Hana Yori Dango 花より男子 (2005)

"花より男子" is a j-dorama (Japanese drama/series). the Japanese version of Meteor Garden (流星花园), the Taiwanese version. "花より男子" was aired in 2005. "花より男子 2 (リターンズ） - Return" aired in 2007.

comparing between Japanese n Taiwanese version, i find the Japanese version more interesting. i watched the Taiwanese version years back, n it took me ages and hell lot of effort just to hang on until the last episode. as for the Japanese Version, it was the total opposite. i was actually waiting to watch the next episode every time. 1 episode after another, just can't get enough of it! the story was hilarious n touching in some ways. it is definitely a recommendation! :)

(continued from leopards - part 2, the snow leopards)

these are the main Leopard (Panthera pardus). they weight 60-90 kilograms, making them one of the big cats. they may be good tree climbers, but they cannot get down from a tree headfirst. they do not have ankle flexibility, the only 2 cats that do are the Clouded Leopard and the Margay.

leopards part 2..

(continued from leopards - part 1, the cloud leopards)

the second type is the Snow Leopards (Uncia uncia, Panthera uncia). they weight 35-55 kilograms, making them bigger than Cloud Leopards, but smaller than the main Leopards. the snow leopards' has grayish colored fur coat, which turn white during winter. they have longer tails than the other leopards, to help them maintain balance and serve as warmth cover.

leopards..

seems to be more difficult finding leopards' photographs. i usually started out looking for leopards' but ended up collecting more of cheetahs'. :p

there are different types of leopards. here are some on the Clouded Leopards (Neofelis nebulosa). they weight 11-23 kilograms, making them the smaller cats comparing to the rest of the leopards. they have tan fur coat and irregularly shaped and dark-edged markings. surprisingly they can hang on a tree upside down and usually descent tree-trunks head-first.
