![]() ![]() The Ultimate Fate of the UniverseA number of theories have been proposed regarding the ultimate fate of the universe. Some, like the Big Crunch and the Big Rip, suggest the universe will come to an end, while others conclude that it will exist for an infinite period of time. Most cosmologists agree that the universe's average density, the rate at which it expands, and the physical properties of the mass and energy in the universe will determine its ultimate fate. What is the difference between an open universe and a closed one? More... Discuss |

In Memory of Giza
I always feel bad for these lions though. It is such a small habitat for such large creatures. Cool shots though
Texas Sweetie, I am so sorry about your Giza. Pets truly are like a member of the family.
Thanks for the visit and comment.
Suzie, I thought the same thing until we heard the facts about the habitat. The lions actually love it there. It's a controlled environment with just the right humidity and it's sound proof. They only hear the sound of the waterfall. The lions are switched out periodically with other lions. Basically, they just lay around and eat.
Here kitty, kitty!
