Our Animal of the day........THE CHEETAH:

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large feline (family Felidae, subfamily Felinae) inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. It is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds. This cat is also notable for modifications in the species' paws. It is one of the few felids with semi-retractable claws.


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend

Our animal of the day: THE TREE CLIMBING LIONS

It is somewhat uncommon for lions to actually climb trees. There are no more than 2 populations in whole world of such lions that do actually climb trees as one of their day after day behavior. One of these populations is found within the Ishasha sector which is found in the south part of the well known Queen Elizabeth National Park within Uganda.   The other population is found in Lake Manyara National Park in the Southern part of Tanzania.
It is supposed that this type of lions climb trees as a way of protecting themselves against the numerous biting tsetse flies on the ground level, whereas other people claim the they actually climb into the branches to escape from the heat on the ground and enjoy the cool breeze; nonetheless the reason why they climb up into the tree branches remains unknown.

Let's pray and hope for peace in Southern Sudan, soon.

On July 9, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan became the 193rd member nation at the UN. South Sudan’s complex history, diverse culture, natural landscape and developments needs can be understood in part by reading, analyzing, comparing and combining maps. Maps help understand the physical landscape, cultural diversity, environmental challenges and resource use, language distribution, among many other things. Maps offer a visualization tool to rapidly understand the complexity of a place like South Sudan that has been ravaged by war and has emerged as an independent country with trememdous challenges ahead.

Today is Saturday......... It's Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
