Melanistic individuals have been reported from India and Pakistan. These cats prefer tall grass, thick bush, riverine swamps, and reed beds. There are few records from dense jungle. Jungle Cats are sometimes found around man-made fish ponds, reservoirs, and landscapes irrigated by sprinklers. They may also occur in drier, open forests and even sandhill desert and steppe habitats. They are rarely found above 1000 m elevation.</p> <p>Jungle Cats feed mainly on small mammals (they occasionally take larger prey, such as Chital fawns). Birds are also a significant component of the diet, followed by frogs, lizards, snakes, insects, fish, and turtle eggs.  Jungle Cats are stalk-and-ambush hunters. Most prey are captured on the ground, but Jungle Cats are able to climb and leap well. Although mainly nocturnal, Jungle Cats are often seen hunting at dawn and dusk.</p> <p>The Jungle Cat thrives in agricultural landscapes and in many parts of its range is the most common felid, although in some areas these cats have been extensively hunted for their pelts.</p> <p>(via: <a href="http://eol.org/pages/328671/overview">Encyclopedia of Life</a>)                 </p> <p>(photo: Rambo the Jungle Cat; via Big Cat Rescue)</p> </blockquote>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/44150987420http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/44150987420Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:13:23 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d08dcf58469946d4eca7362fa84014d7/tumblr_miw0vjjwOh1r7ydzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>GO TO </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.PolarBearSOS.org&h=MAQE2M6qi&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.PolarBearSOS.org">www.PolarBearSOS.org</a></a><span> </span><br/><span>and send your message to the Eurpean Commission to help stop the trade in polar bear parts</span><br/><br/><span>Read more about International Polar Bear protecition:</span><a href="http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/awetzler/on_international_polar_bear_da.html" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><a href="http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/awetzler/on_international_polar_bear_da.html">http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/awetzler/on_international_polar_bear_da.html</a></a></p>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/44145945550http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/44145945550Wed, 27 Feb 2013 11:38:07 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/88eddc0367a3018fbc19174a34ef4838/tumblr_mh75yyk1Un1qfvu36o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nrdc.tumblr.com/post/41458036103/pebble-mine-the-worst-idea-ever-read-more-from">nrdc</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><span class="userContent">Pebble Mine: The Worst Idea Ever</span></strong></p> <p><span class="userContent">Read more from Taryn Kiekow’s <a href="http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/tkiekow/pebble_mine_the_worst_idea_eve.html" title="Blog">Blog</a>.</span></p> <p><span class="userContent"><br/><br/></span></p> </blockquote>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/43599024252http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/43599024252Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:35:43 -0500econatureanimalanimalsEnvironmenteco-friendlypebble minestop the pebble minecharity<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1675ea5019a3acf4dc042e5fb01dbddc/tumblr_mi2crv1fUY1r7ydzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>4 Crafty Valentine’s Gift Ideas That Will Help Save the Planet</span><span><br/><br/>Read more: <a href="http://www.care2.com/causes/4-crafty-valentines-gift-ideas-that-will-help-save-the-planet.html#ixzz2KbiL8HhY"><a href="http://www.care2.com/causes/4-crafty-valentines-gift-ideas-that-will-help-save-the-planet.html#ixzz2KbiL8HhY">http://www.care2.com/causes/4-crafty-valentines-gift-ideas-that-will-help-save-the-planet.html#ixzz2KbiL8HhY</a></a></span></p>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42846624252http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42846624252Mon, 11 Feb 2013 11:07:07 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/916c86de1e77c003ec95bebca9ef3eb5/tumblr_mhrtrqkK921r7ydzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="https://www.nrdcgreengifts.org/valentines">https://www.nrdcgreengifts.org/valentines</a></p>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42386406273http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42386406273Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:40:00 -0500valentinevalentine's dayvalentines dayvdayecogreengiftsgreengiftgiftheartslovewildlifecharitysavenrdceco-friendly<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b5af7ec0d64a979de6261a1d936dff56/tumblr_mhphedJx871r7ydzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>For only $10 each, you can send these sweet E-Valentines from NRDC that help save wildlife while bringing joy to everyone on your list. </span><span>This gift will help protect healthy populations of gray wolves across Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. </span><a href="http://www.nrdcgreengifts.org/valentines">www.nrdcgreengifts.org/valentines</a></p>http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42282414917http://nrdcbiogems.tumblr.com/post/42282414917Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:18:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/24de3404fcadc116c3ae466c955bb2f8/tumblr_mf366sOCPa1r7ydzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>We think our Green Gifts make pretty nifty stocking stuffers!
