Animal of The Week (3)
Hello viewers, it's that time again for the new Animal of the Week! This week's animal is...the turkey vulture!
The Turkey Vulture is one of the biggest birds of prey. It likes to eat dead animals, so it follows highways for animals that we humans run over with our cars. It can smell food even if it is kilometres away. It has a 6-foot wing span, and it can fly for 5 hours straight without flapping it's wings once! After about 3 weeks after it eats it's food, the turkey vulture vomits it out, because the dead animal would be decaying in its body the whole time. The vulture just takes the nutrients from the dead animal it eats and then it vomits it out. Turkey vultures are also very valuable to the environment because it can kill diseases. Suppose it eats a diseased dead animal, the turkey vulture's stomach's fluids will break down the disease and kill it. So that's the new animal of the week, and stay tuned for more!

A Real Eco-Hero!
Hello viewers, this post is going to be dedicated to one of the biggest Eco-Heroes of all time, Albert Arnold Gore Jr. He was the 45th vice president of the United States. He was born in March 31st, 1948 (Aged 62), and he was born in Washington DC. He was a man of many talents, he served the army, he was the Vice President, but what I really like about him is his interest in the environment.

Algore campaigning to be President of the United States in 1999.
He is my hero because he wrote a fantastic book about the environment called 'An Inconvenient Truth', and that book turned out to be a Academy Award documentery! He was always hitting the books trying to get as much information about global warming as possible. But he went beyond books, he thought of the outcomes of global warming himself through scientific reasoning. He really thought outside of the box, and that's why he won so many awards. He was a simple and humble person, and that's what made him more likeable. So guys, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed my little write up about Algore!

Did you know?
Hello viewers, here is just a fact file I got when I was reading something. Hope you find it interesting!
-In the past 30 years, roughly 86% of world's population of rhinoceroses has been killed for parts by poachers.
-With the construction of hotels and airports, animals and wildlife that live near beaches are disturbed because of the air pollution, the noise and the blinding lights.
-Monk seals are the most rare seals in the whole world. Less than 500 Mediterranean monk seals remain, and about 1,500 Hawaiian monk seals are left. The Caribbean monk seals are already extinct.
-In 1830's, the world's population was about 1000 million (1 billion). But it took only about a 100 years for the total population to double itself.

Wetland Destruction
Aloha guys! So, as the title says, we are going to talk about Wetlands. 
Wetlands are the world's richest ecosystems. Lots of them have been deforested and some of them have been damaged by wild weather, droughts (No rain), and rise in sea level. Wetlands are home to lots of wildlife as well, such as insects, birds, and fish. More than 50% of wetlands have been destroyed. Humans love wetlands most of all because it offers lots of protection from floods, so humans make wetlands their industrial location, and their homes, therefore, cutting down the forest. But if we keep cutting down the forests, then we not only are helping feed global warming with all the excess pollution, but we are also killing the wildlife that lives in those kinds of regions. So do Earth a favour by not cutting trees!

It's as you guessed, its time to tell you the new Animal of the Week. This week's animal is... the Tiger! 
Some facts about the tiger:

They are now considered an endangered species.
They can weigh over 300 kilograms (660 pounds)
The most common species is the Bengal Tiger and the largest species is the Siberian Tiger.
They live mostly in grasslands and the Siberian Tiger lives in the Siberian Taiga.
The Tiger is India's national animal.
Tiger's are excellent swimmers, they can swim 4 miles with dead prey and they normally cool off in pools during extreme heat.
Because of poaching (hunting), the population of tiger's in the wild now is estimated to be around 2,000. At the start of the 20th century, it was estimated to be 100,000 tigers in the wild.
The majority of the tigers are now in India.
Humans consider the tiger their main Game. (Hunt)
The tiger was voted the world's most favourite animal based on a pool Animal Planet had.
Well, that's all for now, stay tuned for more!
