haha I have seen that vid before Tozie.  I would have had a little more of a reaction than that guy did. 

So sad to see such a beauteous creature dying off.

So sad that they are close to extinction like so very many other creatures in the last 100 yrs.  

I didn't watch the video, my net is acting like a jerk & keeps falling out on me. Since I live in the country and quite a good many miles from Abilene I use a Sprint wifi mobile hotspot (still much faster than dial up on a land line) & and it isn't always stable. Videos take quite awhile to load, but today it is impossible to get them to complete.  

Just hope they can recover from the loses with the newest little ones from last yr.
