tiny frogs, among the smallest in the world with a length of just over a centimeter and often have bright, tangerine skin that secretes a powerful nerve agent. Back in the lab, the team took DNA samples from 71 toads and compared them with samples of known pumpkin toads. They also analyze their physical characteristics, bone structure, behavior and record their mating calls to determine that this is a new species. The new pumpkin toad, for example, is smaller than other known toads, with a smaller snout. Other unusual features include black, matte patterns on the skin and a preference for living at higher altitudes in the Atlantic forest. The creatures cannot hear the sound of their calls because their ears are not yet developed, Nunes said. “Their communication is basically visual, because these toads can communicate by opening their mouths,” he added. In particular, it is a mystery that B. rotenbergae has bone fragments on its skull and back that fluoresce and can glow through the skin under ultraviolet light, a wavelength that they can see, But humans are not. Only two other pumpkin toad species are known to emit fluorescence, Nunes added. He doesn’t know what fluorescent bones are used for, but they might play a role in communication. This species has patches of bones on its skull and back that glow green through the skin under UV rays. Photo: Plos One. There is much more work to be done Professor Michel Varajao Garey, of the Latin American Institute of Natural Sciences and Life (ILACVN), said Professor Nunes and colleagues’ approach is comprehensive. Such a thorough approach could “reveal unknown diversity” and possibly reclassify some mislabeled species. In fact, up until this study, the authors say, B. rotenbergae was misclassified as B. ephippium because it looked so similar. The number of new species is unknown, but Nunes and his colleagues hope to conduct more surveys to find out where it lives, as well as look for more pumpkin toad species. Most of the rest of the Atlantic forest are protected in nature reserves, but these areas are still threatened by deforestation, climate change, and land use change. Although deforestation rates are declining in Brazil, more than 28,000 acres of forest land were cleared in 2018. Professor Nunes hopes the discovery will inspire governments and organizations to better take care of their resources, including closely monitoring endangered species. “Nature is only stable if it’s complex enough,” says Professor Nunes. This shows that biodiversity is paramount for a country as large as Brazil. “

He adds neon effects to his already completed artwork. Thanks to the ability of Maxim Sipakov, the tattoo series look more vivid. The light runs along the tattoo thanks to the neon light effect. Photo: @ m.sipakov_official. Maxim Sipakov has added neon effects to tattoos such as Joker portraits, artistic shapes … Light running along the drawing creates a vivid feeling. Besides, each part of the tattoo is decorated with a different color. Maxim Sipakov has a habit of sharing pictures of the work on his personal page and attaching the name of the tattoo artist who made it. The Russian artist’s abilities are not limited to tattoos, he also applies neon effects on nail polish. In addition to the beauty field, Maxim Sipakov often works with stills. Before that, he became famous for helping a series of photos of soccer players glow. Now, the illuminated images are all done digitally. Applying neon lights directly to tattoos is not possible because it requires a long research and testing process. The ability of the Russian artist to make the drawings look more vivid.

Some of the popular colors of this trend are green, yellow, orange and neon blue. Allure The pain of UV tattoo is not different from normal tattoo. However, UV tattoos are not recommended as it may cause itching, blistering, or dry skin. Besides, the drawing can only last for about 5 years and will fade away. The king of tattoos in America Mike Perfetto has about 40 years in the profession. He has tattooed for generations in a family.
