A beautiful and incredible creature, The Snow Leopard, is in a critical condition. They’re endangered, and dying quickly. There are hardly any left due to Poaching, Poisoned and limited food supply and so on. That’s why we need to help the Snow Leopard Trust. They save and protect Snow Leopards in their natural habitat.

On a trip to Rwanda, explore had the opportunity to visit four families of wild mountain gorillas, a species with only 720 remaining members. Their guide is Craig Sholley, who has been intimately involved in the preservation of African wildlife for more than 30 years. The team’s thrilling interaction with these peaceful creatures - who share 98.6% of their genetic makeup with humans - is a startling reminder of their own humanity.

Here in Botswana elephants frolick & play in a watering hole. You can even see them sitting down & splashing with their front legs. Botswana has more elephants than any other African country as the Government has protected its natural wildlife. Please comment and share your thoughts on these magnificent creatures.
These tiny baby orangutans are orphans who are being rehabilitated to try and get them back in the wild. They are so cute and wear nappies and get bathed just like human babies.

Enjoy a short trip over Africa and see Elephants, Hippo’s, Buffalo’s, Camels, Flamingo’s, Seals and Gazelle’s in great detail. You even see an African fishing boat near the Flamingo’s. You hear some nice free African Music during your short flight.

The humpback whale is a baleen whale and a rorqual whale that sings amazing songs. It performs complex and cooperative feeding techniques. The name humpback describes the motion it makes as it arches its back out of the water in preparation for a dive.
Humpback whales grow to be about 52 feet (16 m) long, weighing 30-50 tons (27-45 tonnes). The females are slightly larger than males, as with all baleen whales. The four-chambered heart of the average humpback whale weighs about 430 pounds (195 kg) – about as much as three average adult human beings. Humpback whales are the noisiest and most imaginative whales when it comes to songs. They have long, varied, complex, eerie, and beautiful songs that include recognizable sequences of squeaks, grunts, and other sounds. The songs have the largest range of frequencies used by whales, ranging from 20-9,000 Hertz. Only males have been recorded singing. They sing the complex songs only in warm waters, perhaps used for mating purposes. In cold waters, they make rougher sounds, scrapes and groans, perhaps used for locating large masses of krill (the tiny crustaceans that they eat). ( Info from enchantedlearning.com)
