Quick! The Holy Hand Grenade!

Happy Easter! (via Now this makes me violently happy. - Imgur)

I want all of these!

The phantasmagorical and surreal animal sculptures by Canadian artist Ellen Jewett. Between dream and nightmare, some strange creations born of a symbiosis between organic and mechanical elements, a meeting between fantasy, gothic and steampunk. Some very detailed sculptures in clay on a metal frame.

Love this! Buy local honey!!!

Apparently some vegans are telling people not to eat honey to support bees. STOP. STOP NOW. DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW BEES WORK? Buy honey (local if possible) -> support beekeepers -> support bees. I swear people don’t even think this stuff out.  Beekeepers provide bees with an environment in which they can live, and are encouraged to thrive. Bees then have a big huge giant person who can deal with any threats to the hive.  Yes, honey is a winter food supply for bees, but beekeepers (unless they’re dicks, in which case they’d be shooting themselves in the foot) will NEVER take too much honey from a hive, and will always ensure that bees have enough food. Think about it, you’re not going to starve a source of income/hobby, are you? So now. Support beekeepers. Support bees. buzz.

This is pretty cool!

Dry shampoo is something that everyone should have for those in-case-of-emergency moments, but those found in the store are full of chemicals! The Hippie Homemaker has the ingredients and directions for all natural dry shampoo for both light and dark hair!

God I love this!

Save the tigers!!!

Wild tiger numbers are at an all-time low. We have lost 97% of wild tigers in just over a century. Tigers may be one of the most revered animals, but they are also vulnerable to extinction. As few as 3,200 exist in the wild today.

The largest of all big cats, tigers rely primarily on sight and sound rather than smell. They typically hunt alone and stalk prey. A tiger can consume up to 88 pounds of meat at one time. On average, tigers give birth to 2-3 cubs every 2-2.5 years. If all the cubs in one litter die, a second litter may be produced within 5 months.

Tigers generally gain independence at two years of age and attain sexual maturity at 3-4 years for females and at 4-5 years for males. Juvenile mortality is high however—about half of all cubs do not survive more than two years. Tigers have been known to reach the age of 26 years in the wild.

Across their range, tigers face unrelenting pressure from poaching, retaliatory killings and habitat loss. They are forced to compete for space with dense and often growing human populations.

For the month of March, giraffeinatree will be doing something about it. The tiger (Panthera tigris) is this month’s Animal of the Month. Learn more about this project by clicking here. In the mean time, you can help by donating via Paypal, causevox, fundly, or fundraiser where I have started fundraising campaigns for tiger conservation. If you are otherwise unable to give monetary support at the moment and you would still like to help the cause, you can share the aforementioned links along with this post to any social media site (free). Sharing can do as much—if not more—for the cause as donating, so I encourage you to please go ahead and tell all your friends about it!

All proceeds will go to the Save the Tiger Fund-Panthera partnership conservation program. Learn more about them and what they do with the money they receive here.
