Facinating Cratures
I've always been facinated by the wonders of nature and all the peculiar creatures that inhabit this earth. There are so many animals that are still unknown and new species are discovered every day. Currently, more than 1.8 million species of animals have been given scientific names and the number keeps increasing. The actual number of species are probably many times that number and thus I'm looking forward to getting even more facinated in the years to come.
