Members of the public admire trees displaying their autumn colours at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley on October 26, 2011 in Wisley, England. Many deciduous trees have now changed colour as they begin to shed their leaves for Autumn. An extended period of leaf colour change has come about this year due to a warm, dry Spring prompting an early growth spurt and a premature colour change. (Photo by Oli Scarff/Getty Images)

Leafy sea dragon

The leafy seadragon or Glauert's seadragon, Phycodurus eques, is a marine fish in the family Syngnathidae, which also includes the seahorses. It is the only member of the genus Phycodurus. It is found along the southern and western coasts of Australia. The name is derived from the appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body. These protrusions are not used for propulsion; they serve only as camouflage. The leafy seadragon propels itself by means of a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed.

Faruk, 17, a Rohingya refugee trader holds betel leaves which are on sale at a stall in Palong Khali refugee camp near Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, November 3, 2017.

Bangladeshi's and I sell for the same rate in the camp. Outside in the local market it is 80 taka per bundle.
