 A rare Ayam Cemani Chicken of Indonesia, everything about it is black: plumage, beak, tongue, legs, toe nails, even its meat, bones, and organs! The only thing that is black is its blood - though it comes in a very dark shade.

  11. Seeing this just adds another “dimension” of life to be taken-into-account…
