350TH TLB POST - Statistics Sunday 9
Most exotic cats exhibit white patches on the backs of their ears called Ear Spots or Flashes. In the moonlight, these spots reflect the light, looking like eyes on the back of the cat's head, protecting it from an attack from the rear by other predators, who generally prefer to attack from behind. It also allows cubs to follow their mother on her nightly patrol, but if she goes into a stalking position, with ears flattened back, the cubs cannot follow her and ruin her chance of securing a kill.
Individual cheetahs are quite similar to one another due to their lack of genetic diversity.
How many South China tigers exist in the wild, you think? Only just about 20 South China tigers are left in the wild - twenty! Poor endangered creatures...
The name bobcat is an abbreviation of "bob-tailed cat", which refers to its short, dark ringed tail. (And I thought it was named after Bob Hope... sheesh!)
And now I want to thank GOD, First and Foremost, for 350 days of blogging for the most part uninterrupted... I want to thank the few, the proud, the... regular (?) L.O.V.s out there... they know who they are *lol* - and I want to thank Blogger of course - for providing me with the means to "get out there" - to write and be read by some... to put together a colorful site here at no cost at all... heck, to waste my time in such a constructive way! ;) Bless Ya, Blogger! No, not you Paul - that would read "Beat it, booger!" instead! *LOL* Hey - it's my party - and I'll be rude if I want to... rude if I want to... rude if I want to... (For those who are not getting it, I was trying to get the feel of a classic song there - without music (or even sound) and with modified lyrics too...! Sue me, will you... *lol*). Or on second thought, don't sue me...! :( *lol*

Cheetahs are amazing animals. They are the fastest cat in the world. Unfortunately they too often get shot by farmers. :(
There are only 20 South China Tigers left in the wild? I sure hope they are in a protected area so that they can hopefuly multiply their numbers in peace! If they are not then it seems most likely that they will be come extinct! :(
Have A Great Day (\ô/)
((HUGS))

Paul had to e-mail his birthday card in re: 350 posts...
"this started with the red sox eh? looking forward to see it end with the sox choking this year!!!!!!"
They were once called BOTH the Boston Strangler and Stranglee... A cutesy way to infer that they were chokers, yes... However, since they REVERSED THE CURSE, Paulie, they have shed that image completely now - just like the Boston Bruins undid years of frustration by defeating the execrable Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs in 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994... am I forgetting one year in there?
Win or lose THIS YEAR... the Red Sox made the Damn Yankees CHOKE - in an unprecedented way too! Leading 3-0 and losing it in 7... wow! And then the Sox swept the mighty St-Louis team in the World Series - the same St-Louis franchise that had ripped them off twice before in the World Series historically speaking! THE RED SOX WON... the curse has been lifted. (And likewise, win or lose, Bruins will bruise! *lol* But that is another story...! With a definite link though since Babe Ruth, the originator of the Curse of the Bambino on the Sox, also got a bone to grind with the Bruins - being told by Eddie Shore in the forties that he didn't cut it in hockey and should stick to baseball instead... he sure did follow Eddie's advice though, didn't he?).
Once again... you got me going Paulie... and you sure can't stop me! *LOL*
