Did you know that African Elephants mother's boast the longest gestation period of any land animal ?

They carry their babis in their womb for about 660 days or 22 months.
The newborn elephant weighs about 230 pounds (105 kilograms)!

The Asian elephants are already endangered and the African Elephants are Vulnerable, all facing critical threats. 

What is the connection between Batman and Endangered Species? 
So... Today is Batman Day (yes! not a joke) and this reminded us 
of an endangered species that usually doesn't receive much attention: Bats.

The bats are the only mammals that are capable of true flight. 
Almost 1,000 bat species can be found worldwide. In fact, bats make up a quarter of all mammal species in our world!

Tomorrow is Polar Bear Day. These are one of the vulnerable species of our planet. 
The Polar Bear population faces many threats:  from climate changes threatening their sea ice habitat,
to pollution, poaching, and disturbances from industrial activities.
This is a great opportunity to teach our kids about polar bears and conservation! Here are ten polar bear art and craft ideas to get your kids engaged.

Happy Valentine's Day! 
Here are a few beautiful images capturing wild animals loving moments.  
Each one of these beautiful species is facing threats of becoming endangered. 
There is a lot we can still do to help save endangered species and save their habitats. 

The IUCN determined that 12% of our world’s bird species are endangered and in threat of being extinct. Additional 8% are in near threat status. 
Therefore 1 of every 5 birds could be extinct during the next 50-80 years, that is about 2,000 different bird species!

Although the monarch butterfly is not considered to be globally threatened, the North American migration is recognized by the IUCN to be an endangered biological phenomenon. 

The flight of the butterflies is the longest known distance insect migration on Earth – and it’s been occurring for thousands of years.
