Cat Chases Bear Up Tree

Excerpt from: news.nationalgeographic.com/news

jacks cat chased a young Black Bear up tree

June 13, 2006—Perhaps not since the Cowardly Lion has an animal’s appearance been so at odds with its attitude.

On June 4 a black bear wandered into a West Milford, New Jersey, back yard, was confronted by a 15-pound (7-kilogram) tabby cat … and fled up a neighbor’s tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the clawless cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes, then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape.

Finally, Jack’s owner, Donna Dickey, called the cat inside, and the timorous trespasser disappeared back into the woods.

“He doesn’t want anybody in his yard,” Dickey said of Jack in an interview with the Newark Star Ledger.

Wolf restting

In the contiguous United States, with the exception of Minnesota and Wisconsin (where they have a threatened status), they are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. They continue to be hunted in many areas of the world as perceived threats to livestock and humans, as well as for sport

Wolf weight and size can vary greatly worldwide, though both tend to increase proportionally with higher latitudes. Many people have an exaggerated idea of the wolf’s size, although it is not a small animal. Generally speaking, height varies from 0.6–0.8 meters (26–32 inches) at the shoulder, and weight can range anywhere from 23–59 kilograms (50–130 pounds), making wolves the largest among all wild canids.

Artists made giant pink bunny on mountain

Excerpt from: www.ananova.com

An enormous pink bunny has been placed on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy’s Piedmont region.

Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was “knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool”.

this is a large Bunnie that was made of wool

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: “It’s supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can’t help but smile.”

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

Since most of us can’t make it to the jungles of Africa, we are bringing the jungles to Denver. Keep your eyes open because on October 22, there will be hundreds of mountain gorillas running through the streets of downtown Denver. The Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund is hosting the 2nd Annual Denver Gorilla Run at Six Flags Elitch Gardens and all participants, volunteers and supporters are helping to keep Dian Fossey’s dream alive!

Each participant receives a full gorilla suit — just in time for Halloween. The race starts and finishes with an awards ceremony at Six Flags Elitch Gardens, and all “gorillas” receive a ticket to enjoy the park’s annual Fright Fest. Each participant in the 5.6K fun run/walk will be representing an actual group of gorillas that live in Uganda or Rwanda, Africa
