The insulin plant is botanically known as  Chamaecostus cuspidatus or  Costus igneus from the Costaceae family. It is also known as Fiery Costus or Spiral Flag Insulin plant is a medicinal plant and capable of having Magic Cure for Diabetes. This is a recent introduction to India from America as an herbal cure for diabetes and hence commonly called as ‘insulin plant. It is an easily grown medicinal plant and is best for planting throughout the year. It is widely grown in gardens as an ornamental plant in Indian Garden and also grows wildly in many places. It has large fleshy-looking leaves. The leaves are spirally arranged around the stem, forming attractive, arching clumps arising from underground rootstocks. The maximum height of these plants is about 2-3 feet. It also flowers during the warm months. And they appear to be cone-like heads at the tips of branches. It is used in India to control diabetes, and it is known that diabetic people eat one l...

Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves , characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Their forelimbs are modified into wings. They have well-developed flight muscles that help during the flight. Their hind limbs are adapted for walking, hopping, perching, grasping, wading and swimming. There are epidermal scales on their legs. The endoskeleton is bony with long hollow bones filled with air cavities. known as pneumatic bones. Their spindle-shaped body minimizes resistance of the wind. The feathers help in preventing heat loss and reduce air friction by providing passage to the air. There is no skin gland except the oil gland. The lower and upper and jaws are modified into a beak. They have no teeth. They have sharp eyesight. The alimentary canal has a crop and a gizzard. The crops help in softening food, and the gizza...

Scientific Classification -  Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates  Monkeys are a large and diverse mammal group  that includes most primates.Most species are arboreal, using all four limbs to leap from tree to tree. They can sit upright and stand erect. Most species run along branches rather than swinging arm over arm like the apes. Monkeys are highly social omnivores, organized in clans as large as several hundred individuals headed by an old male. Basic features:  forward-facing eyes, eye sockets, grasping hands, nails, fingerprints, and large brains . Most monkeys live in the  tropical rainforests of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America, or the savannas of Africa . In terms of reproduction, there are two main types of monkey breeding: natural mating in captivity and artificial insemination. Natural mating is when two monkeys mate with each other without any human intervention. Artificial insemination, on the other h...

Scientific Classification of Deer  Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Infraorder: Pecora Family: Cervidae Deer are specialized herbivores, as is reflected in their large and anatomically complex digestive organs, their mobile lips, and the size and complexity of their teeth. However, deer rely little on coarse-fibred grasses, and they have not evolved grazing specializations comparable to those found in bovids. Instead, they are highly selective feeders on young grasses, herbs, lichens, foliage, buds, aquatic plants, woody shoots, fruit, and natural ensilage—that is, plant food characterized by low fibre but high protein content, toxicity, and digestibility. deer, (family Cervidae), any of 43 species of  hoofed ruminants in the order Artiodactyla , notable for having two large and two small hooves on each foot and also for having antlers in the males of most species and in the females of one species. The adult male deer is c...

A  rose  is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa , in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. Roses are erect, climbing, or trailing shrubs, the stems of which are usually copiously armed with prickles of various shapes and sizes, commonly called thorns. The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound (i.e., feather-formed), usually with oval leaflets that are sharply toothed. Plant your roses in a sunny location with good drainage. Fertilize them regularly for impressive flowers. Water them evenly to keep the soil moist. Prune established rose bushes in early spring. The asexual reproduction in rose plants can occur  through the stem cuttings . The new rose plant formed from the cutting is similar to the parent plant, thus rose plants are commonly grown by this method. Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They have been also used for co...
