LOVE FOR THE SQUIRRELS....







The reason squirrels chewing on things is because they have incisors — front teeth — that are always growing. If they don’t chew on something, their teeth are going to grow into their lower jaw and skull. To avoid that, squirrels will chew on anything that helps wear down their teeth.

Squirrels have an important ecological role, especially in forest ecosystems. Their biggest contribution to the forest is in shaping plant composition. They have a peculiar habit of taking seeds, which are their main source of nutrients, and burying them. They bury them throughout the environment, and often, when they go back and look for them, they forget where they are.

When that happens, they are effectively planting seeds. Over time, this behavior, called caching, changes the composition of a forest. They will expand forests and change the types of trees that are there.

Their theeth never stop growing. They chew any things which they find near them, including pen's and pencils. They can run up to 20 miles per hour.

Calvim Bridge Calvim Bridge is built on a tragic story. 4 schoolgirls and two adults died while crossing the river in Feb 2012 and that is when this bridge was commissioned. The Plaque gives the names, dates of birth and photos of all these people and the Calvim bridge is dedicated to them. But for this story, this would be just another steel and cement structure connecting the two villages across a river. To me, this was another great example of remembering the locals who lost their lives in an accident. This is what makes Goa special. I was told that you get lovely Samosas in the evening across the bridge and it is this Samosawala who drives the maximum traffic on the bridge. What bridges can do – feed hungry souls every evening with some tasty samosas?

ANT CIVILIZATION...   Have you ever stepped on an ant hill, destroying it? Mostly everyone has, either on accident or on purpose. Have you ever stayed after the destruction to watch the ant's reaction? I am sure some people have. What you would see if you were to stay is the undeterred desire of the ant to protect, save, and rebuild their society. They have this desire in spite of the inevitable demise of their colony.                          Humans also have the desire to protect, save, and rebuild their society if needed. We do this too, with the knowledge of the inevitable end of the universe and our existence in it. Most do not know that ants, like humans are highly social. Anyone who has had the benefit of owning an ant farm will know this. They work in a highly structured society where everyone has a place and does their job. Here's a fun fact about Ants:- --  When the queen of the colo...
