This is my last blog for 2010, wishing all my reader's a marry Christmas and a happy new year :)

Matter Of Fact!

There are fewer than 3 500 tigers left in the wild, compared to 7 000 a decade ago and 40 000 in the 1950s. There are more tigers in captivity in Texas than in the wild throuhout Asia.

There are currently 6 subspecies of tigers. The different subspecies are found in areas of Asia, India and Russia. The largest subspecies is found in snowy areas of Russia. The smallest and darkest subspecies is found farther south, in the jungles of Indonesia. Tigresses (females) are always smaller than males.

SIBERIAN OR AMUR TIGER - the largest of the tiger subspecies, males can be as long as a station wagon. These tigers also have the palest orange coat and the fewest stripes.

BENGAL OR INDIAN TIGER - This is the most common subspecies of tiger.

INDOCHINESE TIGER - These tigers are about 20% smaller and are darker than Bengal tigers.

MALAYAN TIGER - This subspecies was proved to be a "true subspecies", living in Thailand and Malaysia in 2004. A group from the U.S. National Cancer Institute, the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, studied the tiger and discovered the new classification. The Malayan tiger is one of the smallest subspecies of tigers, along with the Sumatran tiger.

SOUTH CHINA TIGER - These tigers are slightly smaller than the Indochinese subspecies. In the 1950s the Chinese government ordered that these tigers be destroyed because they were viewed as pests. Today, there are less than 30 South China tigers left in the wild. Thankfully, the Chinese have taken steps toward a plan to protect the remaining South China tigers.

SUMATRAN TIGER - Even though the Sumatran is one of the smallest tiger subspecies, it still is a pretty big cat and is the length of a school cafeteria table!

Creature Of The Month-The Pinta Island Tortoise

The Pinta Island Tortoise has been labeled the rarest creature in the world!! In fact his hard shelled turtle is more then just rare, he is unique. Being the only one remaining alive, he remains the sole survivor of the even diminishing species of Great Galapagos tortoises.

The only one Pinta Island tortoise (Geochelone elephantopus abingdoni), is a male known by his keepers as Lonesome George. George is estimated to be 60–90 years of age, and is in good health. And when he dies the Pinta tortoises will be extinct:(

Researchers are so desperate to find a female of the species that they are offering $10,000 to anyone who comes forward to offer a chance at saving the Pinta Island tortoise.

Green Recipe : Aromatherapy Air Freshener

Possibly the easiest way to make your own aromatherapy air freshener is to use some of your garden flowers and garden herbs. If you already grow lavender, rose or rosemary, or other strongly scented plants, it is very easy to create your own pot-pourris for home use.
Lavender can be dried, put into a cloth bag and then hung. Stir the contents to release the fragrance.

Just dry selected leaves and flowers in large paper bags. Shake and turn them frequently until dried.
Place them in shallow basketwork bowls for gentle room freshening and scenting.
