• Ranthambore tiger sent to Sari Ranthambore tiger sent to Sariska reserve

  • From: marklarson
  • Description:

    The Sariska Tiger Reserve received one more tiger when experts from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) were able to tranquilize and shift a feline from the Ranthambore National Park Easytoursofindia.com to raise Sariska’s total number of the big cats to eight - six adults and two cubs.
    

    ST-2 gave birth to two cubs last August ending speculation about the success of the first tiger relocation in June 2008. Wildlife Park officials have been targeting two young tigresses, orphaned by the death of T-5 in Ranthambore National Park, for shifting.

    The new tigress in Sariska has been named B-1 after Rajasthan Minister of Wildlife and Forest Bina Kak. At two years old, the tigress has been released in the park and killed its first prey, which is a good sign said officials. The National Tiger Conservation Authority has given permission to shift two tigresses from Ranthambore Tiger Reserve.

    This is a photo of a White Faced Capuchin Monkey that we came across while hiking in the Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica. We had decided to take a break from hiking and sat at a picnic table to eat. Our banana was smashed so we set it aside. The White Faced Capuchin Monkey decided he didn't want it to go to waste so he took the banana and peeled it and then sat at our table and ate the banana next to us. It was so funny.

  • From: VCBET
  • Description:

    Hi friends:

    Stressed about the bad economy?. Be trapped in a crowded and noisy city?. Want to stay away from a boring life?. You need a vacation!.

    Why not only get your very own photo of three of the last untouched corners of Vietnam, Pu Luong, Ba Be National Park and Ngoc Son Ngo Luong Natural Reserves, but also fulfill your responsibility to natural areas?.

    Pu Luong Natural Reverse (Pù Luông) might suggest  something of a secret garden of millions of years created by two mountains running parallely towards northwest-southeast. Instead of getting some sleep on a well-equipped and luxurious hotel, sleeping over at eco accommodation providers’ traditional houses should be thought of. It is absolutely true to note that none of travelers are not captivated by a 360-degree view over diversified natural landscapes when they climb to the highest point with the evaluation of 1700 m.

    Moving on to the second must-see travel destination, Ngoc Son-Ngo Luong (Ngọc Sơn-Ngổ Lương), is located in the northern region of Vietnam with breakthtaking scenery. Easily accessible by car, great wildlife viewing is not out of travelers’ hands. It is for sure to say that you will have 24 amazing hours with a range of community-based activities such as rafting on charming rivers flowing through a forest, having the most memorable Thais-style dining experience rather than a nine-course tasting one with.

    For sightseers, perhaps it is too enough to make them remember it over and over. So, how any travelers can explore part of Vietnam’s hidden beauty in terms of way which was is different from others?.

    All you have to do is to join our tourism network_VCBET, Vietnam Community-Based Ecotourism Network, whereby you can get your responsible one-and-only trip done in relation to the local community. On the one hand, our carefully designed tourism products are good value for money as to participants. On the other hand, it is right your actions taken on minimizing the negative impact of tourism on where you had set your foot, providing direct financial benefits to hosts, and contributing to have a world of better tomorrow.

    That’s exactly what our eco-tours and your journey ahead are all about.

    And believe it or not, once you make a snap decision getting involved our eco-tours, you will have that “aha” moment…
