They decimate the las nieves in Pakistan Leopard

The Snow Leopard is a threatened species in Pakistan. This seen so little feline population decreased to less than 450 copies throughout the country, mainly due to hunting. An expert made an unconventional proposal- and controversial- to save the Snow Leopard: classify it as a domesticated animal.

That does not mean that the snow leopards are literally tame, like a chicken, Shafqat Hussain explained, a browser of National Geographic stated during the Symposium of explorers of the Organization held in Washington in June: "When I say that snow leopards are like house cats, I say it rhetorically to contrast with the word wild”.

The idea comes from the changing relationship between the Leopard and the man. When the cats remain in the Himalayas, increasingly they share their habitat with the mountain shepherds. In 2010 a study of Snow Leopard droppings was made and was determined that until the 70 percent of the diet of this species in the province of Gilgit Baltistan was based on sheep, cattle and other domestic animals. Some pastors hunt snow leopards in retaliation for the killing of livestock.

A Nile crocodile tries to snatch the prey a group of lionesses

This is the moment a three meter long crocodile crawled out of a river and tried to steal prey from some very angry lionesses.

The audacious crocodile of the Nile – known by the locals as Fred – risked becoming prey by approaching two fearsome adult females feeding alongside their young.

But as we watch the video and images we see a brave Fred who was undeterred as he tried his luck to steal an impala that the lionesses had just killed..

Absorbed in their food, it took the big cats a few minutes to realize Fred was coming towards them and at one point he looks like he's going to succeed as he opens his massive jaws.

The Lion Cubs worked with caution to avoid become themselves in a tasty meal for the crocodile.

At the end it seems that Fred has managed to snatch a leg of the Impala.

African grey parrots think logically like the children

The gray parrots (Psittacus erithacus), they live in the African jungle, think logically, similar to the monkeys and children from 3 years of age, ensures an investigation published this Wednesday by the University of Vienna and the Scientific Institute 'Konrad Lorenz'.

In the experiment, Austrian scientist Judith Schmidt waves two plastic cups in front of a parrot, one with a nut inside and the other empty. The animal He immediately understands that nutmeg must be hidden under the glass that makes noise.

Then, the scientist shakes only the empty glass and places it next to the other glass on the table, and the animal apparently understands that nutmeg must be under another jar.

Austrian scientists say that gray parrots nut they are always and with the same speed, shaking horizontally the two vessels or only one of them. If no noise comes out of a glass, the animals always deduce that the nut must be in the other, the study concludes. This type of reasoning is only known in monkeys and children over three years of age. A discovery that reminds us of the mythical parrot Alex, that drove a vocabulary of 150 words and changed the conception of animal thought.

Unlike the parrots, the monkeys reach this skill only after intense training, German Shepherd dogs are incapable of reasoning in this way.

The study, which is based on experiments with six animals, of between 10 and 35 years of age, has been published in the British scientific journal 'Proceedings of the Royal Society B'.
