Tanda dam is a medium sized man-made dam to supply water and electricity to the region. The area was closed off by the NWFP Wildlife Department to captive breed rare and extinct animals within the province. in the scrub forest there are Nilgai or Blue Bulls, Chinkara gazelles and Hog Deer while on the slopes there are urial - the latter being the only one out of the 4 to be found in the wild state in NWFP. Birds found here include grey partridges, chukor, see see, black partridges, doves, larks and other small birds.



Borrego Springs, California
extinct animal
Image by Harry Pherson
Northeast of San Diego County California is a 600,000 acre area called the Anza-Borrego. Here is the Desert State Park and a small village called Borrego Springs.

Here you will find something very unusual....here be dragons and dinosaurs and other long extinct animals. These are sculptures created by Ricardo A. Breceda ( ricardoabreceda.com ) who was inspired by his daughters enthusiasm over dinosaurs. Check out his web site for more information.

This photo is one of Ricardo's creations which is a 350' Sand Serpent. It is laid out so a road runs through it.
The photo was taken around 10:00 pm with a full moon casting enough light to illuminate the foreground and silhouette the serpent's head.
