Why do whales, dolphins and sharks breach, or jump out of water
Why do whales, dolphins and sharks breach, or jump out
of water? The reason is still unknown today. Some theories suggest
playful behaviour, others prefer dominance, some suggest hunting while
many suggest breathing. A whale needs to travel 8 meters per second in
order to clear 90% of its whole body out of water. Why do you think
these mammals breach.

Goldfinch
The American Goldfinch is a granivore and
adapted for the consumption of seed heads, with a conical beak to remove
the seeds and agile feet to grip the stems of seed heads while feeding. However; It is a social bird, and will gather in big flocks while feeding and
migrating. This birds may behave territorially during nest construction, but
this aggression is short-lived. Its breeding season is tied to the peak
of food supply, starting in late July, which is relatively late in the
year for a finch. This species is generally monogamous, and produces one
brood each year.

Believe it or Not
Overcoming her natural tendencies, a cat named Niu Niu
from Suibin County, China was found by her owner, cat licking and
embracing a group of chicks! The chicks were more than happy with their
adoptive mother and proceeded to follow her around
everywhere. This doesn't surprise at all because a calico cat that let pair of
love birds eat and drink from her food and water and they slept perched
on her side when she would lay down. There were times she would nudge
them away from things as well lol. This is really an awesome, as everyone can learned something through this cat. We can able to overcome their natural tendencies that are im not so sure if they are bringing something useful to our life.
One for me and one for my friends. 😎 Funny.
Check out this funny monkey, who's is so hungry to snatch the foods. :) indeed clever monkey
Aerial Image of Dubai
Another aerial image from Dubai and had such a great time to exploring this city, definitely have to head back to the United Arab Emirates to do some more exploring and photography. Dubai is forever changing, forever bling, forever some fabulous memories. I’ve enjoyed the cultures and lifestyle of Dubai in so many ways and probably one of the best places to do aerial photography. Dubai is so fascinating and cosmopolitan. Just love the places and a modern city in Arabian Gulf as everyone can go there vacation.
