What a great and fascinating conclusion to wonderful series! I've really enjoyed following your adventures and animal interactions around the world. Many thanks, Kirsten!

Hi Kirsten, Behind in my emails, but did want you to know that the last of your series on Celebrating Nature went live today.

Kirsten's Celebration of Nature on Seven Continents series continues, with a post on Antarctica's penguines.

Kirsten Hines continues her celebrating Nature on 7 Continents series with this second installment in exotic Antarctica. Young elephant seals are called ‘weaners’ from the time they’re weaned from their mother’s milk, around a month, until they reach a year old. They’re cute but their warrior training begins young.

Kirsten Hines concludes her "Celebrating Nature on 7 Continents" series with this final installment in Antarctica. We look at the dollar currency of penguins, rocks used in constructing their nests.
