Polar Bear

| at 3:33 PM



In general I like all animals, but I must say that one of my favorites is the Polar Bear (also called White Bear, Nannuk, Polar Bear), the characteristics that I like about him is he is beautiful, strong, extremely maternal and very playful.
Found naturally in the Arctic Circle. Its habitat is floating ice islands and coasts. Its lifespan is 20 to 25 years. Its conservation status is Vulnerable. Furthermore, in regard to measurements, her height is 1.60 meters on the cross; its length is 1.70 to 2.50 meters and weight from 400 to 500 kilograms.
It is the largest carnivore, white and with adaptations to aquatic life. It has a thick skin, hair and hollow subcutaneous fat layer that protects against the cold wind and water. With this fat can sleep afloat. The polar bear has very developed sense of smell and sight. Reproduction is viviparous. The gestation is from 195 to 265 days and the litter is from 1 to 3 pups, which remain near the mother until 28 months. The pups are born weighing approximately 600 grams. The sexual maturity reaches between 5 and 6 years. Despite being carnivorous, feeding on fish and seals, marine mammal carrion, small mammals such as deer and fish, also complemented with vegetation and some fruit. The polar bear is generally solitary. This species has always been hunted by the inhabitants of the Arctic for their fur and meat. Currently, global warming and, consequently, the melting polar have threatened the future of polar bear.

My country Chile

| at 10:13 AM


Ok, this time I'll tell you about my country.
I was born and live in Chile.
This, they say, that is the last country in the world, located in South America along with Argentina and Peru, which are our neighboring countries.Throughout our territory along the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Andes to the east. I like a lot of my country; we have a great diversity of climate that makes us unique. Taking from the world's driest desert (Atacama Desert) in the north of the country, to lakes and ice in the South.
I am proud to be Chilean much. It's a beautiful country in many ways and although, like other countries, we have gone through major problems, both political and social, has always gone ahead. Chile is a country that stands out internationally for its vast landscapes and, on the other hand, by the Nobel prizes received by two great poets, such as Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda.
However, what gives me great pride is the issue of 11 September 1973, date on which the military coup occurred. Besides, I'm not proud of the fact that Chileans consider us thieves internationally (mainly in Europe), as this bad reputation that we have created a few compatriots, we closed the door on several occasions.

Finally, I only need to highlight the most important day of the year for all Chileans. On September 18th, the day on which the birthday of our country (since 1910). This date is celebrated with “bells and whistles” and is highly anticipated, both for their meals, typical dances and games.

The TranSantiago

| at 5:21 PM


TranSantiago is the public transport system that is used in the metropolitan region of Chile, implemented a few years ago and not a very good insertion. This system consists of the bus service and Metro and is a program promoted by the Government of Chile.

Now being implemented new measures to control the chaos that has caused this in the town of Santiago, however not all aspects of this system are negative

The coverage of public transport has improved decreasing the number of transfers, lowering waiting times and increasing the supply routes.

This transport system is better than the previous one mainly in the form of payment, since this is not done with coins, otherwise than through a card Bip. On the other hand this has caused a decrease in burglaries bus drivers.

I usually use public transportation and consider him a good project because it allowed me to organize my travel time.

For the future exchange a greater diversity of routes in each community area, as currently exist very few.

Ok, I hope this system will continue to grow and we continue to educate citizens, because it allowed largely educating people in a community sense.

Bye bye
