The true story of a orphan Chimpanzee in the wild being adopted by another “mother.” The preview of the movie is below in a video. But before you watch it, here is a little background on it. A documentary crew was in the area filming another documentary when they came upon this story as it unfolded before their eyes. The British film crew then got this saga on film. Jane Goodall has been promoting the film and it appears to be genuine with no ’set up” scenes to make the story.

I used my clear internet to upload our pictures from our recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. I uploaded them to shutterfly.com. After I uploaded them, I was able to send the link with the log in and password to my parents and my in-laws. My husband and I got a Nikon D600 a year ago and have really enjoyed using the camera. It really came in handy in Yellowstone. We got to capture some of nature’s most beautiful scenes. What I think is really the coolest thing about Yellowstone is the diversity of the landscape. Yellowstone is really only like forty square miles of park ( if I remember correctly) but you can drive from sulfur beds, to the top of mountains within twenty minutes. You can swim in a beautiful lake at the bottom of the mountain or take a hike up a mountain and look into a beautiful canyon and need to wear your jacket because you are standing in snow. The landscape is just so amazing and majestic. I really like to see all of the animals too.

I bet you thought that trapping and killing beavers had ended long ago, but you would be wrong. Beaver fur is still used to make felt. It is primarily used to make Stetson hats (cowboy hats) and some Women’s Hats. The fur makes the hats water repellent. With the prices of the hats in excess of $300 each it does not look like the killing of beavers for their fur will end soon.
So how many beavers have to die for one hat? It takes about 4 pounds of fur to make one hat so it would depend on the size of the beaver.
I did a brief search of the internet and could not find any place that bred and raised beavers for the fur trade so I can only assume that wild beavers were still being trapped.
