It was too fast and amazing and the fish may not even have noticed the last few minutes before it got itself caught.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/">Mother nature </a>has a way of distributing attributes to flora and fauna to make them survive in the wild. For instance, birds of preys have extremely sharp eyesights. <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_of_prey&sportsname=Birds%20of%20prey">Owls and hawks</a> have very good eyesight such that even if they miles high up in the air, they could still see their potential food the size of a rabbit or a rat. Their eyes can keep track of every movement of the prey.<br /><br />Birds of prey also have a great power of flight compared to other kinds of birds like the <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck&sportsname=Duck">dove</a>. They are usually the bigger kinds of birds with larger wingspan.<br /><br />These birds of preys are the most endangered among the different kinds of birds due to habitat loss. Because much of the forested lands are degraded or simple scraped to give way to housing, small mammals and other animals that are the source of food for these birds are slowly getting lost too.<br /><br />Everything in this world is interconnected. Whether the birds up in the sky or the fish deep in the ocean; or a mouse in Asia and a forest fire in California, there is a connection that cannot be broken. Some people don't know this even though it is not hard to find out.<br /><br />More information <a href="http://www.bfriends.org">here</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-44469547399677844182008-10-15T02:31:00.000-07:002008-10-15T02:48:17.773-07:00Study: Exotic pets may be risky for childrenWhile perusing the <a href="http://www.inquirer.net/">paper</a> this morning, I came across the lifestyle section of the paper that shows a study concluding that <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/">exotic pets</a>, which are increasingly becoming popular as household pets, may pose risk to children at home.<br /><br />Some psychologists have concluded that children who have pets develop positive characters but there are some kinds of animals that parents should be wary of. For instance, <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle&sportsname=Turtle">tortoises</a> are known to be carriers of salmonella that can easy be transferred to kids.<br /><br />Some exotic pets such as iguanas and <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey&sportsname=Monkey">monkeys</a> can cause scratches or may bite children can can cause allergies or transfer bacteria.<br /><br />The study pointed out that almost all of American households have more than one pets. The study recommends that families having kids aged less than five should not keep exotic animals as pets.<br /><br />It was also pointed out in the study that salmonella in kids that came from contacts with lizards and other reptilian pets constitute 11 percent of all cases recorded.<br />The study says that "Exotic animals imported to the United States have been associated with the introduction of infectious agents otherwise not present in the United States."<br /><br />Now, I am thinking of just sticking to having traditional <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog&sportsname=Dog">dogs</a> and cats as pets. They are very kid friendly and its not a problem looking for veterinarians specializing in caring for them.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-64244850134462934782008-10-14T02:07:00.001-07:002008-10-14T02:09:12.587-07:00A trip to the zooI applaud teachers and schools that teach kids about kindness to <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com">animals</a>. There are so much to be learned about animals and that one of the best places to learn about them is the zoo.<br /><br />The last time I went to the zoo was six months ago when I brought my 6 year old son. I can see how amazed my son was looking at the <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey&sportsname=Monkey">monkeys</a> hanging and playing from branch to branch. He loved the giraffe and their long necks. In fact my son enjoying feeing leaves to them that he fed and watched them eat for 30 minutes. The roar of the lions shocked my son a bit but later he learned it was a normal sound that those cats make.<br /><br />My point here is that the zoo could be a good learning place for people to get a close encounter with the animals. But it is also a good place to teach people how not get animals from their natural habitats and place them in enclosures.<br /><br />I know there is a price to pay for learning but there should be a balance. Zoo management should make sure that the environments of these wild animals are correctly simulated in their enclosures.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-81167088013073389742008-10-13T22:37:00.000-07:002008-10-13T22:40:21.937-07:00Swift Bird<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3L01v276mTsakPjDdPUezhGKqV8eFT-UTAZFgMn2P3beZq42xMgdh8pH0ndqoSzLioEDiG4JEbvuA0yUklaEmmd9BKKQT53MPcixDq4coihKfCDQ-lxSt64jfT5v2lgk-exJ-GaOOF3g/s1600-h/owl.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Although his collection includes birds and some mammals, there are more <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator&sportsname=Alligator">reptiles</a> compared to other kinds of animals.<br /><br />I have always advised my brother to be a responsible animal keeper. I told him that he should study and research as much as he can about the pets he is caring for. The animals needs should be met and proper housing and exercise should be given.<br /><br />As for the green iguana, my brother told me that he has done an intensive research. He learned the green iguana is a special reptile and therefore needs <a href="http://www.domestic-animals.com/world/sports.en.php?sportsvalue=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-turtle&sportsname=Water-turtle">special reptile food</a>. He told me an iguana diet should be composed of dark leafy vegetables and other greens containing rich calcium like mustard green and dandelion greens.<br /><br />I feel so happy that my brother will really grow up to be a responsible man.

It's an action plan that offers environmental<br />protection," Environment Minister John Baird told Daily Planet Media<br />in Ottawa.<br /><br />Canada will spend C$8.3 million on the agreement that creates three<br />new national wildlife areas on and around Baffin Island - the largest<br />of Canada's islands.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-23469841895076402852008-09-05T21:20:00.002-07:002008-09-05T21:21:22.856-07:00YEAR OF THE SAVAGE MOONSOONGREATER ASIA HIT BY WORST FLOODS IN LIVING MEMORY<br /><br />Extreme floods and typhoons across greater Asia over the last three<br />months have severely affected tens of millions of people from the<br />Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Far East China, Korea and Japan.<br /><br />Since June the Asian southwest monsoon has claimed 1,500 lives and<br />caused damage worth many billions of dollars.<br /><br />Much of Asia's poor are still living in low-lying areas prone to<br />flooding and in houses incapable of withstanding strong winds.<br /><br />August has been a horror month for savage weather and natural<br />disasters, according reports sent to Daily Planet Media.<br /><br />The following is a summary of what happened:<br /><br />* Typhoon Olga flooded much of Southeast Asia before striking the<br />Korean peninsula.<br />* Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and three surrounding<br />provinces were declared "a state of calamity" on August 2 after 300<br />millimeters of rain fell in two days. The death toll across the<br />Philippines is estimated at more than 90.<br />* In Vietnam the heaviest rainfalls in 20 years resulting in severe<br />flooding to the southern central provinces of Binh Thuan, Lam Dong and<br />Dac Lac.<br />* The major arterial highway that links Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City was<br />cut for three days.<br />* Floods in southern Cambodia cut off the main port town of<br />Sihanoukville from the capital Phnom Penh and the main highway was two<br />meters under water for several days.<br />* Severe flooding inundated much of Thailand's Chantaburi province<br />east of Bangkok leaving 90,000 homeless.<br />* Typhoon Olga brought savage storms to Korea and heavy floodings to<br />southern Japan.<br />* North Korea that is the grips of a four-year famine lost 40,000<br />hectares of farming land from Olga's storms.<br /><br />The month's most severe flooding, described as the "worst in living<br />memory", ruined much of the Indian subcontinent as well as valuable<br />Chinese rice lands.<br /><br />Hit hard was China's Yangtze River system, which is home to 400<br />million people. The floods have directly affected over 66 million people.<br /><br />The Yellow River districts have been issued with warnings that much<br />higher than average rainfalls are likely to cause more flooding and<br />overwhelm the inadequate flood protection along the river.<br /><br />Torrential rains since late June caused major flooding along the<br />tributaries of the Ganges River, and swathes of the Bihar state were<br />devastated when more than 400,000 hectares of land submerged and 7,000<br />homes destroyed.<br /><br />The Bangladesh Department of Environment estimates two million people<br />in the capital city of Dhaka have this year lived in flooded<br />conditions for up to 65 days. Health officials estimate that the<br />fouling of the city's water by sewerage created conditions caused over<br />115,000 people to contract severe diarrhea and caused the death of 178<br />people.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-17666674570813046502008-09-05T21:20:00.001-07:002008-09-05T21:20:35.225-07:00SOLAR PLANE SETS NEW RECORDA solar powered plane has set a new world endurance record for a<br />flight by an unmanned aircraft.<br /><br />British-built Zephyr-6 stayed in the air for more than three days<br />flying through the night on batteries it had recharged in sunlight.<br /><br />The Zephyr flew non-stop for 82 hours, 37 minutes and beats the<br />current official world record for unmanned flight set by the US robot<br />plane Global Hawk - of 30 hours, 24 minutes.<br /><br />The flight took place between 28 and 31 July flown on autopilot and<br />via satellite communication.<br /><br />The plane flies on solar power generated by amorphous silicon solar<br />arrays no thicker than sheets of paper that are glued over the<br />aircraft's wings. The propellers are powered from lithium-sulphur<br />batteries, which are topped up during the day.<br /><br />The designers of the Zephyr successfully overcame a major problem of<br />having sufficient power storage with the light-weighting systems.<br />Lithium sulphur had been found to have double the energy density of<br />lithium polymer batteries.<br /><br />Engineers from the Farnborough- based company are now collaborating<br />with the American aerospace giant Boeing to build the biggest plane to<br />take to the sky powered by the sun and capable of carrying a 450-kilo<br />payload.<br /><br />US commanders said the plane would be able to maintain its position<br />over a particular spot on the Earth's surface uninterrupted for five<br />years.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-38306916738332407802008-09-03T22:09:00.001-07:002008-09-03T22:10:41.151-07:00Pictures of Cute Animals Batch 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgInEJAAR_rZHhO8ykcMhTqkVjzev_qx8fdjAZT6YdaQI1bx67kjSjs7nBeG4WEz3MNUEZQv8_jW2OS1x0tgM6_oh9RBxZrEJjH-QY4IcxSNrzsDF5LZDqjHYzkkA2R8BmRVuaV98-szmk/s1600-h/cute-5.jpg"><img style="float:left;

But for the record the event ran from Portland, Maine, to the<br />Los Angeles Coliseum.<br /><br />One of purposes of the Hydrogen Road Tour '08 was to demonstrate the<br />need to build more fuelling stations if the new technology is to develop.<br /><br />The tour stopped in 31 cities in 18 states with the California Fuel<br />Cell Partnership as the major supporter.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442304184220620813.post-88702722918364201112008-09-01T18:32:00.000-07:002008-09-01T18:33:38.532-07:00Big Dogs Batch 2<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk3yhlp82KV3emCJuWtix_jo0yE5DXAcVLt0iOcGyyPCBQHuwJ5DVv5QeCtY3jVZi_L66DP-JjLm0_k7m_COIcsWwRqxPy1qhA7PFAmkOIo4N75dk-D0-XSl9MGmF5N1eQ8j_URKqzI3M/s1600-h/big-dog7.jpg"><img style="float:left;
