Do you love CATS ?

Do you love cats, those terrible creatures of the God?
About a year ago there was a site with all cat's behaviours pictures. It was a great site and the author surely loves and knows cats. I wanted to post the lin here but I could not find it unfortunatelly.

Here you can see the work of an other cat's lover. I'm sure you will enjoy these videos.

A Fisher

This photo from Telegraph.co.uk is one of the serie of beautiful photos about orangutans. Where you can see that it eats the fish at the end of the work it did. I liked it's possibility to maintain the position with 3 arts.
I hope you like the idea and go tomorrow to fish too. :)))

Squirrel Colours

On the photo that I took in the article of Daily Mail you see squirrels of different colours.

The first, red squirrel, is native for England and I think for all Europe too.
The second, grey squirrel, comes from America in the 1870s. It is more active and winner as native squirrel.
Finally the last, black, is the result of a single mutation in the DNA of greys and appears in 1912.

The black squirrel is the result of a single mutation in the DNA of greys, giving them higher levels of the pigment melanin in their fur.

Sex selection is also boosting their numbers because female greys appear to prefer them as mates.

I laught when I red it, because some time ago I wrote that according to an interesting recent research the leonesses in Africa prefer males with braun mane. If she sees a blond leo she goes away, if she sees a broun one she loses her head. So, now I know that the squirrel-females are not so simple to convince too.

By the way
I had an Airdail-female. She had many friends but did not had any preference for one of them. Only she did not love a mastiff. Once we went on the beach and there was a red German sheffild with long fur and he had great broun mane there. He was really beautiful (and knew it, I think). My Bessy fall the same minute in love. What she did to attract his attention! It was a shame to see it! ;))) Fortunatelly the next her love was an Airdail.

'Parrot Of The Night'

Do you like KAKAPO? (Great name, eh?)
You can't not love them. They are so incredible!

I've seen a film about kakapo for the first time some years ago. Yesterday my husband found an other film about them and fortunately called me to come (I had to cook something to eat) but I saw only the last minutes of the story. So I wanted to read last news about this bird today and found a site with a blog of the rangers from the place where the kakapo live.

This is the address of the site: Kakapo Recovery Programme
and the photo is form this site, clear.

There are only 86 kakapo. But the very nice news are that they have 7 babies! 4 girls and 3 boys!

Forgot to say it: they were practically extinct because of the rats that humans took in New Zealand. These parrots can't fly, they walk. And they walk in a very funny way. And they need very great territory.

I found a video!

Impressed By Horses

In the Fair in Bastia Umbra (read reports here A Mann And A Bull, here Italian Cattle Breeds and here "The Factory" In The Fair ) I had very important for me "horses-impression".

There were not much horses and asses there, I don't remember even if those were special breeds or not. I did these photos of colts -beautiful as all babies...


What was special and impressive in this?
How is your behaviour when you are in a fair? You go here and there and make photos without thinking about the souls you see there and interact with. So did I too.

When I came to the place where there was this horse, it (I don't remember even if it was he or she to write the right word here) was in the other part of the pen, but when it saw me, it came to me and it was like it wanted to "speak" with me, to say me something. But I wanted only to make photos. It understood it, resent and went away from me.

Than the same story happened me with this ass. It came to me with great enthusiasm, wanted to say me something, than even asked about caresses. It was so... I did not know what to do, I don't understand what it wants. But I wanted only photos... and the ass was offended too.

You know, I felt very bad then. Really bad. I don't know, they choose me to say me something, but I did not want to listen to them and thought only about photos... I was a stupid tourist there. It was a great shame, that I did not understood what they want.

You know, it's a shame to feel a tourist and don't see and feel other beings.
