My inspiration behind this photo is that I was on the way to school and the sun was rising. I also thought it was pretty because the sky looked like a painting and the windshield had raindrops on it and added to the affect.

CAPTION At malesuada nisl felis sit amet dolor. Duis ultrices semper lorem nisl felis sit. At malesuada nisl felis sit amet dolor nisl felis.

The Malaysian flight is one of the biggest mysteries that has gone unsolved. At 12:51 AM the plane took off. The last words that came off that flight was " Good Night, Malaysian Three Seven Zero" Before taking off and reaching a cruising altitude of 35,000 ft ( 10,700 m). The plane eventually went off course across the sea. The backup was turned off so nobody came for the plane. On march 8, 2014, flight 370 was declared missing. After 3 days they conducted a wide search of where they were last seen.

These are all the passengers that were on flight 370 that are still not found.

After 3 years of searching, pieces of the plane were started to show up in fishing lines, islands , and on beaches. 19 pieces of the plane were found in total and are being held in a museum as evidence. There were no signs of life anywhere along the sea of where the wreckage was found. The case gone cold since then but is open for new leads by the loved ones of the missing passengers. There are theories saying that the plane forgot to refuel before it took off and caused it to lose control and fall into the sea. Others say it was a russian missile, leaving only pieces of the plane and no human life.

Black Bears are omnivores because they eat both plants and meat. A Florida Black Bears diet varies, but usually consists of 80% plants, 15% insects, and 5% animal matter. Some of their favorite foods are fruits, nuts, honey and other plant parts. Black bear cubs weigh less than one pound at birth. they gain 20 to 30 pounds in three months. An excellent swimmer, black bears can paddle at least a mile and a half in freshwater. A bear's claws can grow as long as a whiteboard eraser. Overall they wouldn't make great pets and most likely never be a pet due to the fact that they cannot be domesticated. They are unique and cute creatures.

The polar bear is a hypercarnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, enocompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding seas and surrounding land masses, this includes the most northern regions of North America and Eurasia. Unlike other bear species, Polar Bears are almost exclusively meat eaters which makes them carnivores. Polar Bears feed Primarily on ringed seals, but will also eat bearded seals, harp seals, hooded and harbor seals, when available. Larger prey species such as walrus, narwhal and beluga are occasionally hunted. Polar bears will readily scavenge on marine mammal carcasses.
