It's NATIONAL WILDLIFE WEEK! https://cwf-fcf.org/en/explore/national-wildlife-week/

When you finally make it to the front of the queue at the buffet

2000-year-old tree in South Africa called The Tree of Life. Truly majestic

You’re watching tv and this happens...what’s your next move?

Watch this squirrel carve a smiling jack o’lantern!

1. Go to the woods. Bring a cone. 2. Put the cone in a pot - so that most of it stands out. 3. Pour it every day with a small amount of water, as excess wate...r makes the cones rot. 4. After some time, a tiny tree will appear. 5. Congratulations - they just started oxygen production and you have a piece of forest in your own home.. You're doing something for nature, and you'll see what nature does for you..... Perfect project for the kids too!

Today is International Raccoon Appreciation Day. This day helps celebrate all animals that are misunderstood and who are known as being pests or "nuisance anima...ls," but who are actually an important part of their ecosystem. The goal is for people to become more accepting of these animals while celebrating the day, which may help prevent habitat loss and may increase animal diversity. Raccoons are particularly celebrated today. What benefits do raccoons have to their ecosystem? They help keep it clean by eating carrion; they keep the numbers of some other animals in check by eating them, and they spread seeds around when they are foraging and eating berries and nuts. Raccoons eat all kinds of things: frogs, turtles, grubs, snails, worms, rabbitts, waterfowl, nesting birds, eggs, shellfish, compost, berries, seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. They also scavenge for garbage and pet food in more residential areas and also eat roadkill or carrion. They have an acute sense of touch, and a large number of receptors on their hands allow them to identify food without seeing it. They also regularly douse their food before eating it; when they wet their hands the nerve endings in them are stimulated, and they can better feel their food. Raccoons appear to be washing their food when they are dousing it. Known for the black "mask" around their eyes, which helps them to better see, as it absorbs light and reduces glare, raccoons average 10 to 20 pounds. They tend to live in dens located in trees or caves, though they also live in barns and abandoned buildings. They are nocturnal, and sleep more during the winter months, although they do not hibernate. Baby raccoons, kits, are born in early summer. A mother will have one to seven at a time. They begin roaming at 12 weeks, and at 8 to 12 months they are completely independent. Raccoons only live to be 2 or 3 years old in the wild (up to 20 in captivity). Today we celebrate and remember them and any other animals that are often seen as nuisances.
