What color is your cats eyes?
๐Ÿ˜ถ What color is your cat's eyes?

  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Cats can have a variety of eye colors, including blue, green, amber, and even gold.
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ A cat's eye color can change as they age. Kittens are usually born with blue eyes, which may gradually change to their permanent color as they grow older, typically by around three months of age.
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ The color of a cat's eyes can also be influenced by genetics, with some breeds like Siamese having striking blue eyes throughout their lives.
  • ๐Ÿ‘€ Some cats can have different colored eyes, a condition known as heterochromia - a disruption in melanin production that leads to a blue and yellow eye. This can result in one eye being blue and the other yellow, or even other color combinations like amber and green.

How old is Southern Magnolia?

Magnolia grandiflora - Southern Magnolia

๐Ÿฆ• How old is Southern Magnolia? 95 million years old!
  • ๐Ÿ’ฎ #Fun_Facts: Magnolia grandiflora - Southern Magnolia, is a unique and ancient flowering plant dating back about 95 million years to the time of the dinosaurs!
  • ๐Ÿ’ฎ Its beautiful, large perfumed flowers are "primitive" and evolved before bees existed, relying on beetles for pollination. The tough petals and reproductive parts are a result of adapting to beetle activity.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฎ Another fascinating feature is its cone-like fruit, which contains striking bright red seeds. These seeds are covered in a fleshy coating that attracts birds and small mammals, aiding in their dispersal, making the magnolia not only stunning but important for the ecosystem.
