CATS IN SEASON A female cat can be in season five times a year. It is only during these periods, which last about five days  each, that the cat is fertile. Her mating call is a shrill caterwauling.

TREE-FROGS Tree-frogs are found in Europe, North and South America, New Guinea, North Africa, and warm parts of Asia. They have small sticky dics on the tops of their fingers and toes which help them cling to the branches of trees. The best-known European tree-frog is less than two inches long. Its Latin name is Hyla arborea. Its colour is usually bright green. But tree-frogs can change colour even as you watch them.  They can become yellow, brown or black.

Its short legs were almost incapable of supporting the weight of the fat, round body (about the size of a swan’s), and the ridiculously inadequate, stubby wings were of no use for flying. Within 180 years of its discovery by the Portuguese, the dodo was extinct. Over the intervening years several were brought to Europe alive, and one was to be seen in London in 1638. By 1680 the dodo had succumbed. With the help of drawings and by t...
