3 Animal videos

In this video we can see how all the animals are moving their skin, this process is called ecdysis, it is a slow process in which the animals are released from their outer cuticle to be able to grow.

This process does not hurt them or cause them harm but if they are left less protected.

In this video we can see an Andean cat caught by tramp cameras, this is the most endangered feline in Chile and America.

The Vizcacha is the main prey of the Andean cat .

The dangers that runs this cat is partly caused by the hunting dogs that circulate in its territory

March 2019

This year upon entering university I have met many people with whom I have quickly created friendships, so far I have shared many moments with them and I have taken a lot of love, our group is called "s3" since some are from s1 and others from s2.
They are always willing to do the ridiculous to have fun, as an example, on a Wednesday we were all dressed in pink as in the movie "Mean Girls".

My cell phone:

My favorite thing is my cell phone, because in this equipment I can find everything I need.
Whit my cell phone I can talk with people that I miss and can't see, also in my cell phone i keep my photos of important memories and i can see them at any tim.

The cell phone allows several functions, you can talk with people by applications, you can find things in internet, take pictures and one thousand things more.
One of the reasons why I like it the most is because I love take pictures and edit them.

I use the cell phone from 11 years old and it has made my life easier, this equipment provides you with tools both to find out things, study and everything you imagine.

My opinions about:

-What is your opinion about inmigration?

I think inmigration should be accepted, because most people come to Chile in search of growth opportunity to have a better life. Many foreigner come to Chile because in his country not have a good economic situation and come to find a job stable.

-What is your opinion about recycling?

I think that the recycling is one of the best ways to help the planet, since today there is a lot of pollution, which generates ever larges climate changes.

In addition, the garbage one could be recycle goes to the ocean,causing the death of marine animals and birds.

-What is your opinion about legalization of abortion in the 3 cases?

I think that the abortion in the 3 cases should be legalize, because each woman decide about her body, especially if she finds herself in a delicate situation like a rape, for a woman or a little girl is extremely difficult have a children of his rapist. Although i believe that abortion should be legal and safe in all cases, since one decides what to do with his life and body.

-What is your opinion about having an exotic pet at home?

I believe that having exotic pets at home is not good, since they are taking them out of their natural abit. This would extremely cruel because they deserve to be free, in addition, many of these animals are abandoned when they grow up, as they are often dangerous ot they simply can not keep them.
