A tribute to Arthur William Badden Powell.

Have any of you heard of the guy by the name of Arthur William Badden Powell?? Well I have and he is a wonder to my eyes. He died at the age of 86 or 85 (dunno when his birthday was) on the 1st of July in the year 1987. If he was alive today he would be 106 or 105. Will post the final details on this as soon as I know when his birthdate was ok. He is the founder of Scouts and his wife of course is the founder of Girl Guides. He was also a conology person **conology is a study of sea shells**. He named more than 1,000 different species of molusc, sub species or species. He was a marvelous person when he lived. If any of u want to know more about NZ animals that I have not told u about get out a book called Powells Native Animals of New Zealand the 4th edition or the book called Native Animals of New Zealand - edition 3. It is a must read for all ppl out there who want to learn more about New Zealands native animals and fauna as well. Well thats all I have to say about this guy. When I reccomend this book I definatly recomend it and that is my final word. If u have any friends who would luv to learn stuff about NZ animals when they are in a different country or in New Zealand this is the book for them. Wish I could have a picture of the book but I will soon do it on another part of this blog with the pics soon OK. The pics will be posted only on Animal Luvers blog if anyone wants to see these pics. It is not yet done but it will soon be. I promise u that ok.

No 4 of Top 5 Wild Cats

This cat is the fastest cat in the world. It is also known to be the fastest animal on land, i dunno about the fastest animal either in the sea or on the land. Its name is of course the Cheetah.

This cat is far by the coolest cat I have ever heard of. Theres a joke that I know which includes this animal

Q : "What big cat do u never play cards with?" A : "The Cheetah."

It has a real big cat personality even though its not a big cat at all. There is something I have to say, rather than climbing up trees and jumping down trees, the cheetah would rather jump up trees and climb down them. The cheetah makes a bird like call instead of a roar because its legs and body is developed 4 running at high speeds like it does when it is hunting prey. I absolutly love this cat because of its strength to do speeds. It runs at short bursts but even that doesn't put me off at all.

No 5 of the Top 5 wild cats I luv

Here is the 5th one in it. I thought about this animal and realised that it is the rarest cat that I could find (Not included a species of leopard that I will show you as the days get shorter instead of longer). Check it out. Its name is the Ocelot.I found this cat as I was looking at endangered cats in a magazine 'Total Girl' and of course the tiger was no exception and this one came up to me as the 2nd coolest cat in the magazine I found. I dunno about the range of this cat but it has appeared to me as a new cool cat of the century, of 2006. Who knows it might be the 2nd or 3rd of the top 5 cats not the top 1st cat because the IndoChinese Tiger is one of the worlds greatest cats I have seen so far in my entire lifetime. This cat is also known as the painted leopard if u see it in zoos. It has 2 or maybe 1 Ocelot Cubs in a litter. The classified species is at least concern on the endangered list. If u want to see the Ocelots range click on the link in this sentence and it would lead u straight to it. Well thats all I have to say about this remarkable cat. As U have learned so have I and its been a remarkable journey learning all about the Ocelot.
