Giant river otter pups at Zoo Miami
The birth of two giant river otter pups in Florida earlier this year is big news both for their endangered species and the zoo where they were born.
The pups -- one male and one female who haven't yet been named -- were born at Zoo Miami on Jan. 31 to mother Kara and father Witoto. They are the first offspring for both parents and the first members of their species to be born at Zoo Miami.
The babies and their parents were kept in seclusion until recently and made a rare appearance last week during a veterinary checkup. (Both pups are reportedly in good health.)
Giant river otters are native to South America, where their population has been adversely impacted by hunting. Though these little guys only weigh about 2 to 3 pounds now. As adults they'll weigh as much as 75 pounds and measure up to 6 feet in length!

perspective
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

pretty song, March 2010
If you forget it all, I will bring it with me
If you can't find the sea, I will take you there
Green, you still know me by name
Even though I'm losing
Doesn't make me a loser yet
You still know me by name, Green
I'll still be Lady Daydream
She took it all from me
Now I can't find my place
Do you 'member me
Do you know my face?
It could all be a dream, Green
