Beasts of the Wild
Lions and tigers and bears - oh my! Exploring majestic beasts in their natural habitats.
The Toucans of Costa Rica
Perhaps the most well-known tropical bird, the toucan, is a symbol of playfulness and intelligence known by children the world over. They are highlighted on many a cereal box and candy wrapper! From a marketing standpoint, the vibrant colors on the box immediately direct the child's eye and when the child starts pointing and yelling at the top of their lungs, usually a sale is made! It's as simple as that!

The Birds of the Seas
The Dolphin is one of the most beautiful and lively marine creatures on this Earth. It sings underneath the Oceans of this world and jump out of the waters to ‘see’ the world we live in. They are graceful, sleek swimmers and can reach speeds of more than 18 miles an hour. They are playful and often frolic in a boat’s wake, leaping out of the water --- mainly for fun but also to communicate and shed pesky parasites.

Dead whale mother
in Western Scheldt near Terneuzen, 'doomed young'. One of the whales that were seen swimming in the Western Scheldt on Sunday was washed up dead near Terneuzen on Monday. According to SOS Dolfijn, this is an adult bottlenose whale of six meters. Her cub is still swimming around, but is also doomed.“If the calf still drinks milk from the mother, there is no chance of survival,” explains Annemarie van den Berg of SOS Dolfijn to Hart van Nederland. "The only thing we can do is keep an eye on the calf and possibly put it out of its misery." That is why there is a call to watch out for the whale cub.Rare in the Netherlands

Are You a Mosquito Magnet?
Mosquitos are smarter than most people realize. They have four well-developed senses (sight, smell, taste, and hearing), a capacity for making decisions, and have developed flavour preferences — yes they like some of us more than others, based on how we taste.

THE ATTACK OF THE BEAVER AT THE LAKE
It was the beginning of summer and we decided to go to Nancy Lake and fish for Rainbow Trout and Pike. I called my daughter on the phone I asked her if she wanted to come. She said yes, I told her we would leave the next day. As I was getting ready I noticed that we did not have enough bait. So I called my husband to pick some up. He told me he would get some worms and not to worry. I do worry a little bit because if we forget something there is no way we can get the item. Well, I would get everything we needed. All my husband has to do is put the gear into the car. In the meantime, my daughter is getting her things together. My husband came home and we had dinner then he put some things in the car. I asked him if he had gotten the bate. He said he did and I said besides the worms did you get the eggs. He told me he did I said to him great! The next morning we ate breakfast and then finished putting everything in the car. I called my daughter and told her we will be picking her up. When we arrived at her home she came to the car and put her things in the car. My husband drove to the highway and he had to drive about an hour to Nancy Lake campground.
