   Cougars are very misunderstood animals.Very few people know a lot about them or have an interest in them. After they kill their food they have to hide it from wolves and risk starvation.Cougars live in the  cold,snowy mountains like the Grand Tetons. The average wild cougar only lives up to 12 years. A cougar can cover 15 miles a night.Cougars cover their kills with snow to keep it fresh.

                                     THE LITTLE DODO BIRD

 


The little dodo is just 12 inches long. It`s a  relative of the famous “big” dodo bird, which lived on the Island of Mauritius until it was hunted to extinction some 400 years ago. Unfortunately, extinction threatens the little dodo as well: A few hundred individuals remain on two Samoan islands, and they are disappearing at an alarming rate due to habitat loss and illegal hunting.
