Our World- Scary visitors

 My daughter was watching the Euro 2012 football match a few nights ago, when she and her husband heard a growl.. They peeped out from the window and were thrilled to see a huge leopard in their car porch. And this happened in the IIT campus in Mumbai, which is adjoining the Borivili National Park. As they were watching the leopard, a second one sprang down from a tree nearby!
 After a lot of activity for the next two days by the forest guards, the big cats were persuaded to go back to the jungle from where they came.
Leopards, elephants and other wild animals are increasingly coming into cities because their habitat is being reduced constantly by greedy humans.
This is my contribution to Our World Tuesday.

    Very exciting! Ive never been able to see a carnivore close up! Though we heard a lot of monkeys' panic calls on our trip to Kabini. But yeah, sad part is that their habitats are being reduced by humans...

    It is sad to see there is such a loss of habitat for these beautiful animals. It would be exciting to see one, just not TOO close. Thanks for sharing your world. Have a great day!

    That is a world wide problem, and needs to be dealt with. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

    There were quite a few such cases in our city where leopards attacked people. Such a scary thing that sight must have been.

    "Another Year" Mike Leigh film about the cycle of life told through a loving, longtime marriage of equals is also about aging, friendship and mental illness. The couple, played with generosity of spirit by Ruth Sheen and Jim Broadbent, are the reluctant sole confidantes of a woman, played by Lesley Manville, whose neuroses and alcoholism erode their relationship with her.

    Therefore, one of the most important things to know about the enormous Bethpage State Park is where to go. Though it can be entered at hundreds of locations, I usually choose the trails by Charles Champagne elementary school or the main entrance between Powell Avenue and the Bethpage Parkway. From there, you have a few choices, depending on your stamina that day: follow the 13 14 miles of trails that lead to Jones Beach, or head in the opposite direction towards Trail View State Park, and eventually Cold Spring Harbor State Park (a distance of approximately 15 miles).

    It's a similar story at Selfridges, according to head of accessories Eleanor Robinson, who says a spectrum of bright colours at a more accessible price pointis driving sales. Robinson is looking forward to seeing how the Aspinal x Etre Ccile collaboration fares she feels it strikes the balance between quality, price and sassiness. 'It's also because attitudes have changed,' she says (tags: Cheap Real Yeezys, Discount Jordan Shoes Wholesale, Cheap Yeezys).
