The pelicans are ancient creatures, dating from The Tertiary. Since then, their number decreased by degrees, due to human intervention. So, they completely disappeared from West an Center Europe. The only place form Europe where you can admire them is the Est, most precisely, the Danube Delta.
Did you know that this is the place where, less than a hundred years ago, took place a
terrible massacre? It all began because, by their increasing number, they were considered a treat by the fishermen, and a danger to their haul. So fisherman and hunters began the carnage. And their ways were beyond words. They were reworded for each pelican leg with a cartridge. The hunters cruelty was so big that, eventually, they didn't even trouble to kill them before. They cut the legs and let them suffer to death...Sometimes, they did it even for a botlle of alcohol...
Some years after, the pelicans became protected by law....
Tyrannosaurus Rex, Sabre-tooth Tiger, Dodo Bird, Mammoth.
You all know them from movies and especially cartoons. But what are they... fiction or reality....Well, a ten year old child will tell you they are definitly reality. A reality from the past, though. They were extinct either milions of years ago, either centuries ago. They were victim of climate changes, natural disasters and in some cases ..human being. These are not the only examples.
Our Earth was twice wiped out of most of plant and animal breeds during the eons. Some say that is a process that, finally, but not last, brought to the evolution of human beings.
Did you know that, today, 22 per cent of plant species are obolescent. The major cause of this event is...man, directly or indirectly.
Did you know that chrysanths absorb the benzene produced by cigarettes, the toxins emitted by xerox, different paint and polish?
The blue colour of the sky gives me a feeling of safety and peace. It's the perfect colour...it just feels right. Not the same thing I can say when I see the sunset. As beautiful as it is most of the times, it gives me a bad feeling, and I instantly think of dust, blood, war... But did you know that some 2,5 million years ago, our sky had only orange shades? Which one do you prefer?
Have you ever heard about the tree called Sequoia Gigantea? Also known as Sequoiadendron giganteum, Wellingtonia Gigantea or Giant Sequoia, it's the largest tree in the world, in terms of volume. They can reach an average height of 50-85 metres and 6-8 metres in diameter. In our country this tree is declared natural monument and it's protected by law.
Did you know that there are only two regions in our country where you can see this giant tree? This picture shows one of the few representatives of this species, from our country.
