Navajo Pottery
The Navajo Indians, being a semi-nomadic tribe did not develop the art of pottery making until very recent times. Navajo vessels were traditionally heavy and very plain, made primarily for temporary use in water storage and for drums. Navajo pottery vases were tall and almost straight walled except for a light curve. Fired at low temperatures, they were not suitable for holding water and so were coated inside and out with a thick layer of pinon pitch.

The variable oystercatcher (Haematopus unicolor, torea or toreapango) is found on rocky and sandy beaches. It is rare â there were around 3,500 birds in 1994, and they are found only in New Zealand.
Also known as the black oystercatcher, it varies from black and white to pure black, which is more common further south. It has a red bill and red-orange eye-ring, and pink legs. Larger than the pied oystercatcher, it measures 48 centimetres and weighs 725 grams.

Los lĂ©mures son unos primates estrepsirrinos endĂ©micos de la isla de Madagascar. Reciben su nombre por los lĂ©mures, fantasmas o espĂritus de la mitologĂa romana, debido a las estrepitosas vocalizaciones que emiten, sus ojos brillantes y los hĂĄbitos nocturnos de algunas de sus especies. Aunque a menudo se les confunda con primates ancestrales, los primates antropoides (monos, hominoides y seres humanos) no evolucionaron de los lĂ©mures, aunque comparten rasgos morfolĂłgicos y de comportamiento con primates basales.
