Bird of prey
Birds of prey, also known as raptors
Sight is the strongest of all eagle senses. The eyes are large, can take up almost 50% of the head, and can weigh the same amount as a human eye. An eagles vision is 4–5 times better than that of a human. Eagle eyes are angled 30 degrees away from centre of the face, which gives eagles a greater field of view. Eagles can see five basic colours to our three, and can detect UV light.
Cones are light detecting cells that are sensitive to colour. One of the reasons that eagles have better vision than humans is because their retinas, a layer at the back of the eyeball, have more cones. We have 200,000 cones per square millimetre, whereas eagles have one million.

black panther-leopard couple is going viral
“Saaya and Cleopatra have been courting since 4 years now and whenever they are together it’s a sight to behold.”
“The forest comes alive as they trot nonchalantly in his fabled kingdom. Usually, in the courting pairs, generally it is the male who takes charge and moves around with the female following close behind. But with this couple it was definitely Cleo who was in charge while the panther followed.”
the 31-year-old professional further said: “I had to wait for six days for this in the same spot since I could hear the Panther and Cleopatra mating about a 100 metres away in the thick undergrowth but could not see them due to limited visibility.”
“They had made a large kill and would not move until it was over. That is where the knowledge and years of experience of following and tracking the Panther came in handy. I just had to wait at one of his favorite paths since that was the place he would get her since that was the edge of his territory, and this he did after 6 days,” the man with 12 years of experience under his belt added.
“It was a fruitful wait though. I could wait for 6 years for a moment like this,” Mithun said.
The wildlife photographer, who tracks big cats and is known for working on ‘The Real Black Panther’ for Nat Geo Wild, said he didn’t expect the image to go viral and certainly didn’t anticipate the controversy that followed.
He is happy, however, that the picture is getting so much attention.

lovely puppy like a child
Are Pomeranians easy to train?
Owners need to understand house training a Pomeranian requires much patience and perseverance in the first weeks.
If you have purchased your Pom puppy from a reputable, registered show breeder your task will be so much easier. Pomeranian potty training troubles usually arise with multi Pom puppies born and reared in dirty conditions.
Most Pomeranian show dog breeders will have already commenced potty training Pomeranian puppies with training pads, newspapers, or a litter tray.

Don't disturb the lovers
I will never forget the day I went to India and took a walking tour 3 miles into the forest not knowing Lions roamed those woods. Our guide had a Rifle but still just knowing a 400 pound Lion could be stalking us was like being in a jail cell with a serial killer armed with a knife.....shaking, heart over beating, and total paranoia !

wildcats looks like Kittens
Our zoo had one of these and in the smallest cage i felt so bad. She just walked with people as they walked by rubbing the fence...they had no boundrys around the fence so i got close just to see how she would react and she was just rubbing like a house cat so stuck my hand flat up to the fence and she just wanted love. Didn't act like a wild cat. After that i was to sad to stay and have refused to step foot in a zoo. That small cage was inhumane just because its a small cat doesnt mean it should be all alone in a small cage. Broke my heart. She acted like a lovable house cat...probably not normal at all which means she needed change. Idk if she's still there i haven't been in 7 years.
