Effects of global warming

On the North Pole the effects of global warming are starting to be felt.
Definite proof of global warming ;)

Fun Facts about Polar bears
Polar bears are considered a marine mammal. Maybe because they spend just as much time on ice as they do on land.

Even though our eyes tell us differently, a polar bear’s fur is not white. Each hair is completely color free and transparent with a hollow core. Polar bears look white because the hollow core scatters and reflects visible light, just like ice and snow does. When photographed with film sensitive to ultraviolet light, polar bears appear black.

A polar bear is so well bundled-up that it loses almost no heat. In addition to its thick fur, the bear’s blubber can be up to 4.5 inches thick. In fact, they’re so well insulated that adult males quickly overheat when they run.

When the ice is very thin, polar bears crawl on their bellies to keep from breaking the ice and falling in. By crawling, the bears spread out their weight more evenly.

Amazing Talking Cat

This cat had something to say ;)

Why do they bark?
It’s cat behavior in the context of hunting–telling other cats (in effect) “Shh! I’ve seen a bird, I’m going to to try to catch it.” Depending on how close the bird (or other prey) is, the sound can be a whisper. It’s not the usual cat meow, it’s not meant to be, as that might alert the target. I’d like to be corrected if I need to be. If you own a cat and a garden frequented by birds, try to be around your cat in the presence of birds to test what I’ve just said here.

Meet Tessa.
She may walk on all fours, but she’s been trained to sit up and eat properly come chow time.
Tessa eats her food with a fork, and even chopsticks.
Tessa even has the courtesy to wash her paws before dinner.
