Bekantan
Bekantan (nasalis larvatus) is a type of long-nosed monkey with reddish-
brown hair and is one of two species in the genus Nasalis. Bekantan are endemic to
the island of Borneo, which are scattered in mangroves, swamps and coastal
forests.
A very striking feature apart from having a large nose turns out to have
physical differences between females and males. For the male bekantan, the nose
is bigger than the female, but the female nose is not as small as the monkey. The
male bekantan’s nose is so large that it hangs over the mouth. If he wants to eat,
the male has to push his nose out of his mouth to get the food into his mouth.
In addition, bekantan are good at expressing themselves in various
conditions, such as when they are angry and happy, their nose will swell and turn
red. When in danger, the proboscis monkey will make a loud sound like a car horn
Lavender
Lavender is a type of plant found on almost all
continents. It has a purplish colour. It has a colour named after
it, called lavendar. Its Latin and scientific name is Lavandula.
Lavenders are very popular among gardeners.
Sometimes their petals are dried and sealed in pouches for
good scent, and sometimes put inside clothes to prevent
moths, who can damage the clothes.
Lavenders are also used in cake decorating, because
the flowers can become candied. Sometimes they are used in
flavoring baked goods and chocolate desserts, and sometimes
they use it to make a very delicious "lavender sugar".
Lavender flowers are also used to make tea. The French make
lavender syrup, which is used to make lavender scones and
lavender marshmallows.
Lavenders are sometimes put in medicine, too, and
sometimes to prevent infection - such as lavender oil, that was
used in World War 1 to disinfect walls and floors of the
hospital. As the folk wisdom says, lavender oil is also helpful to
headaches when rubbed on your temple, and lavender tea
