UPDATE! Sacramento Zoo’s Playful Tiger Cub is Walking (and Roaring)

The little male Sumatran Tiger cub, born on March 3rd to mother Bahagia at the Sacramento Zoo, is now eight weeks old. ZooBorns has been reporting on the baby’s birth and growth, which you can find here and here. Named CJ, the cub is now a hefty 16 pounds, has almost all of his teeth in, and is very playful with mom. He is not eating solid food yet, but has shown interest by investigating Mom’s meals.

Visit ZooBorns to see more photos of the adorable cub, and check out a video of him playing and practicing his baby roar!

Nice kitty ;)

#Phytolacca or #Pokeweed is a genus of perennial plants. Pokeweed is used as a #folk #medicine and as food, all parts of pokeweed must be considered toxic unless properly prepared.

Another interesting fact for hump day ;)

thepoisondiaries:

Chokecherry, or wild cherry, is a North American plant that is known for its large sprays of tiny white flowers. The cherries are small and not eaten. The plant’s woody stalks and leaves are full of hydrocyanic acid, which is fatal if consumed. The poison affects the respiratory system, and rapid breathing, choking and asphyxiation result. So the plant is appropriately named ‘choke’ cherry.

Very interesting….

Very interesting

“’This is the apothecary garden. It is Father’s special garden.’ I gesture ahead as we come around the crest of the path. There is the tall black gate, the forbidden plants sway in the breeze, as if beckoning us inside – slip through the gate, you can do it – come inside now…” The Poison Diaries

Enticing..would you go in?
