Beleive it or not darling but humans statistics were not so hot before modern medical intervention...
But who would of thought that of such a beautiful animal as a cheetah...thank god we have stopped killing them for their fur...
Yeah i can believe that Abbey. My dad was telling me how when he was a kid in England it was always people dying of "old age" when they really were not that old
It always saddens me to watch nature shows and see young animals killed before reaching maturity. For some reason, the young sea turtle is one that really breaks my heart!
