Monarch Butterfly
This week, I won't just be talking about a poached animal but a small one that most might not think of, the Monarch butterfly. This little is so fascinating i didn't even realize it all this time. Although I usually talk about poached animals this week I am going to change it up. Monarch butterflies are so beautiful. They migrate every year to the mexican forests from he US and Canada. Their lifespan is is 4-5 weeks, once they reach adulthood. This little less than half a gram guy is nearly threatened. Their population has dropped and it is lower than it has been in the past 20 years. Our current climate change is killing them and our growing use of herbicides and other plant killers and sprays. Donate here to the WWF here to help the butterflies and other animals losing their homes and lives: https://support.worldwildlife.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=main_onetime_2013&s_src=AWE1401GD914
