The birds were certainly easy to spot from a distance, standing at over three metres tall and weighing over 880 pounds!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've believed in green cities since the 1970's when I passionately read (then) 'book of the future' that spoke of solar roofs, self-sufficiency, wind turbines, greener cities, vertical farming, electric cars etc. My expectations of how the early 21st century would turn out and the reality check are somewhat very different. We can all improve our urban locality by planting wildflowers (not picked from wild - that is illegal) that we can grow and distribute to various finite green spaces. Each individual person can have a significant positive impact upon supporting local biodiversity with some small yet beneficial steps. What can you do???????]]></description>

<title>Ghana Life: Elephants Past and Present</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:28:41 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Nowadays, elephants are primarily associated with east and south Africa where they roam in great herds but West Africa too is still home to lesser numbers of the world's largest land animal. Ghana's next door neighbour, Cote d'Ivoire, derives its name from a long association with elephants, and modest herds can sometimes be sighted on the road north from Navrongo to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. In Ghana itself, the best chance of seeing wild elephants is in the Mole National Park in the Northern Region, where for several decades they have been afforded protection. Modern Ghanaians are familiar with stories in the popular press about rampaging elephants causing havoc in border villages but such incidents are rare. People live for many years in Ghana without seeing, or hearing of, wild elephants, but the great beasts have left an indelible mark on Ghanaian culture and national identity.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You can just look at some animals and know that dinosaurs were very real (well, if fossils haven't persuaded you). Take this crocodile in Australia: at 18 feet long (ish... I don't think anyone has gotten close enough to measure him), Brutus is a monster by anyone's standards. Tourists to Australia's Northern Territory pay money for a crocodile boat tour for a chance to see one of these giants up close, and this particular group got a great experience. This photo went through a ridiculous amount of skepticism but it appeared in Time magazine's pictures of the year for 2011, and that's good enough for me. It helps that Photoshop experts also think it's real, there's video of Mr. Brutus, and you can apparently see the reflection of the monster croc in one of the boat passenger's sunglasses, not to mention anyone can go to Australia's Northern Territory, buy this same crocodile boat tour, and have a pretty decent chance of seeing their star character for themselves, but I figure Time magazine has a handle on which images are faked and which are real.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic cattle disease found worldwide. Human infection risks can be effectively eliminated by pasteurizing (heat-treating) milk, but controlling cattle TB is not so easy. Some countries have controlled or (possibly) eliminated cattle TB by routinely testing and culling infected cattle. However, this has been much less successful in Ireland and Great Britain where wild mammals, especially badgers, provide a TB reservoir. In an attempt to eradicate cattle TB, these countries have a policy of 'test and cull' plus badger reduction or elimination. We ask here whether this approach been effective, and if not, why is it still used?]]></description>

A thick layer of fat called blubber in these whales keeps its body warm. It does not have dorsal fin which enables free movement beneath slabs of ice.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Phenology is the study of the timing of natural events, particularly with regard to how they vary from one year to the next. The natural events occur at two main times of the year: spring and fall (autumn). Historically, people have studied the timing of natural events in the spring far more than those in the autumn. This, however, makes the study of the fall more interesting. The factors that affect the timing of autumn events seem more complex than those for spring and consequently there is much to learn. Also, as autumn has been studied much less, there is a greater need or more data, so your observations make an important contribution to our current knowledge of the subject.]]></description>

Caribou is another name for the undomesticated wild reindeer that migrate across the northernmost regions of North America.

Deer are unique mammals because the males shed their antlers at the beginning of winter and regrow them in the spring. Caribou are even more unusual because both males and females grow antlers but female caribou shed their antlers in the spring.]]></description>
