I lead my Grulla Mare, Savanna, to water. She is the gray of a mule deer's winter coat, with a dorsal stripe and zebra markings on her legs that trace back to the original wild horses, though she is quarter horse, not mustang.

Isegrim kehrt nach Deutschland zurück. Der Wolf wird leider nicht nur in Märchen als böse und hinterlistig beschrieben. Wahrscheinlicher ist aber, dass Isegrim von uns Menschen als Nahrungskonkurrent betrachtet und deshalb über Jahrtausende verfolgt wurde.

Wölfe haben schon frühzeitig Eingang in die Mythen und Märchen vieler Völker gefunden, sie zählen daher zu den bekanntesten Raubtieren.

A personal and humorous memoir of Arthur's life amongst his hens, this is an invitation to discover the joy that is only possible in the company of these intriguing creatures.

In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

Was kümmert es uns, wenn in Brasilien eine Art verschwindet, von deren Existenz wir bis dahin gar nichts gewusst haben? Und wäre es nicht fantastisch, wenn Mücken ausstürben? Ganz und gar nicht: Die Natur ist ein Netzwerk, in der jeder Organismus eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Keine Art existiert unabhängig von den anderen – wir Menschen sind hier keine Ausnahme. Ohne den Reichtum der Natur könnten wir nicht überleben: ohne Insekten kein Obst, ohne Mikroorganismen kein Humus, ohne Mücken keine Schokolade.
