Detour: Tiger Pete Peter Renzo has not taken a vacation since 1975. He traded in any chance at a normal life when he began adopting tigers. His largest was Sabre, a Siberian weighing over 1000 pounds. “My daughter used to ride him. They were inseparable. I raised them in a crib together,” says Renzo. Renzo began working with big cats during an apprenticeship with the late Dr. Ray McPeek, former Director of Skylands Compound for Exotic Felines in New Jersey.

To navigate the currents of ecological fate, most creatures adapt — but a few have stuck to their evolutionary guns. Known as living fossils, they lasted for millions of years with barely a change, even as their relatives went extinct or took different paths across the tree of life. Many are now threatened or endangered. But with some luck and a little help, living fossils will be able to survive the age of humans, too.

It has been a tumultuous year for Russia - a new president, war in Georgia, a teetering economy. But for some callers to a Vladimir Putin phone-in today, there were more important matters.

Masih ingat salah satu pemandangan di film Earth? Dimana disana dilukiskan hamparan pohon-pohon berdaun jarum yang amat luas. Luar biasa luasnya sampai-sampai hutan ini menjadi hutan yang terluas di muka bumi. Luasnya melebihi seperempat luas daratan bumi, dan Bioma Taiga pun menjadi bioma darat terluas di bumi. Saya selalu ingat narasi di film itu, bahwa hutan ini merupakan salah satu pemasok oksigen terbesar di planet yang beruntung ini : Bumi. Izinkan saya sedikit berlebihan : “Hutan Korean Tigers Back from the Brink of Extinction, Except in South Korea
“Long ago, when tigers smoked long pipes… ” begin folk tales in South Korea. The stories recall a time at the farthest reaches of living memory when Korean tigers, the world’s largest cats, still prowled the Korean peninsula. Korea’s national creation myth also tells of a tiger and a bear who asked the son of the ruler of Heaven if he would make them human. He agreed, but only if they could endure 100 days in a cave eating nothing but garlic and mugwort. The steadfast bear endured and became a Otis funk ramble

Scientists say they are one step closer to a Jurassic Park style revival of the woolly-mammoth thanks to the DNA from a frozen ball of hair. It may look like something the cat coughed up (or should that be saber-toothed tiger) but the boffins say the DNA they were able to extract has advanced their understanding of the prehistoric beast. The genetic code they were able to uncover shows the extinct species of elephant was not as different to modern day dumbos as was previously thought.

One of the largest cats to have ever existed, American Lion is a long extinct subspecies of lions. A descendant of cave lions of Eurasia, the American Lion is thought to have evolved during the later part of the Pleistocene era, nearly seventy thousand years ago. It arrived into the Americas around thirty thousand years ago through the Bering Land Bridge that joined Eastern Siberia to Alaska.
