Hello everyone, in this video I wanted to compare 3 of my favorite fruits part of the #Annonaceae family that often get confused for one another. The Annonaceae family is known for its fruits that consist of a βcustardβ taste and for its unique & symmetrical fruits that are produced. Not only are these fruits attractive to the eye but are prized for there sweet and exotic taste that rivals to no other fruit on earth. The sugar apple (A. squamosa) is known for its bumpy surface and creamy white inside accompanied by many seeds. Sugar apple is unique with its chewy texture and juicy flavor. A. cherimola or Cherimoya is better recognized for its smooth and scaled surface usually the shape of a heart. The inside is noticeably different as it is usually smoother profile than the sugar apple and stays together when eating. A. muricata or Soursop (GuanΓ‘bana) is notorious for its size and shape. The fruit bears tiny spikes that are soft to the touch - but itβs size is goliath compared to that of the sugar apple and cherimoya. The soursop is also prized for its healing properties that are abundant in the fruit. Out of the three Annonas compared I like soursop(Guanabana) due to the amount of fruit (pulp) you are able to extract and use for juices for the following days - one of these fruits can feed a whole family.

Zebra bullhead shark
The zebra bullhead shark (Heterodontus zebra) is a bullhead shark of the family Heterodontidae found in the central Indo-Pacific between latitudes 40Β°N and 20Β°S, from Japan and Korea to Australia.[1][2] It is typically found at relatively shallow depths down to 50 m (160 ft), but off Western Australia, it occurs between 150 and 200 m (490 and 660 ft).[1] It can reach a length of 1.25 m (4.1 ft).[2] The reproduction of this bullhead shark is oviparous.[2] |

Naja is a genus of venomous elapid snakes commonly known as cobras (or "true cobras")
Naja is a genus of venomous elapid snakes commonly known as cobras (or "true cobras"). Various species occur throughout Africa, Southwest Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Several other elapid species are often called "cobras", such as the king cobra and the rinkhals, but they are not "true cobras", in that they do not belong to the genus Naja.[1][2][3] |

Black-necked spitting cobra
The black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) is a species of spitting cobra found mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. They are moderately sized snakes that can grow to a length of 1.2 to 2.2 m (3.9 to 7.2 ft) in length. Their coloration and markings can vary considerably. They prey primarily on small rodents. They possess medically significant venom, although the mortality rate for untreated bites on humans is relatively low (~ 5β10%, in endemic regions under 1%). Like other spitting cobras, they can eject venom from their fangs when threatened (one drop over 7 metres (23 ft) and more in perfect accuracy). The cytotoxic venom irritates the skin, causing blisters and inflammation, and can cause permanent blindness if the venom makes contact with the eyes and is not washed off. |

The rinkhals (/ΛrΙͺΕk(h)Γ¦ls/; Hemachatus haemachatus), also known as the ringhals /ΛrΙͺΕhΓ¦ls/[4] or ring-necked spitting cobra,[5] is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae
The rinkhals (/ΛrΙͺΕk(h)Γ¦ls/; Hemachatus haemachatus), also known as the ringhals /ΛrΙͺΕhΓ¦ls/[4] or ring-necked spitting cobra,[5] is a species of venomous snake in the family Elapidae. The species is found in parts of southern Africa.[1][3] It is not a true cobra in that it does not belong to the genus Naja, but instead belongs to the monotypic genus Hemachatus. While rinkhals bear a great resemblance to true cobras, they also possess some remarkable differences from these, resulting in their placement outside the genus Naja.[6] In 2023, the Zimbabwe population was described as a new species, H. nyangensis.[7] |
