"Serebrina Serebrina is an Ediacaran encrusting macroscopic algae first discovered by Ischenko in 1983. Very little is known of this genus. It has been found in several formations in Ukraine and Russia. ""Serebrina"" exhibits an encrusting growth form and is interpreted as a thallus, a plant body lacking leaves and stems. A single species, ""S. crustacea,"" is known. The species name presumably derives from the encrusting life habit. First described by Ischenko in 1983, ""Serebrina"" has later been found by several other paleontologists in abundance in the Verkhovka Formation in Ukraine. Macroscopic algae tend to be rarer in the Ediacaran"

Because the Stellate sturgeon was once the most common and fastest to reproduce, this made Sevruga caviar the most commonly found of the sturgeon caviars, and the most inexpensive of the three main types of sturgeon caviar - Beluga, Osetra and Sevruga. It’s calculated that about half the caviar production comes from Sevruga. Sevruga caviar eggs are a pearlescent grey, and smaller in size than other sturgeon.

Like their smaller relatives the gorals, serows are often found grazing on rocky hills, though typically at a lower elevation when the two types of animal share territory. Serows are slower and less agile than gorals, but they nevertheless can climb slopes to escape predation and to take shelter during cold winters or hot summers. Serows,"
