The jaguar is a near threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still regularly killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in South America. Although reduced, its range remains large; given its historical distribution, the jaguar has featured prominently in the mythology of numerous indigenous American cultures, including that of the Maya and Aztec. / (from Wikipedia) /

I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to The Wildlife Trusts Otters have long, slim bodies and relatively short limbs, with webbed paws. Most have sharp claws on their feet, and all have long muscular tails. They have a very soft underfur which is protected by their outer layer of long guard hair. This traps a layer of air, and keeps them dry and warm under water. Most otters have fish as the primary item in their diet, supplemented by frogs, crayfish and crabs. Some are expert at opening shellfish, and others will take any available small mammals or birds. Otters are playful animals, for example sliding repeatedly down snowy slopes, apparently from sheer enjoyment. “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in Funny Kritters “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in Art 4 Charity “Pebble Juggling !” was featured in All Soft and Cuddlies !!

This fall we drove up and through New England enjoying the fall foilage. One of our stops was Cape Cod where we went whale watching. It was a cold hour long trip till we spotted our first whale and wow what a sight it was.

Originally I thought this was an albino peacock…But have done some research and come up with this – “The White Peacock is frequently mistaken for an albino, but it is a colour variety of Indian Blue Peacock.” It was a very magestic bird and beautiful to see him fan his tail feathers.

2009-03-22Date uploaded / 1805Views Now I’ve lived in Florida for oh 5 nearly 6 years now and have never come across such a gorgeous moth. This moth is 4.5 in width, quite large species. Here is my original photo taken this morning of this stunning moth. He/she is still sitting on the fence and quiet content. I had 4 dogs over playing and running back in forth, and children running around yelling. All the while it wasnt frighten off! We were able to touch it gently, open its wings, pet its head and belly and it seemed happy enough to indulge our curiosity. But something tells me this creature came for a reason, so of course i did my research and learned about the spirit animal Butterfly/Moth! It appears to be precisely on point too. So I returned and thanked the creature and offered my habititat on any occassion and welcomed its presence. Personally I hope it visits daily as it really brighten my day and reminded me life is fleeting and beauty even so small is worth stopping and taking notice. For more educational information go here to learn more about these LUNA MOTHS. Note I read this too: / About luna moth life cycle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atOSro3_W7c also read an article that said this: Relationship to Humans: People rarely see Luna Moths, mostly because they fly late at night. It is a treat to see one, because they are very beautiful insects. Humans have caused Luna Moths to become endangered by pollution and loss of habitat. Luna Moth caterpillars do not do much damage to trees. Guess we were really blessed to see one, sad thing …they only live 1 week! Image copyright © 2009 Lisa C. Weber.

A white tail doe has been bringing her twins to the back yard lately. Yesterday (July 2/09) was the first time they stayed for any length of time. They were actually kind enough to let me wander back to the house, get the camera, change lenses and get back outside for a half dozen or so snaps.
