As a student of Animal Behavior, I have always had a compelling fascination for Animals that Paint. When in Thailand on a Global Ecology Trip three years ago, I had the opportunity to observe some of the younger Elephants that did paintings for the tourists, to help earn their keep. I have three Elephant Paintings hanging on my Office wall here in Sedona, as well as one which was done by two (rescued) Dolphins, who were taught to paint in captivity as an activity to keep them busy and creative. All of the artwork I had seen previously is abstract. What you will see in this movie from Thailand is truly astonishing, and is just another example how the animals who inhabit Earth’s Biosphere have unique and truly wonderful ways of expressing themselves.

Scientists were recently surprised to learn that Antarctic Krill can survive and thrive at depths down to 3000 meters (9,800 feet), as well as in the surface waters where they abound in vast numbers. This discovery completely changes scientists’ understanding of this major food source for Fish, Squid, Penguins, Seals and Whales. Krill spawn in the surface waters, and were thought to live only in depths down to 150 meters. Krill is used for everything from heart medicines to fish feed, with catch totals reaching about 120,000 tons each year. The British Antarctic Survey calculated that the total biomass of Antarctic krill is between 50-150 million tons. Scientists are concerned that krill stocks have declined sharply since the 1970’s, apparently due to the decline in winter sea ice. To read the full story CLICK HERE

“It has been 40 years now since I first became aware of the reality of the extraterrestrial presence on Planet Earth. Since that experience, my life has never been quite the same. A fire was ignited within my very being. I continued to learn, to seek, and to know more and more about what I later came to understand is the most important issue in human history. The issue is not that we are not alone, but that we have never been alone.

I was to learn that the human race has had, and continues to have, an intimate interrelationship with several advanced intelligent races from other planets, solar systems, and star systems within our galaxy - and that this relationship has been underway for several thousand years. Continue Reading »
