Some Cats without Hats

A puma in the Andes, Argentina This lone puma walks in the Andes of Argentina, and it may be looking for a companion who can cluster.  Here is one of the biggest cats of the world! A 'Cougar' in fact and of course without a hat... (Wondering why???) Today is March 2 and here we are celebrating Dr. Seuss Birthday who wrote remarkable books and made our childhood memorable with pretty pictures and invincible rhymes. His famous book "The Cat In The Hat", is a story about a silly cat who always falls for wrong charms, still warming the hearts of the children.  Let's take a moment, stop making movement and recall old times, all fun and sun shines...  Do tell about about your favorite work of Dr. Seuss.  (© Sebastian Kennerknecht / Minden Pictures)

The Hungry Bears

"Polar Bears", Hudson Bay, Canada Today is "International Polar Bear Day".    Polar Bears International, a private protection organization, was established and spread worldwide.  A day aimed at protecting polar bears, the animals most affected by global warming… The main food of polar bears is seals.  I live by hunting seals on the frozen sea.  Therefore, when the ice on the sea is low, it becomes impossible to feed.  Polar bears living here in Hudson Bay, Canada, are facing such a crisis.

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.
