#InternationalTIGERday

FFFFOUND! | Pictured: Astonishing photos of rare Bengal Tiger at... (clipped to polyvore.com)

I had no idea that today was International Tiger Day. (Yep, go @twitter!) But despite my own ignorance I am motivated to post these five incredible photographs of the majestic and engendered Big Cats. Maybe having and International Tiger Day and a trending hashtag could bring awareness to the need of preservation efforts for our precious flaura and fauna.#NOmoreCagedAnimals!

High Diving Giraffes: Take a 3D dip in style

If you have to see one video this week it has to be this one! Yes! it is not real but who cares: this animation is flawless. Artist Nicholas Deveaux's whimsical animation-- 5 mètres 80-- which depicts a team of high-diving giraffes is a welcome diversion from real life and daily mundane to brighten up your day. It surely did mine. Enjoy!

Are you a cat lover? If yes, this one is for you ..

Presenting... The liquid cat!

In Memory of Cecil The Lion

Cecil the Lion, a prized lion and a national icon of Zimbabwe, was poached and killed this week by Walter Palmer, a dentist from Minneapolis, MN according to multiple media reports.

A petition requesting the extradition of Walter Palmer to the African nation to face justice needed to receive 100,000 signatures by August 27 to get a response from the Administration. It has far exceeded this requirement.

"We urge the Secretary of State John Kerry and the Attorney General Loretta Lynch to fully cooperate with the Zimbabwe authorities and to extradite Walter Palmer promptly at the Zimbabwe government's request," the petition says. 

 

Despite the international outrage Palmer is nowhere to be found according to news reports. 
Although probably only symbolic, if you are in the U.S., sign the petition to show your outrage at the continuing pouching and killing of wild animal. It is appalling and should be illegal. And yet it is not and people like Palmer considers killing a 'sport'.

here is the petition:

Thank you for reading.
