It may be cut for hay or grazed by livestock such as cattle, goat and sheep. There are different types of meadows such as coastal meadow, flood meadow, mottey meadow and wet meadow.
Some meadows from around the world can offer scenic views and can be popular attractions too. Here are some examples of the most captivating meadows in the world.

Another type of meadow is mottey meadow. The above photo is the Mottey Meadows National Reserve. It consists of a series of alluvial flood
meadows near the village of Wheaton Aston in Staffordshire. The meadows have been managed for hay making for many centuries. They support over 240 species of flowering plants, including the rare Snake’s-head Fritillary.

A wet meadow is a semi-wetland
meadow which is saturated with water throughout much of the year. A wet meadow does not have standing water present except for brief to moderate periods during the growing season unlike swamp or marsh. Instead, the ground in a wet meadow is typically damp and squishy, like a well-soaked sponge

Tiger Beetles
are among the most amazing animals in the world. They can sprint at 13 km/h. If human beings are like Tiger Beetles, we can run as fast as 494 km/h. They are the fastest animal in the world in equivalent to body size. Tiger Beetles run extremely fast they go blind. Their speed is about 22times the speed of the fastest human sprinter.

First in the World Picture Detail Childbirth Process
For the sake of scientific progress, a mother from Berlin, Germany, the process of childbirth in the MRI scanner (magnetic resonance imaging). The results for the first time in the world resulting MRI image of a baby birth process.
The team of doctors consisting of gynecologists, radiologists and engineers collaborated over two years to create an open MRI machine that can accommodate pregnant women in childbirth. As is known a conventional MRI machine is shaped like a long, narrow hallway.
With this special MRI machine experts hope will produce a more detailed description of how a baby through the birth canal to help understanding whether or not a woman to undergo delivery by cesarean section.
"For the first time we can see a picture with a clear mechanism in normal vaginal deliveries. Already the obstetrician decades trying to understand the complications that cause the baby not be born normally, such as the pelvis is narrow or there are no openings," said Alvarez Dr.Manny , expert content from obgin and reproductive sciences department at Hackensack University Medical Center, USA.
He said, various tools such as ultrasound or x-rays to measure bone in the pelvis that is used is very minimal.
"Now the doctor can get an explanation of why a woman could give birth to babies with substantial weight while others do not. The doctor also can determine the cause of abnormalities of shoulder dystocia that occurred due to the babys shoulder hit the hip bone," he said.
A spokesman for the Charite hospital, the meeting place of birth in the MRI, said the delivery process went smoothly and now the mother and baby in good health.
MRI machines work by using magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. Doctors usually use this tool to help diagnose disorders such as nerve, spinal cord injury, or tumor.
