Maybe these photographs will disabuse you of these naive idyllic notions..
The stark reality is that for both predator and prey life is precarious. For the prey especially herbivores, a carpet of vegetation is all that is required for sustenance. Just as crucial, if not more so, is the tenet of the survival of the fitness or in some cases the survival of the lucky.

Have you ever wondered why my blogs have an overabundance of images in them? Even if I cannot find appropriate images on Google for an arcane subject such as euthanasia, I will instead embed images of winter scenes to evocate the response that I am endeavouring to achieve. According to the Pew Research Centre, the emotion and attention engendered by an image will result in an Internet User being 7.4 times more likely to click on the content.

From the obvious crudity, the term Heath Robinson springs to mind as they all bear this hallmark.

The source of these facts is unknown. Like many emails that one receives, its author is never known. Unlike most which I immediately delete or distribute after reading, this is one which I kept and read again the following day.
Maybe you will also find some of these facts equally as fascinating. For instance, the size of a kangeroo when it is born in its mother’s pouch cannot be larger than a few peas.
