Of course it does. But much more importantly - what about the fish who have to LIVE in it? Fishermen could get other employment - fish can't choose their own ocean? #pollution #banoceanoildrilling #venezuela

I published an essay today about Willow: a mountain lion whose life was closely observed, and largely left untouched.
The piece stands on its own, but it’s in conversation with a documentary many of you have seen.

A collapsed sewer line, about 8 miles from the White House, pumped 368 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of wastewater into the Potomac. Repairs could take longer than previously expected.

Bundle up when out in the cold, unless you’re an Arctic fox!
Arctic foxes have compact bodies that help minimize surface area exposed to cold air. Their short muzzle, ears, and legs help conserve heat, and their thick fur allows them to maintain a consistent body temperature!

As a team, the pair will maintain a territory, search for prey, and, above all, remain loyal to one another and their family unit. #wolffact
