VIDA ANIMAL
North Florida Springs, 1998Photograph by Wes Skiles
A flexible and graceful swimmer, the West Indian manatee migrates annually to Florida's coastal waters. This balmy winter retreat unfortunately holds a palpable danger for these gentle creatures. In 2005, collisions with watercraft and other human-related accidents accounted for nearly 25 percent of all manatee deaths in Florida according to the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Boating speed limits and the creation of sanctuaries are just some of the protections put into place by state and federal lawmakers to help save the endangered manatee.

Bom negócio para o comendador, não? Alguém faz uma ideia quanto lhe custaría manter e armazenar a colecção caso não conseguisse um museu?
ResponderEliminarPorque é que continuam a zurzir na dama, quando todos sabem que o verdaeiro ministro da Cultura é um que já foi e agora também está no governo?
ResponderEliminarO manatin é mais gracioso que a senhora mencionada no cartoon.
