Where's Flynn?

Flynn is going in the tractor shed. I better see what he's up to.

Where did he go? Are you in the trailer Flynn?

Nope, not here.

Oh, this is a nice sun puddle though.

Mmm very nice.

Spose I should look for Flynn.

Nope, this sun puddle has got my name on it.

I hope he's not lost. I can't see him.

He 's disappeared!

I better go home and see if he's gone back there.

Ah, there he is, looking for fevvers in the hedge.

Tummy Tuesday

sniff sniff sniff

Mmmm have a nice roll

You thought I'd forgotten didn't you.

Happy Tummy Tuesday!!!!!

Mancat Monday

We have had a few dry days and some have even been sunny, so that means we can go for walks again.

We are looking for mousies, but it has been mild and wet this winter which means the grass kept growing. That means it is thick and matted underneath which makes it hard for us to get to them. It probably makes the mousies happy though.

We know they are here because we heard them squeaking.

But where are they?

Are they over there?

or over here?

Maybe when the horses have been in here and eaten the grass it will be easier for us.

They may have been in here, but it looks like the badger got here first.

Easy Like Sunday

It's a sunny day and it is getting warmer, so my easy will be in the fields enjoying the view.

Hope you all have a good day too.

Watching.

come closer.......................

just a bit closer......................

Gotcha!!!

Now I can kill the strap.

Human Interactions Of Sea Lion

Some species of sea lion are readily trainable and are often a popular attraction at zoos and aquariums. The archetypal circus "seal" performing behaviors such as throwing and catching balls on its nose and clapping is almost always a sea lion.

Sea lions have been trained by the U.S. Navy's Marine Mammal Program, based in San Diego, to detain scuba divers.

Sea lion attacks on humans are rare. In a highly unusual attack in 2007 in Western Australia a sea lion leapt from the water and seriously mauled a 13-year old girl surfing behind a speedboat. The sea lion appeared to be preparing for a second attack when the girl was rescued. An Australian marine biologist opined the sea lion may have viewed the girl "like a rag doll toy" to be played with. In San Francisco where an increasingly large population of California sea lion crowds dock along San Francisco Bay, there have been incidents in recent years of swimmers being bitten on the leg by large aggressive males, possibly as a territorial act.

The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped the sea and its animals. They often depicted sea lions in their art.

Sea lions have also been reported to assist or save humans who show signs of distress in the open waters. In June of 2000, Kevin Hines leaped into the San Francisco bay and it was reported that he was saved by a sea lion that kept him afloat and breathing till the paramedics arrived.

Dingo

Currently the dingo is often a wild dog of Southeast Asia and today Commonwealth of Australia. It is ordinarily known as the Australian wild dog. The dingo is known to have originated in Asia and brought to Commonwealth of Australia by Austronesian mongers some 3,000 years ago. Him or her throve upon launching, and chop chop disseminate everywhere on Australia, quite possibly with human assistance. Within a short time period the dingo had occupied the entire continent and became a dominant predator, likely contributing to the extinction of marsupial carnivores such as the Thylacine. In recent generations, the dingo has become seen as a pest species, and many measures, including an extensive fence, have been made to stem its encroachment on human property welfare. Also, because of its inbreeding with dogs introduced by European settlers, the dingo gene pool is also considered to be increasingly "polluted". Thus, its present day status is considered "Vulnerable", with some believing its extinction to be inevitable. Name : Dingo. Scientific Name : Canis lupus dingo. Status : Vulnerable. Kingdom : Animalia. Phylum : Chordata. Class : Mammalia. Order : Carnivora. Genus : Canis. Species : C. lupus. Subspecies : C. l. dingo.
