Monkeys Love Ice Lollies

 

“Monkeys at a Chinese zoo are cooling off with ice lollies as temperatures reach 40 degrees. Zhengzhou Zoo hands out two to each parched primate per day, and their keeper explained how they developed a taste for the them. “The first time they didn’t dare try them until we threw some into the water,” he said. “A brave one tried it and screamed how good it was, which attracted others to fight for them.” He added that the monkeys now wait patiently for the lollies, and sit in a circle around him as they’re handed out.”

Up Close W/ Alcohol

“These amazing pictures, produced by Bevshots, show different types of alcohol and mixed drinks after the drinks have dried onto slides. The entire process can take up to three months, and it can take many attempts before a clear picture is acquired. The photos show the carbohydrates of the drinks after they have crystallized, forming sugars and glucose. No two drinks look the same, and each photo has been magnified up to 1,000 times in the Florida State University’s chemistry department.”
