The ocean is so amazing and fascinating, and we need to respect it and it’s  inhabitants.

All drains on the road lead straight to the ocean - so stop throwing shit down them. Stop putting our cigarettes on the ground, that shit gets washed down those drains.

Also, Mermaids.

The ocean terrifies me in a respect demanding kind of way.

Different Types of Friends everyone should have

In general, friends form a crucial part of your life. Every human being is a social creature and there are times when your family will not satisfy your needs for relationships. Ensure that you have friends who are close in your life. There are different types of friends that everybody should have.

§  The opposite. People should have friends who challenge them for example when they think that they have strong views, they find that even their friends do too. Such friends will question your beliefs which force you to explore your motives, thoughts and attitude. In order to get along with such friends, you must avoid being offensive as you give your opinion.

 

§  The mirror. These are friends who share your beliefs and interests. It is not a surprise that you even watch similar movies and trade clothes and books because you have similar interests. Such friends will update you regarding the latest news. Your conversations are likely to be full of “you too”. However, it will never get over bearing or monotonous.

Amazing Slugs, Cannibal Snails

High in the mists that shroud Mount Kaputar, near Narrabri in north-western NSW, scientists have discovered a secret world. By day it is an isolated pocket of snow gums, wrapped in straggling native vines. People tend to focus on the cute and cuddly bird and mammal species like koalas. But these little invertebrates drive whole ecosystems. 

But on rainy nights, it is the domain of giant, fluorescent pink slugs - up to 20 centimetres long - and carnivorous, cannibal land snails that roam the mountaintop in search of their vegetarian victims.

”It’s just one of those magical places, especially when you are up there on a cool, misty morning,” said Michael Murphy, a national parks ranger for 20 years, whose beat covers the mountain top.

”It’s a tiny island of alpine forest, hundreds of kilometres away from anything else like it. The slugs, for example, are buried in the leaf mould during the day, but sometimes at night they come out in their hundreds and feed off the mould and moss on the trees. They are amazing, unreal-looking creatures.”
