Ah, to be young forever, wouldn’t it be nice? Well actually, we’re not so sure about that. It’s fun being eighteen…but life gets much more enjoyable once you know a thing or two about life, which can only happen in your twenties. However, there’s one area where youth definitely win – vitality! When you hit your late twenties and into your thirties, it becomes a little more difficult to stay in your prime. So does that mean you have to give up on youthful exuberance? No way. But it won’t come quite as easily anymore.
When you’re young, you can eat and drink whatever you’d like, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Not so when you’re a full-blown adult. Then, you have to be careful not to drink too much alcohol and have too many takeout meals during the week. Learn the art of moderation, and of cooking, too. After a month of healthy eating and cutting down on alcohol, you’ll notice that you have much more energy than before. You can’t have everything in life, so what will it be: energy or convenience?
There’s no getting around it: if you want to look and feel your best, then you need to be working up a sweat a few times a week. And you’ll need to get serious about it, too. Start by working out which will be the best exercises for your needs, and use things like a genuine tongkat ali extract to help give your workouts an additional boost. Your time is going to be limited, so you won’t be able just to hit the gym for an hour every week or so. Make it part of your schedule, get additional help, and you’ll look your best in no time.
Remember back in the day, when you could jump out of bed after just a few hours sleep? Those days are long gone, I’m afraid. You’re not going to be able to live life to the full if you’re not getting a full night of rest. If you’re having trouble sleeping, then take a look at your sleeping routine. It’s possible that you’re just spending too much time in front of a screen in the two hours before you hit the hay. Get a sleeping schedule that works for you, and you’ll have much more energy.
It’s all good and well feeling young, but what about your looks? Working out is a good start, but to keep that youthful glow, develop a skin regime. And stay out of the sun, too – nothing ages you like those harmful rays!
Finally, remember youth is all about attitude! Avoid becoming cynical. As you get older, you’ll learn that there’s plenty of evil in the world, but there’s much more good. Don’t forget it, and you’ll have a positive outlook on life. It’s what the world needs!

While most people have never heard of them, Jon Favreau the director of Disney’s “The Jungle Book” is one of those people who just think pangolins are the coolest critters out there. Jon even included one in the movie…you’ll meet him not long after you meet Baloo, & provide comic relief during a particular scene in the movie. During my recent trip to L.A. for the #JungleBookEvent, we were educated about the critically endangered Pangolin. Jeffrey Flocken, who is the North American Regional Director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), shared details about this rarely heard of animal, why they are so endangered, & how we can help to conserve & protect this creature from extinction.

What is a Pangolin?
“Pangolins are very little known and incredibly awesome animals…They are a mammal, unique to their taxonomy branch, and there is no close relative… they are under a tremendous amount of pressure, experiencing extinction throughout its range and it’s because it’s being captured for the wildlife trade, in most cases illegally, although still legally in many cases.”
Why are they so critically endangered?
Their meat is considered a delicacy throughout Asia, particularly in China. Their scales are used for various things…they are ground up and used in traditional Asian medicines & can also be found in belts & boots.
6 Facts you need to know!
There are eight different species of Pangolins. Four in Asia and Four in Africa
Pangolins are so endangered, they are very likely to become extinct in our lifetime unless we do something to prevent it.
Pangolins are solitary, nocturnal animals…so not much is known about them or how many are truly left in the wild.
There has never been a successful breeding program in captivity.
It’s almost impossible to keep them alive once they’ve been taken from the wild.
The only zoo in North America to currently house a pangolin is the San Diego Zoo.

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is working to try to set up protection so that the animals can no longer be traded legally, which will also help stop the illegal trade. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) issued their 90 day finding on the pangolin petition on March 16th. IFAW got a positive finding, which means it will go through the full process to determine if pangolins warrant “Endangered” protection. IFAW is asking for the public to sign a petition in support of protecting the pangolins. While we wait for this petition, please check out this page for more information on protecting the pangolins.
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Mr. Pangolin in Disney’s The Jungle Book, out TODAY!

PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “WILD KRATTS: SHARK-TASTIC” on DVD April 14. “SHARK-TASTIC” includes four episodes of the PBS KIDS hit series WILD KRATTS, two of which are bonus episodes!
From learning about the favorite prey of great white sharks, to gaining insight into how dolphins communicate, kids will be exposed to fascinating facts about sharks and other sea creatures in this fun-filled DVD. Animals highlighted in these four stories include a hawksbill turtle, dolphins, a tiger shark, a giant pacific octopus, great white sharks, a bowhead whale, a manta ray and many more.
In each episode of WILD KRATTS, creature teachers Chris and Martin Kratt take kids and their families along on extraordinary animal-powered adventures. The show transforms the Kratt Brothers, creators of the award-winning KRATTS’ CREATURES and Emmy-winning ZOBOOMAFOO, into animated versions of themselves, allowing the real-life zoologists to visit wild animals in their little-seen habitats and showcase key science concepts along the way. WILD KRATTS airs weekdays on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
“WILD KRATTS: SHARK-TASTIC” will be available on DVD April 14, 2015. The DVD run time is approximately 60 minutes and its SRP is $12.99.
The episodes included on this DVD are listed below.
“Octopus Wildkratticus”
When Martin accidentally knocks the creature power suits into a deep Arctic trench, Aviva takes the brothers to search for them in her brand-new octopod submarine. But after the gang encounters what seems to be a very strange new species of underwater octopus, they figure out that something has gone very wrong in the deep sea. In order to set things right, the Wild Kratts team must employ all the amazing superpowers that an octopus has for survival, including ink defense, jet propulsion, tentacle regeneration, and camouflage.
“Tortuga Tune Up”
Aviva loves the Tortuga design, but feels there’s something missing. Martin and Chris realize it can’t really swim, so they decide to get some bio inspiration for this feature by exploring the world of the sea turtles.
BONUS ADVENTURES!
“Speaking Dolphinese”
The Wild Kratts team is on a mission to decode the secret language of the dolphin with one of Aviva’s new inventions, but a hungry great white shark puts their new animal friends in harm’s way.
“Stuck on Sharks”
Martin and Chris are on a mission to uncover the secret life of the mysterious great white shark. They use Aviva’s incredible remora rocketsub to “stick with” a female shark and soon learn that the giant predator actually has lots of challenges to contend with and that she could help them discover something that no one has ever seen before – the birth of great white shark pups. But when Gourmand sniffs around looking for ingredients for his shark fin soup recipe, the Wild Kratts team must help rescue their new friend.
