Getting lost

It is funny we have so much trouble with this when animals can almost always find their way but of course I personally never get lost =D .

Confused turtles

I wouldn't mind seeing sea turtles in their natural habitat but I am not sure what my reaction would have been if I had experienced this.

Jelly fish population explodes

I have always been interested in the jelly fish I see locally but while I was aware there were many different types,I had no idea some could be so dangerous.The Portuguese Man O' War is very interesting looking but I would not want to see one at close range unless I was well protected.

Birds find their way home

This reminds me of something that happened when I was a child,we had a cat named Sam that got away from my mother at the animal clinic which was about 10 kilometres or more from where we lived.We though we might never see the cat again even though my mother went down every day and put out food and the people ate the clinic watched for him and said that he might come out at someones house near by if they happen to be out barbecuing but about 4 days later my father went down one morning and the cat was on our door step.It's amazing how animals seem to know the direction to get home even when they are dumped far away.

Ants on trees in Africa

This just shows when humans try to meddle in nature the result isn't alway predictable.The decline in some of these large animals has consequences that are far reaching and affect far more than the animals themselves and can change the ecosystem in ways we could never imagine.

Butterfly gets ants to raise it's young

I love to watch the butterflies in the summer and try to identify the different ones so I wonder if any of the ones we see do this .
