Atanur Sevim, a retired academic from Samsun, traveled 850 kilometers to Adıyaman’s Gerger district to photograph the rare inverted tulips, also known as “crying brides.” These protected flowers bloom briefly in spring and are found only in high-altitude areas. Sevim captured the unique sight on camera and urged visitors to respect nature by not picking the endangered plants.
A tense encounter between a stray cat and a snake in Antalya, Türkiye was captured on mobile phone by a bystander. The incident took place at the entrance of a five-story apartment building. The cat noticed the snake near the entrance and began swatting at it with its paw.
The snake attempted to defend itself and climbed the apartment’s door railings before fleeing to the garden’s green area. The cat continued to follow it until both disappeared from view.
