First published in November of 1843 the tale of a baby swan, or cygnet, being raised among ducks strikes a chord with many people, but in Denmark the works of Hans Christian Andersen bring feelings of national pride. The Numbat is the animal emblem. It is no wonder that the ugly duckling grew up to be the national bird of Denmark.

The results will inform a vision document to be adopted in July 2011 at a national conference to guide the NWR system for wildlife protection into the next decade and beyond. I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. Wicked, right?

Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield.

You’re a mammal, so you might be tempted to use yourself as an example mammal, but humans are actually kind of bad examples of mammals, so perhaps we’ll use a well studied hoofed animal instead. Thus, the two types of animals have very different courtship patterns. All the nurturing has to come from mom.

Although this park was logged in the past, as a national park it is one of the few forests in Ghana that is really protected. . All these forests are in “protected” forest reserves, however at some, logging permits are reportedly being issued for harvesting of these forests. What makes Ghana so special?

As with Chinese male humans, having your own building is still vital to raising young. One of the established ways to evaluate self-cognition in animals (including humans) is the mirror test.
