A mix of Red, White , Brown Or Yellow has been the usual appearance a lot of people have attributed to or seen in fowls . It won't be so shocking if an all-black fowl would look strange or scary to many people , specifically in this part of the world.

Nonetheless, as strange as it may seem ,this type of fowl truly exists. Going by the name Ayam Cemani , this bird has definitely caused many exciting conversations over the last few years. The Ayam Cemanis are totally black birds – not just outside, but inside as well (Their meat, Organs and Eggs) . In this article , we will be discussing some thrlling facts about these birds under the following headings. - Meaning Of The Name - Origin Of The Birds - Myth Associated With them - Physically Appearance - The taste Of The Chicken - Nutritional Value Of The Chicken Meaning Of The Name The Ayam cemani birds are a group fowls native to Indonesia and has been in existence for decades. Gotten from the Sanskrit Language, the word “Cemani” means “black” ; and gotten from the Indonesian language , the word “Ayam" can be translated to as “chicken”. Therefore, the name is Just a literal description of the appearance of the bird . Origin Of The Birds The Ayam Cemanis are very hard to find and they are a relatively modern breed of chicken all the way from Indonesia. They are a pure Indonesian breed and they are said to have originated from the Indonesian Java island. Interestingly, there is a belief that these birds have probably been used for religious and spiritual purposes (since the 12th century) . They were first taken to Europe by Jan Steverink In 1998. Myth Associated With Them These birds are believed to possess some sort of charms for good luck. In the preparation of some traditional medicines, their organs and blood are sometimes being used . Not only that, there is also the superstition of the Ayam Cemanis having some sort of magical powers that can make the communication between the land of the living and the land of the dead very easy. Due to these beliefs, they are used as sacrificial birds to please the gods in some occasions. In Indonesia where they come from, they are rarely eaten. Physical Appearance As earlier stated, these birds are all-black. So it shouldn't be surprising to see all their internal organs having that same color . The blackness can be seen in their tongues and beaks and as well as their combs and wattles - including their bones and meat . However, their blood do not possess this quality. They all bleed Red. As a result of a genetic condition known as fibromelanosis , the excessive pigmentation of their tissues is the reason behind the Colour of these birds.

Why crocodiles dont attack hippos

The reason Crocs live together somewhat peacefully with Hippos is because of a mutual understanding between the two.

Hippos rarely eat meat, and Crocs usually understand it's foolhardy to try to attempt an adult hippo. So, they don't even try.No interest in the Hippos side and nearly assured destruction on the Crocs side. Crocs sometimes do get in trouble from time to time trying to get a calf. Usually it's a seriously bad move on the Crocs part. Notice the difference in the tusk and tooth lenght in the pictures below. It is a clear difference of quantity and quality, I would rather go with the Hippos quality. Crocs teeth, are designed to grab and hold-tear, but not severe. I've watched adult Crocs, large adult Crocs, being destroyed by a single addult hippo on National Geographic Wide (NatGeo wild). You can't get around the 1.5ft tusks-and the hippo's agility. The croc doesn't have anything to counter Sunch a weapon. Also, a Hippo's skin is 5 inches thick in some places and tough as rubber, really, really thick rubber. Essentially, it's armor. The Crocs have some flexible scales along it's sides and underbelly, but these aren't even close to armor before the Hippo. Crocs teeth aren't near 5 inches in length and the 5000lbs bite force is distributed among all the teeth in contact, reducing the force to around 125lbs per tooth, if 40 teeth are making contact. The Hippo has 4 self sharpening, fighting canines with the two on the bottom jaw an awesome length. The force at each of these sharpened spears is upwards of 450lbs. Hippos have been suggested to have evolved, because the largest two canines for the Hippo are on the bottom jaw. This is the very jaw that will come under an attacking croc, easily piercing through the soft underbelly scales while avoiding the Crocs dorsal armor. With the armory of the Hippo, the croc, who is the supposedly threat, because of its mode of feeding, knows not to attack a full grown. Hippo or a cub when the adults are around.
Though the Hippo is often considered an omnivore, because it feeds on meat from time to time, does not pose a threat to the croc. Hence, the relationship that has forced a peaceful co-existence between them is based on respect on the Croc's side and understanding on the Hippo's. Thus, their ability to leave together peacefully. ***prbxselfnetwork***
