Feral Cats Are An Invasive Species in North America (and elsewhere)

I new him because we enlisted his Dryfus Lion and one of his tigers to carry out experiments with bones (this is something archaeologists do). The most interesting thing about this cat was lack of kitty-cat-ness.

Afforestation

10,000 Birds

But one tree isn’t going to reverse the damage occuring in Latin America. The neighbors had advised me, from experience, that planting trees without excluding the local free-ranging livestock would be an exercise in futility: first challenge overcome.) That would, of course, be better than nothing.
