Older Elephants Are Great Leaders


We have heard so much about the bravery of the lioness' who are great hunters. They find food for themselves and their packs and possess great hunting skills. However, in a similar manner female elephants are said to have some extra ordinary skills as well when we talk about the bigger animals.

It has been discovered according to the Zoologists working in Amboseli National Park in southern Kenya that younger elephants often under react in situations when they have to be be on their guard. At times when they hear the lion's roar that is extremely dangerous, they still don't pay heed.

However, groups of elephants that are led by older elephants both males and females are likely do much better at protecting themselves. The older elephants have the experience that helps them to identify the level of danger and potential threat around them when they hear the lion's roar.

Stop the Deadly Den Hunts!



Cruel den hunts in Russia are leaving poor bear cubs orphaned and defenseless. Hunters allure mothers out of their dens using dogs, and then shoot them and sell their bodies for human consumption. Not only is this unfair killing highly inhumane to the mothers, it also renders their cubs motherless and unable to fend for or protect themselves. Most of these cubs don't make it through the winter.

We must take action to ensure these baby bears are given the best possible chance of survival. Please sign the petition below asking Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to put a stop to this deadly hunt.
