Yellow-throated Bulbul
The yellow-throated bulbul (''Pycnonotus xantholaemus'') is a species of songbird in the bulbul family of passerine birds. The species is endemic to southern peninsular India. They are found on scrub habitats on steep, rocky hills many of which are threatened by granite quarrying. It is confusable only with the white-browed bulbul with which its range overlaps but is distinctively yellow on the head and throat apart from the yellow vent. The calls of this species are very similar to that of the white-browed bulbul. Taxonomy and systematics The yellow-throated bulbul was originally described by Thomas Jerdon in the genus ''Brachypus'' (a synonym for ''Pycnonotus''), and later re-classified it in the genus ''Ixos''. It has since been re-classified to the genus ''Pycnonotus''. The alternate name yellow-eared bulbul should not be confused with the species of that name, '' Pycnonotus penicillatus''. The name 'yellow-throated bulbul' is also used as an alternate name for Falkenstein' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Grass Jewel-Savan Durga
Poaceae () or Gramineae () is a large and nearly ubiquitous family of monocotyledonous flowering plants commonly known as grasses. It includes the cereal grasses, bamboos and the grasses of natural grassland and species cultivated in lawns and pasture. The latter are commonly referred to collectively as grass. With around 780 genera and around 12,000 species, the Poaceae is the fifth-largest plant family, following the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae. The Poaceae are the most economically important plant family, providing staple foods from domesticated cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and millet as well as feed for meat-producing animals. They provide, through direct human consumption, just over one-half (51%) of all dietary energy; rice provides 20%, wheat supplies 20%, maize (corn) 5.5%, and other grains 6%. Some members of the Poaceae are used as building materials (bamboo, thatch, and straw); others can provide a source of biofuel ...
