Gallery: reindeer, moose, elk, caribou

Caribou and reindeer are the same species of deer, rangifer tarandus. Reindeer are mainly domesticated, and are found in Europe, Russia and parts of Asia. Caribou are found in the wilds of high-latitude North America. The distinct antlers of caribou and reindeer grow straight up, and have two separate groups of points.

Moose and elk are also members of the deer family. But their antlers tend to be more cup-shaped. American moose are essentially the same creatures as European elk. But American elk are smaller than both animals, and are also known as wapiti.

    I Wonder What Galileo Is Doing Tonight….....

    I find it irresistible not to at least take a moment to wonder aloud what Galileo is doing tonight. My hope would be that the great man is resting in peace and that his head is NOT spinning in his grave. How, now, can Galileo possibly find peace when so many top-rank scientists — who are NOT members of the IPCC — refuse to speak out clearly regarding whatsoever they believe to be true about the distinctly human predicament presented to humanity in our time by certain unbridled “overgrowth” activities of the human species that loom ominously and threaten to engulf the planetary home God has blessed us to inhabit?

    Where are more leaders like Al Gore who are willing to support the good science of climate change that is being presented in the solid scientific observations and consensually validated empirical data from Dr. James Hansen, Dr. R.K. Pachauri and the IPCC?

    Perhaps there is something in the great work of Al Gore, Jim Hansen and the 2000 scientists in the IPCC that will give Galileo a moment of peace.

    What would the world we inhabit be like if scientists like Galileo had adopted a code of silence or selectively mined data or manufactured controversy or passed along disinformation….. contriving only ‘scientific’ evidence which was politically convenient, religiously tolerated, economically expedient, and socially correct?
