POPS Wildlife of Madagascar - pics

by righthand 4-11-2008

2 Avahi occidentalis A western woolly lemur. Scientists have used specially developed software to create detailed maps of how species are distributed on the island down to a per kilometre level 3 Avahi laniger An eastern woolly lemur. Data was collected on the exact locations of more than 2,300 Malagasy species from six major groups: lemurs, butterflies, frogs, geckos, ants and plants 4 Daubentonia madagascariensis An aye-aye. The world's largest nocturnal primate is found only in Madagascar and well known for its unique method of finding food: it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out 5 The Indri indri, one of the largest lemurs. The scientists say the Madagascar model could be used for other biodiversity hot spots around the world by helping scientists to predict where species might go for refuge when habitats are endangered by climate change

by michellezm 12-3-2007

I have always wanted to collect specimens of butterflies but simply don't have the heart to kill these perfect little jewels. (A couple of pictures are of moths and not butterflies)

It's not often I see one of these, but there was one in my garden recently. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't do their colour justice.

POPS Horse fighting in China

by michellezm 11-30-2007

This is the first I've heard of this "sport". I think bull fighting, dog fighting and cock fighting in the western world are just as cruel.
