Did You Know

• The first time I saw the word Puma on the
  endangered species list, I had wondered what it
  was. I thought I had heard it somewhere else
  before, but I wasnt too sure. Thats how the
  Puma became first on my choice list. I learned
  what endangered animals have to go through to
  survive, but I-nor anyone else-will ever know
  exactly how they feel. Treat animals like you
  might treat yourself-after all, we are animals
  too.
