Baby Amur Leopard Cub, World's Rarest Big Cat, Born at Yalta Zoo

Description

Vets were hand-feeding the tiny Amur leopard baby at the Yalta Zoo, as the cub is still too young to open its eyes or even walk on four legs. Only 57 Amur leopards, which are listed as "Critically Endangered," are believed to live in the wild as of 2015. Despite the fact that Amur leopard numbers have roughly doubled since 2007, they are still the species of large felines most vulnerable to extinction.

Satellite ou étoile filante ? Ne vous TROMPEZ PLUS !

Comment différencier une étoile filante un satellite? C'est une erreur qui peut arriver : Vous voyez quelque chose dans le ciel et vous pensez que c'est une étoile filante alors qu'en fait, c'est juste un satellite artificiel. Il y a une astuce pour les distinguer. L'étoile filante est un phénomène très bref qui ne dure qu'une fraction de seconde à quelques secondes pour les plus remarquables. Le satellite lui met plusieurs minutes à traverser la voûte céleste. Et sur une photo, comment faire la différence? Il faut regarder la longueur de la traînée lumineuse. Si la traînée traverse la voûte céleste en entier ou en partie, c'est sûrement un satellite. Si la traînée est courte, localisée dans une zone du ciel, c'est probablement une étoile filante !
