Black Tiger

A black tiger is an uncommon color variation of the tiger and is not an unique animal types or geographic subspecies. There are reports and one painting of unadulterated black non-striped tigers. Most black vertebrates are because of the non-agouti transformation. Agouti alludes to the ticking of every individual hair. In certain light, the example still shows up on the grounds that the foundation shade is less thick than the color of the markings. Alleged black tigers are because of pseudo melanism. Pseudo melanistic tigers have thick stripes so near one another that the brownish foundation is scarcely unmistakable between stripes. Such tigers are said to be getting more normal because of inbreeding. They are likewise said to be littler than ordinary tigers, maybe additionally because of inbreeding or in light of the fact that large black panthers are misidentified as black tigers.

Bronzed Cowbird


The Bronzed Cowbird (once known as the Red-eyed Cowbird), Molothrus aeneus, is a small icterid.

It breeds from the southern U.S. states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana south through Central America to Panama. An isolated population on the Caribbean coast of Colombia is sometimes treated as a separate species, the Bronze-brown Cowbird (M. armenti).

The male Bronzed Cowbird is 20 cm long and weighs 68 g, with green-bronze glossed black plumage and red eyes. The female is 18.5 cm long and weighs 56 g. She is duller black above and browner below. Young birds are like the female but have grey feather fringes.

Like all cowbirds, this bird is a brood parasite: it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds. The young cowbird is fed by the host parents at the expense of their own young. Hosts include Prevost's Ground-Sparrow and Yellow-throated Brush Finch.
