Lynx have adapted to life in the snow. They have huge feet that function as snow-shoes, allowing this tufted-eared cat to hunt in deep snow country without wasting energy by breaking trails.
Lonesome George having trouble finding love
Lonesome George having trouble finding love Lonesome George is the last giant tortoise of his
kind on the Galapagos Islands, and he has been unable to mate.
George weighs about 90 kilograms and is between 50 and 80 years
old. Scientists have placed two female tortoises of his closest
subspecies with George, but so far with no luck. They are unsure
why George has not mated, but are worried that the elderly tortoise
will die without an heir, leaving his subspecies
extinct. FEBRUARY 23, 2001
