Maasai Mara

Hello, everyone! I’m Maasai Mara, the owner of this website, a guide to the fascinating world of animals and general information. Welcome to my website, where I provide information on the natural worlds of the world and discover facts on different topics. But first, you might be wondering, who is Maasai Mara? Well, I’m not a person, but rather the namesake of one of the most iconic wildlife reserves on our planet. Maasai Mara is a beautiful and diverse ecosystem located in East Africa, Kenya, extending into Tanzania. It’s renowned for incredible wildlife. The Maasai Mara Reserve is named after the Maasai people, who are indigenous to the region, and the Mara River, which flows through it. This reserve is just a part of the larger Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, Known for the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, which is one of the most remarkable wildlife spectacles on Earth. For the last 12 years, I live and work within Maasai Mara National Reserve. Within this time, I have had a front-row seat to some of nature’s most spectacular moments. From witnessing the Great Migration to watching a cheetah sprint across the plains, to different varieties of animals. All along my experience has been like being a kid in a candy store, but the candies are lions, zebras, cheetah, jaguars, impala, elephants etc. Living in such close proximity to incredible creatures, I developed a deep bond with them. I learned their behaviors, their quirks, and their stories. I also witnessed the challenges they face in their natural habitats. This has ignited my passion and enthusiasm about animals of different types. My passion has driven me to start this website and share information, all things related to animals and general knowledge. My passion is to bring you engaging and informative content about the animal kingdom, conservation efforts and much more. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a curious traveler, or just someone looking to expand your knowledge, you’ve come to the right place. On this website, you can expect to find interactive content that will take you on a journey of discovery. We’ll explore the wonders of the animal kingdom, and delve into a wide range of fascinating topics. So, whether you’re here to learn about the incredible Maasai Mara Reserve, discover the secrets of the animal world, or simply quench your thirst for knowledge, I invite you to join me on this exciting adventure. Together, we’ll uncover the beauty and complexity of our world, one topic at a time. Thank you for visiting, and let’s embark on this educational and awe-inspiring journey together!

Molisch’s Test: Objective, Principle, Reagents, Procedure & Results Interpretation

by

Objective Molisch’s test is a sensitive chemical test, named after Australian Botanist Hans Molisch whose main objective is to test the presence of carbohydrates in a given analyte. Principle Molisch’s test entails the addition of Molisch’s reagent (a solution of α-naphthol in ethanol) to the analyte and the subsequent addition of a few drops of … Read more

Barfoed’s Test: Objective, Principle, Reagents, Procedure & Result Interpretation

by

Objective Barfoed’s test is a biochemical test devised by the Swedish physician C.T Barfoed (1815-1899). The main objective of the test is to distinguish between monosaccharides and reducing disaccharides. Principle Barfoed’s test reaction is based on the reduction of cupric acetate by reducing monosaccharides and reducing disaccharides. Reduction of cupric acetate produces cuprous oxide which … Read more

Seliwanoff’s Test: Objective, Principle, Reagent, Procedure & Result Interpretation

by

Objective Seliwanoff’s test is a biochemical test devised by the Russian chemist Theodore Seliwanoff in 1887. The main objective of the test is to distinguish Aldoses from ketose sugars. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose while if it contains an aldehyde group, it is an Aldose. Principle The test relies … Read more

Benedict’s Test: Principle, Objective, Reagent, Preparation & Result Interpretation

by

Benedict’s test is a simple chemistry test used to detect presence of reducing sugars in a biological sample. It is named after American chemist Stanley Rossister Benedict. Reducing sugars are carbohydrates that can act as reducing agents due to the presence of free aldehyde groups or free ketone groups in their chemical structure. Examples of … Read more
