A Study in Nature Wildlife of America - Snow Geese by Larry Hitchins The snow goose (Chen caerulescens) is a North American species of goose. Its name derives from its white plumage. It breeds north of the arctic timberline and spends winters in places between British Columbia and Mexico. Note of interest: Every time I have seen a picture of this bird, they are all flying from right to left. Ed. Website = www.worldimagemag.com Page 24 email = magazine@photosociety.net
Animals With Attitude by Gordon When I first met the Amur Leopards at the Cat Survival Trust in Welwyn, I was greeted by the smiling face (right), they were very aggressive , and I could not blame them. Once they realised I was not going away and that I was not intimidated by the sharp claws, teeth and attitude, and after a short discussion, they calmed down. I would not say we are the best of friends, and after five years, I still get the same greeting, until they remember my scent, then they calm down. They have even been known to ‘talk’ rather than growl and snarl, I have no idea what they are talking about, but at least they make the effort. I have had the privilege of stroking the fur of these beautiful cats during their quieter days and still retain my hands. Would I want to meet one outside the wire? Not on your life, they are still fur covered killing machines no matter how cute they may be. Gordon I still get the feeling of Déjà vu every time I meet them, The initial greeting is always the same but soon changes. Website = www.worldimagemag.com Page 25 email = magazine@photosociety.net

Animals With Attitude<br />
by Gordon<br />
When I first met the Amur Leopards at the Cat<br />
Survival Trust in Welwyn, I was greeted by the<br />
smiling face (right), they were very aggressive , and<br />
I could not blame them.<br />
Once they realised I was not going away and that I<br />
was not intimidated by the sharp claws, teeth and<br />
attitude, and after a short discussion, they calmed<br />
down.<br />
I would not say we are the best of friends, and after<br />
five years, I still get the same greeting, until they<br />
remember my scent, then they calm down.<br />
They have even been known to ‘talk’ rather than<br />
growl and snarl, I have no idea what they are<br />
talking about, but at least they make the effort.<br />
I have had the privilege of stroking the fur of these<br />
beautiful cats during their quieter days and still<br />
retain my hands.<br />
Would I want to meet one outside the wire? Not on<br />
your life, they are still fur covered killing machines<br />
no matter how cute they may be.<br />

I still get the feeling of Déjà vu every time I meet<br />
them, The initial greeting is always the same but<br />
soon changes.<br />
