photographs of very rare creatures "Gharial (Gavial)" [my 100% original work]

Today I share two photographs of very rare creature Gharial or, Gavial. They are one kind of reptile. And they are also known as "fish-eating crocodile". They are normally found in the northern India.
The global wild gharial population is estimated at fewer than 235 individuals, which are threatened by loss of riverine habitat, depletion of fish resources, and entanglement in fishing nets. As the population has declined drastically in the past 70 years, the gharial is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List (source wikipedia).
Read more about Gharial in Wikipedia.

 The gharial is one of the longest of all living crocodilians, measuring up to 6.25 m (20.5 ft), though it should be noted that this is an extreme upper limit, as the average adult gharial is only 3.5 to 4.5 m (11 to 15 ft) in size.With 110 sharp, interdigitated teeth in its long, thin snout, it is well adapted to catching fish, its main diet. The male gharial has a distinctive boss at the end of the snout, which resembles an earthenware pot known in Hindi as ghara. The gharial's common name is derived from this similarity (source wikipedia).

Equipment I used to take these photos :
SONY DSC-W8001/250s ƒ/5.8 ISO160 19.3mm 
Enjoy it:)

What are bitcoin miners really solving? (collected from web)

What are bitcoin miners really solving? Here is an  extremely  simplified sketch of the problem, but it should give a pretty good idea of what the problem is.  The data:  This is the hash of the lastest block (shortened to 30 characters):   00000000000001adf44c7d69767585 These are the hashes of a few valid transactions waiting for inclusion (shortened).  5572eca4dd4 db7d0c0b845 And this the hash of one special transaction that you just crafted, which gives 25BTC (the current reward) to yourself:  916d849af76 Building the next block:  Now, let's use a gross approximation of what a new block might look  like (the real one uses binary format). It contains the hash of the  previous block and the hashes of those 3 transactions:  00000000000001adf44c7d69767585--5572eca4dd4-db7d0c0b845-916d849af76-- Now let's do mining by hand! Our goal is to complete this block with a  nonce (a piece of garbage) such that the ...
