Nice Saturday with Nature and Family























Indian Peacock


The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen, and the offspring peachicks.

The peacock displays the divine shape of Omkara when it spreads its magnificent plumes into a full-blown circular form.















 Canadian Polar bear



A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg . The polar bear is the largest living species of terrestrial predator.


Polar bears are superbly insulated by up to 10 cm (4 in) of blubber, their hide and their fur; they overheat at temperatures above 10 °C (50 °F), and are nearly invisible under infrared photography.


The polar bear has an extremely well developed sense of smell, being able to detect seals nearly 1.6 km (1 mi) away and buried under 1 m (3 ft) of snow.

Due to their lack of prior human interaction, hungry polar bears are extremely unpredictable, fearless towards people and are known to kill and sometimes eat humans





Canada goose



The male usually weighs 3.2–6.5 kg (7.1–14.3 lb), and can be very aggressive in defending territory.
Canada goose is protected in Canada under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, The calls overhead from large groups of Canada geese flying in V-shaped formation signal the transitions into spring and autumn. Canada geese are known for their seasonal migrations. Most Canada geese have staging or resting areas where they join up with others.


Flying in the V formation has been the subject of study by researchers. The front position is rotated since flying in front consumes the most energy.









Canadian Panda



The panda is a bear native to south central China.
As part of a long-term conservation partnership agreement between China and Canada, signed by Hu Jintao, President of China and Mr. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, China will loan two giant pandas to two Canadian Zoos (Toronto and Calgary) for a ten year period.
Taking in the pandas is costly. An $800,000 pen upgrade was already planned and will now cost more, the rent on the pandas is $1 million a year and there's an extra $200,000 charge if a cub is born. That's all on top of food, which can cost close to $200,000 a year.

Pandas communicate through vocalization and scent marking such as clawing trees or spraying urine.
