Fake spring

March 20th, 2010 Lies Rosema No comments

After a wonderful week of nice weather, it snowed here so we went to a butterfly exhibit in a rain forest.  They also have a few frogs, lizzards, and birds.

This is the Blue Morpho, closed for bizznaz :(

This is a Dutch species of butterflij originating in Friesland, rare in most of North America but oddly common in west Michigan.

Cougar vs. Bear

From Lorie, Gavin’s Mom:

The video above was taken from a movie, here is a review of the film:

Storytelling doesn’t get much purer than this–a film with virtually no dialogue and not a minute that isn’t fascinating, either for the plot it pursues or the way director Jean-Jacques Annaud gets his ursine stars to do what he wants. The story deals with a young cub who, after his mother is killed in a landslide, bonds to a lumbering male Kodiak. The two of them then must cope with an invasion of hunters into their territory–and Annaud makes it clear whose side he’s on. Aside from stunning scenery, the film offers startlingly close-up looks at bear behavior. They say the best actors are the ones that let you see what they’re thinking, a trick Annaud manages with his big, furry stars. –Marshall Fine

The Human Society of the United States is a scam that markets itself as helping the local animal shelter while really the largest radical PETA aligned special interest group with an agenda to end hunting and turn all American’s into vegans.
