A rare black tiger, exhibiting pseudo-melanism, was recently captured on camera marking its territory in Odisha's Similipal Tiger Reserve. This unique behavior was documented via a camera trap, showcasing the tiger leaving scratch marks on a tree—a common method tigers use to delineate their territory. The video, shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, has garnered significant attention on social media platforms.

Black tigers are an exceptionally rare variant of the Bengal tiger, characterized by their dark pigmentation due to a genetic mutation known as pseudo-melanism. This mutation results in the fusion of stripes, giving the tiger a predominantly black appearance. Similipal Tiger Reserve is the only known habitat in the world where these melanistic tigers are found. According to the 2022 All India Tiger Estimation, out of 16 tigers recorded in Similipal, 10 displayed melanistic characteristics .

The sighting underscores the importance of conservation efforts in the region. Odisha is set to establish the world's first melanistic tiger safari near Similipal, aiming to boost wildlife tourism and awareness about this rare species . This initiative reflects the state's commitment to preserving its unique wildlife heritage.

A small indigenous tribe in Southeast Asia, likely from Indonesia or the surrounding regions, where some members have strikingly bright blue eyes—a rare trait in people with darker skin tones. Scientists believe this unique eye color is the result of a rare genetic mutation known as Waardenburg syndrome, which affects pigmentation and sometimes hearing. The condition is inherited and causes patches of lighter skin, hair, or eyes due to a lack of melanin in certain areas.

The tribe has attracted global attention for this fascinating contrast between their dark complexion and light-colored eyes, sparking interest in genetics, diversity, and the natural beauty of rare human traits

The Indian Navy has recently conducted a significant maritime operation in the Arabian Sea, showcasing its advanced combat capabilities and strategic readiness. This operation involved the successful testing of the indigenously developed Naval Anti-Ship Missile – Short Range (NASM-SR), a collaborative effort between the Indian Navy and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Launched from a Sea King helicopter, the missile demonstrated precision targeting by striking a small ship target in sea-skimming mode at its maximum range. The NASM-SR features advanced technologies, including an indigenous imaging infrared seeker for terminal guidance and a high-bandwidth two-way datalink system, allowing in-flight retargeting by transmitting live images back to the pilot .

This missile trial is part of a broader initiative to enhance India's maritime security, particularly in response to increasing threats in the region. Under Operation Sankalp, the Indian Navy has augmented its presence in the Arabian Sea by deploying a fleet of modern destroyers, including INS Kolkata, INS Kochi, INS Mormugao, INS Chennai, and INS Visakhapatnam. These deployments aim to safeguard maritime trade routes and ensure the safety of merchant vessels amidst rising tensions and attacks on commercial shipping .

This rare melanistic leopard, often called a black panther, isn't a separate species but a leopard with excess dark pigment.

Though its coat appears black, rosette patterns remain visible under light. Found mainly in Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, its elusive nature and rarity make it a symbol of mystery and power.
