Hello!! I'm sure you were waiting for an other fresh article. Well, you won't have to wait anymore.
In this one I'm going to write about the social websites.
They have a lot of positive aspects but, they also have disadvantages. But I am going to start with the positive ones.
Advantages:
The most important of all the advantages that the social websites have, is the fact that you can be in contact with your friends. You can talk to them, see what they are doing, watch their pictures... You can also meet new people, or reestablish contact with old friens. Some of them also give you the chance to play. By the way, you can know news in websites like Twitter. And to finish with this, they offer you the possibility to share whatever you want.

Those where the positive aspects of these websites but, as with all the things, there are negatives aspects too:
I would start saying that anyone, ANYONE can create a fake profile. So, I recomend to all the people that is starting with the social websites not to accept requests from people they don't know. having said that, the world is full of bad people who are capable of anything. Some people can hack your account and take the control of it adopting your identity. Finnaly I wil talk a little bit about the ciber bullying, that is the use of information technology to repeatedly harm or harass other people in a deliberate manner. And to see how far this can arrive I'll let you this video that will make you think.

Meeting the Clouded Leopard

 Hello friends! Now I am going to write the first article in my blog. I hope you like it as much as I like to write it, here it goes!
I think that everybody has a favourite animal, and I have it too. I like cats in general but the one that caught me since the moment I saw it for the first time on TV is the Clouded leopard. It is a fantastic animal, so agile, so fast and so elegant... but not so abundant. 
Look at the definition that I have taken from the Wikipedia.

The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults.
The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The hair of the Clouded Leopard is ochreous ground colour with some cloud shaped black spots. It weigh around 23 kg. Females vary in head-to-body length from 68.6 to 94 cm, with a tail 61 to 82 cm long. Males are larger at 81 to 108 cm with a tail 74 to 91 cm long. They have large and sharp teeth. 

Clouded leopards can be found from the Himalayan foothills in Nepal and India to Myanmar, Bhutan, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Indochina, and in China south of theYangtze river.
Now I'll give you some other information about this wonderful cat.

Clouded leopards are the most talented climbers among the cats. In captivity, they have been observed to climb down vertical tree trunks head first, and hang on to branches with their hind paws bent around branchings of tree limbs. When jumping down, they keep hanging on to a branch this way until the very last moment. They can easily jump up to 1.2 m high.

Now you know something about this animal I am going to explain the serious problems that threats Clouded leopard's conservation. They are threatened by habitat loss following large-scale deforestation and commercial poaching for the wildlife trade. Skins, claws, and teeth are offered for decoration and clothing, bones and meat as substitute for tiger in traditional Asian medicines and tonics, and live animals for the pet trade. 

A lot of people are doing what is possible to preserve this animal in captivity.
