A turban is a type of headwear that is made of cloth and wound around the head. The style and reason for wearing the turban varies upon the region.
Batik:
Batik is wax-resistant dyeing that is applied to cloth. The design is made by either drawing the lines and dots with a tool or by using a copper stamp. The wax resists the dye so you can color selectively.
Java is an Indonesian island and is the most populous island on the earth. Java is a tropical rainforest and is the fifth largest island in Indonesia.
Mangrove:
A mangrove is a small tree that grows in the tropics and subtropics. They are able to thrive in salty climates with low oxygen.
Thalassinidea:
These crustaceans are often called mud lobsters or ghost shrimps and they go back to the Jurassic Age. The greatest diversity of Thalassinidea can be found in the tropics.
So I’m not quite sure what the Wikipedia Trails posts entail, but from what you’ve posted about, it is definitely interesting. I’m sure it was fun researching the different types of things that you searched for. The only thing out of all of what you mentioned that I know of is the Turban and possibly Java. I’m trying to retrace back if I’ve heard of Java before, as an island other than a drink, because that I do know from Starbucks lol. Either way, it was neat learning briefly about each of those terms!
