		<description><![CDATA[Audubon's Elephant gives a goodover­all feel of what Audubon was like. It brings to life his strug­gle in get­ting his work accepted by ornithol­o­gists, his art recog­nised for its qual­ity, and finally sub­scrip­tions for his book. Duff Hart-Davis’s research and objec­tive com­pi­la­tion leaves lit­tle desire to read another biog­ra­phy of Audubon. In con­clu­sion, if you were to read one book about Audubon, I sug­gest it be this one.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“You see, the ‘cheerleader effect’ is a situation in which not-so-hot, or awesome, people who do not appear hot as individuals, seem hot when in a group. This is very common among cheerleaders. Hence the name — the cheerleader effect.” Elephants are victims of the Cheerleader Effect. When spotted solo they don’t make for a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Forest Owlet should not be made a state bird because it is hardly ever seen. A state bird that is invisible to the people does little good to the state or to itself. It is alleged that there are only 250 individuals of the specie remaining. The bird is extremely rare. For Gods sake! [...]]]></description>

The angle of view of the picture is such that it encompasses the entire long-side of the lake. To emphasize the length of Tso Moriri, the original image is a staggering 125 inches (10 feet) long.
