Fried banana or Pisang Goreng (in Malay words) is a snack food mostly consumed especially in morning and afternoon. My wife and I are the big fans of "goreng pisang". We bought these at roadside Malay stall. Yummy! Oh yah, would you like to have some? Here you go...
Mother giraffes stand 4.6m (15ft) high, and give birth by standing up so that they can keep a close watch for lions, hyenas and wild dogs which could easily snatch a vulnerable youngster. Within an hour, when the 1.8m (6ft) tall calf has mastered its long legs and is able to run, its mother can lead it away from danger, the pair fleeing across the plains of East Africa at speeds up to 52km/h (32mph).
The ringed seal of the Arctic Ocean is the only seal that builds a den. At the onset of winter, a mother seal excavates a lair under the snow. Snug inside during the worst of the weather, she gives birth. She suckles her pup with fat-rich milk for one to two months until it has put on enough blubber to keep it warm in the icy water. A female ringed seal might make several snow caves, and should a hunting polar bear intrude, mother and pup can dive through an escape hole and flee to a safer den.
Hands and feet feel cold when they don't receive an ample supply of warm blood containing oxygen and nutrients.
