Sea Turtle Cage in Cape Fear

As human population is getting larger and larger, wild animal territory is being squeezed to become smaller and smaller. Sea turtles travel thousands of miles to go back to their birth place to lay eggs. From the statistics, only 1 out of 1000 newly born sea turtles will come back to its birth place. Sea turtle is now an endanger animal on earth. We simply can not allow sea turtle to disappear and we just have to help out.

On 23th July 2010 in the evening, we walked around the beach area at Cape Fear in Bald Head Island. We saw a lot of these cages protecting the sea turtle eggs underneath. The sign next to the cage actually says that it is illegal to even disturb the sea turtle eggs. Violation will result from $100,000 in fine and 1 year maximum jail time. We also saw a red fox running around the beach. We are hoping that the fox would obey the human law not to dig the eggs or do something nasty. Putting the fox in jail would not be a wise thing to do.

Fishing in Cape Fear

We dare not to go fishing because we know that we do not have the required characters to do good job in fishing. On 23rd July 2010, we traveled to our favorite place in North Carolina, Bald Head Island and spent the evening in Cape Fear. We saw this man fishing.

He prepared the fishing rod and the bait carefully. He threw the bait to the ocean skillfully. He got wet and soaked under, sweat a lot above with no complain. He waited for fish to get on hook patiently. If we think about it, all those fine characters are in fact required to be a decent human being to live in this society. Should we all go fishing and learn to be a good person?

Elephant Crossing in NC Zoo

We have seen a lot of interesting road signs related to animals including Duck Crossing, Horse Crossing, Deer Crossing. Those signs along the roads are used to remind vehicle drivers to pay attention to wild animals on the road. It is extremely dangerous for both the animals and motorists to band on each other.

We found this one in the North Carolina Zoo on 3rd April 2010 and we had never come across before, Elephant Crossing. If our city government decides to put up "Elephant Crossing" signs on the roads in the city, would you believe that? You probably don't, however, you may slow down your driving and pay more attention on the road to see if you really can spot an elephant. Then, the trouble of putting up such signs would be worth it.
