Butterfly Farming in Kenya: The Untapped Potential

Kenya is home to a thriving butterfly farming industry. The industry began in the 1990s as a way to generate income and conserve the country’s forests.

Blue Birds of Happiness

Blue is an extra-fun color for birds to be, because, as you may have heard, it is not created by a pigment. Blue feathers (and the blue scales on butterfly wings, and the blue irises of some humans) are structural, meaning that the color is created by the physical properties of the living tissue, which are arranged in such a way that they reflect the short wavelengths of blue light. Often this is paired with a dark pigment which absorbs other colors of light and makes the blue 'pop'. Look at all the tints and shades they can make!

JEREMY RENNER for INCREDIBLE ANIMAL JOURNEYS ph. Eric Michael Roy

Disney has announced that Jeremy Renner will narrate an upcoming National Geographic series, “Incredible Animal Journeys”.

According to the show’s official description, we might think we are the world’s greatest explorers, but we’re not. Every day, millions of animals migrate across the planet using routes passed down by generations.  “Incredible Animal Journeys” puts viewers in the action as they soar, fly and swim from the Antarctic to the African Savanna and the Pacific Ocean to Alaska. Join the protective humpback mom shepherding her newborn calf, tiny dung beetle, monarch butterfly, determined barn swallow who never gives up, and many more species.
