MEDICINE,
LOVE AND
MOTHER NATURE
You might have seen around thousands of
videos about how a penguin searches the
whole beach for the perfect pebble to leave at
the feet of his beloved female penguin, which
made a lot of noise, since it greatly resembles
our tradition of searching for the perfect
ring to offer, but when it comes to penguins
it's even more symbolic, more romantic,
ALBATROSS
THREE TITLES THAT MIGHT SEEM COMPLETELY APART BUT ARE
MUCH CLOSER THAN YOU THINK, THIS COMBINATION IS JUST
SOMETHING DESIGNED TO OPEN MY EYES AND YOURS TO
MOTHER NATURE'S CHARMING BEHAVIOUR STARTING WITH THE
TINY MEN IN TUXEDOS.

The albatross is not a very well-known bird, but
it's actually one of the largest seabirds that
have ever existed. It's mainly present around
the southern hemisphere, and what's really
fascinating about the Albatross is its dancing
rituals, this bird searches for its female partner
by testing out her dance skills, it dances for
years with many female birds after its full
maturation till it finds just the perfect dance
partner. Though it's a very happy romantic
dancing bird, doctors have used its name to
refer to a psychological disturbance called "The
SCIENCE
PENGUINS

valuable one, as the pebble represents the
first rock of their new nest together. You can
see it's very convenient with their little natural
tuxedos. While penguins might not be the

to romance is certainly not to be ignored.
Albatross Syndrome" which is a disorder that
happens to patients after surgical interference
to treat peptic ulcer, patients suffering from
Albatross syndrome suffer from the same
symptoms of an ulcer even if the surgery was
a complete success, and since the symptoms
are all psychological, they are even worse than
before the surgery, patients can't deal with the
fact there is no explanation for the nausea,
vomiting, pain and all the other symptoms.
So the Albatross might be bad for humans,
but beautiful when it comes to mother nature.
