A family was driving in their car through an Arizona desert when they ran into a family of skunks. They stop the car and get out so that they could check on the family of skunks to make sure they were alright.
They found all of the skunks to be ok except for one little baby skunk. The wife then asked the husband if they could take the baby skunk to the vet to get it the medical attention that it needed.
They come up on the California border checkpoint and the wife starts freaking out, “There’s no way they let us take this skunk across the border, what are we gonna do?”
The husband thinks for a second and says, “Hey I got it! Take the baby skunk and put it under your dress.”
The wife replies, “Well what about the smell?”
The husband says, “It’ll be alright, just hold its nose.”
What a crying shame about the lost Elephants, just another example of human greed! Eventually we will end up killing everything on earth. If we do get off of earth, every where we go we will leave it desolated as earth.
I wonder if a continent even as large as Africa could have continued to support a population of elephants that large and growing all the time. After all a good bit of Africa is dessert and carnivores could only take down old or sick elephants. Not to mention all the other herbivores competing for the food. Just a thought.
Between trophy hunting, poaching, habitat loss and man made droughts (due to damming rivers to creat resivoirs, the numbers have dropped even further. Recently 205 elephants were found dead or in such poor shape as they needed to be euthanized in Kenya alone, and about 6 years ago there was a similar problam is Eswatini (formerly called Swaziland)
After travelling to London to find work Paddy checks into a hotel for the first time in his life and goes up to his room. Five minutes later he calls the desk and says, “Ya have given me a room with no exit. How do I leave?”
The desk clerk says, “Sir, that’s absurd. Have you looked for the door?” Paddy replies, “Well, there’s one door that leads to the bathroom. There’s a second door that goes into the bed room. There’s a third door that goes into a closet and there’s a door I haven’t tried, becuz it has a ‘do not disturb sign’, hangin’ on the door handle.”

Ivory poachers should be shot on sight. Both elephants and rhinos, killed just for the ivory. Disgusting

So I guess the rain in Maine falls mainly on the outskirts of the desert where the land is more terra verte?

Do you know why you don’t walk in the jungle between the hours of 10 and 2?
Elephants are jumping out of the trees.
You know where pigmies come from?
