A Kermode bear cub huddling with its sibling in Canada's Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia by Ian McAllister. Brothers rivalry! They’re very cute but we’re betting these two Kermode bear siblings are a handful (hang in there, mama bear!). Kermode bears are a subspecies of the American black bear, although they're obviously not always black. They have a recessive gene which sometimes results in cream or white fur. While most Kermode bears are black, scientists estimate that between 10 and 20 per cent of the population have ivory coats. Known as ‘spirit bears’, they are special to indigenous people of the British Columbia coastal regions in Canada where they live.

Overwintering Monarch Butterflies

Monarch butterflies wintering in Michoacán, Mexico. The monarch butterflies are unique and irresistibly adorable. Unlike other butterflies the monarchs are delicate and couldn't resist winter so they gather the clues from the changing weather and prepare themselves for a long migration. They know when is the time to travel to south from the harsh winter of north.  They use thermals and air currents to make their trek smooth and to survival such a long journey in spite of bring such a fragile creature. Some estimate that these monarchs can travel about 3,000 miles to escape death and starvation of winter.  Well !!! Here is an excellent example for those who couldn't fight and survive the crisis when they were strong enough to hold their own bargain. Just take a look at the monarchs and you will find your inspiration.
