5 stars of 5, 1843 votes

As one of the top dive sites in the world, Sipadan Island has been blessed with a myriad of reefs amidst crystal clear blue water. With visibility of between 60 and 200 feet, the sea surrounding this mushroom shaped island is a perfect habitat for over 3000 species of fish. Beautiful hard and soft coral thrive abundantly, almost untouched by the spoils of civilization. This is the perfect feeding ground for reef fishes of various shapes, sizes, breeds and color. In fact, turtles are common sight here, as they rest and feed in peace within the ledges of the Drop-Off. As colorful parrot fish, butterfly fish, angel fish, and hundreds of other colored fishes play amongst the corals, divers will also...

Soils suitable for tillage are located in the lowlands and valley areas where they may have originated from river deposits. They contrast with the shallow soils on the steeper slopes and uplands. Permafrost is common north of the Alaska Range, thawing out only at the surface in summer creating waterlogged conditions. Roads and buildings are subject to damage in these areas. Extensive coniferous forests adorn the slopes of the south-eastern mountains. In the interior the forest cover thins out giving way to grasslands and marsh. North of the Brooks Range are the treeless plains of the tundra, supporting mosses, lichens and grasses capable of surviving the severe climatic conditions which are...

Taught from father to son from generation to generation is the art of fishing. The great American past time is still alive and well today. Standing out in the cool breeze fly fishing hoping to catch dinner is a wonderful feeling especially if you're catching trout. Having some good trout information can increase your chances of having a successful fishing trip. Depending on what type of trout your fishing for there are certain things that a trout fisherman needs to know. Trout have the ability of changing their colors depending on the habitat that they are in. For example, a one that enters a river or a creek from the ocean is typically a silver color and the same species of trout that is already...

One of the great advantages, and the great disadvantages of living in a yurt in the backwoods is that you are put into intimate contact with nature. That's nature, as in skunks strolling by; the occasional black bear helping himself to your Canada plums, and then leaving a deposit to remind you that he visited; coyotes forgetting that you have to work the next day and singing you to sleep at 4 a.m.; squirrels that like your tarpaulin shelter so much they decide to store their winter dinners in the flaps of the tarpaulins. But, as challenging or exciting as these visits may sound, the experience of living, day after day, in this pristine setting highlights the beauty of a minimal footprint in the...

The other day, a friend and I were driving down a somewhat quiet highway in Southern Australia, when we saw three huge wedge-tailed eagles feeding on a kangaroo on the side of the road. Being an eagle lover, I was extremely excited, and it was the first time I'd seen eagles while being here. Because we saw them at the last second, we passed them at a fair speed and they naturally flew up and into the air above. As we were on a round trip, we figured that we'd be back in around 20 minutes, and they'd still be there, but this time we could sneak up on them and get to enjoy the sight of one of the world's biggest birds of prey. When we returned, we were extremely shocked to see them being harassed by a...

Wildlife and the Bengal Tiger

Posted by admin
5 stars of 5, 36 votes

One of the most majestic cats on the planet is the Bengal Tiger, and those populations that live nearby these cats, take them very seriously, as one swipe of its strong paw, can nearly cut a man open. Of course, if a Bengal Tiger is after you, it will not stop with one swipe, basically, you become lunch, or a quick snack as they often joke. But, all humor aside, the locals will smile and tell tall tales, but very few humans that have ever been attacked by Bengal Tigers have survived to tell about it. The Siberian Tiger is only slightly taller at the shoulder than the agile and ferocious Bengal Tiger. To see either of these wild animals up close sends shivers down your spine. They are magnificent...

I have to admit, I had a bit of a shock. I went to Virginia Aquarium (formerly called Virginia Marine Science Center) expecting to get in for free, using my ASTC Passport Program card (which gives you free admission to participating science museums around the nation). Oops. Despite the "science" in the name, Virginia Aquarium is really considered an aquarium (gee, maybe that's why they changed the name?). So they don't honor science museum membership cards. But for what it offers, Virginia Aquarium is not expensive, and it's well worth the price. The highlights: - 700,000 gallon tank(s) - 300 hands-on exhibits and buttons to push - "Alligators Alive" exhibit (through May) featuring a live albino...

Here in Pembrokeshire we are proud and privileged to have a stunning coastline. The surrounding waters host a dazzling array of sea life both large and small. The huge fin whale is occasionally seen. It weighs up to 70 tons and is the second biggest animal to ever have lived on our earth, after the blue whale. Both these giants feed on tiny shrimps and plankton. At seven tons, slightly larger than an African elephant but not much bigger than the fin whales tongue, the minke whale visits us mainly in the summer months. Weighing in at only 70 kilos the diminutive harbour porpoise is almost the smallest cousin of the great whales and Pembrokeshire is one of the best places in Britain to see them. Fin...

Since you mainly see dolphins in the zoo or aquarium, it is not very likely that you will have one as a pet. There have been many famous dolphin names throughout history and in the movies. Flipper is the one that comes to mind from the television series. Other dolphins usually have place names attached to them because they always appear in the same places year after year. Some of these are:   - Dingle Dolphin - this is the dolphin that appears in the harbor of Dingle, Ireland. Some of the names people have given this dolphin are Fungie, Dorad, Tarquin, and Fungi.   - Dusty - this is the dolphin that has been a regular visitor to Doolin and Dereen, also in Ireland.

I have a fascination with whales. Not that I have ever seen one up close at a Marineland or even from a distance on a whale-watching excursion. Nope, my interest began in Sunday School at Bethel Chapel in Belleville, Ontario where we learned about Jonah and the Whale. Actually, as my Sunday School teacher (who was often my mother) corrected me, the whale was not really a whale - it was a big fish. A very big fish that God sent to babysit Jonah, when he went astray, by swallowing him when he was drowning in the ocean, and then by throwing him up on dry land. It was the throwing up part I liked. Hey, even we Plymouth Brethren girls had our cruder moments! I am fascinated by whales because, being...

Choosing a dolphin lover gift may not be as easy as it is for a pet lover, but that is not to say it is not possible. In fact, you will find quite a range of dolphin related gifts around the internet, although in your local store it may be hit and miss as to whether you will find anything. In my case, I received the true, ultimate dolphin lover gift, some years ago, but more of that later. The demand for dolphin gifts, though, is undoubtedly high. On a brief and unscientific survey, dolphin lover gifts are about half as popular as cat lover gifts. If you think about it, that is amazing. Most people will never see a dolphin in their lives, yet we are surrounded by cats. What is it, then, that makes...

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has" - Margaret Mead There are many different and worthwhile organisations that assist animals in need around the world. All of the organisations mentioned in our guide work tirelessly to help animals in need. To achieve their aims, they rely on voluntary help.

Kayaking has been around for a very long time but has really taken off recreationally in the past twenty years or so.

Sometimes I think that even if nobody new ever went on a first-ever cruise to Alaska, the cruise industry would stay busy with Alaskan cruises just taking people who've already been there back again...and again. The largest state in a very large country, Alaska is probably not the place you think it is. First, it is a vast land where civilization exists in outposts against a wilderness background. There are many parts of Alaska where animals outnumber people. The wilderness theme crops up where you would least expect it. Try to get in and out of the state's capital city, Juneau, and you find that you need to do it by boat or plane. The place is not accessible by car. Flying is altogether a normal...

For many adults, the idea of going to a zoo is not as appealing as it is for children. Many people feel that zoos are too crowded, that the food is bad, and that many of the animals seem depressingly unhappy.
