IN LOVE |
 |
We've
all heard the song: "Love is in the air ...everywhere
I look around", but if we take a look at the wider
world around us, one might see that we humans are not
the only ones showing "love" at this time of
year.
Dozens
of animals are mating in February or have already started.
Red-tailed Hawks, squirrels, beavers and more. >
