Up Close and Personal with Cheetahs

(YouTube link)

Filmmaker Boris von Schoenebeck wondered if he would get close enough to the cheetahs of the Serrengeti in Tanzania to film them. He needn’t have worried. These cats are used to vehicles coming through their territory to look at them. And they looked back, taking over his vehicle and even chewing on one of his cameras! You have to wonder what effect all those tourists are having on the cheetah population and on their prey. Are they upsetting the balance of nature, or is the money they spend going to help animal conservation? -via Tastefully Offensive

Being Halloween as much fun as you want, thank goodness it is still not imported in Spain and the Hispanic countries. Media and commercial sectors are pushing in as much as they try. I'm affraid to say that in some years we will be overruled by this anglosaxon holiday but nowadays, we can proudly say that we resist!! This is an american holiday and I think should not kill local celebrations. I feel sorry for all those non saxon countries that are loosing their identities...

I have to say that the Spain picture displayed is totaly unaccurate as the celebration in Gran Canaria is the Carnival, an the end of February, nothing to do with pumpkins.
