Kenneth Douglas Stewart Anderson (8 March 1910 – 30 August 1974) was an Indian-born, British writer and hunter who wrote books about his adventures in the jungles of South India. Anderson gives insights into the people of the Indian jungles of his time, with woods full of wildlife and local inhabitants having to contend with poor quality roads, communication and health facilities. His books delve into the habits of the jungle tribes, their survival skills, and their day-to-day lives. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message

Kazimierz Nowak was a Polish traveler, correspondent, reporter and photographer.

Voortrekker was the elder of an inspiringly resilient herd of elephant bulls known as desert elephants. These mammals are not a unique species. What makes them special is their ability to adapt to the harsh climate through learnt behaviour. Their survival is not through genetic adaptation, but through a passing on of knowledge. During the 1980s they were driven out from their natural habitat and into the desert due to human expansion. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message

A zombie is a mythological undead corporeal revenant created through the reanimation of a corpse. Zombies are most commonly found in horror and fantasy genre works. The term comes from Haitian folklore, in which a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods, most commonly magic like voodoo. Modern media depictions of the reanimation of the dead often do not involve magic but rather science fictional methods such as carriers, radiation, mental diseases, vectors, pathogens, parasites, scientific accidents, etc --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message

Vitus Bering was an explorer who proved that Asia and North America are not joined by land. In 1728 Bering sailed from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean through a narrow passage that now bears his name—the Bering Strait. On a second voyage, Bering explored Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. On July 13, 1728, Bering sailed from the Kamchatka Peninsula in Siberia, eastern Russia. In August his ship passed through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean. Bering concluded that North America was not joined to Asia. Before he could explore further, bad weather forced him to return to Russia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message

A coalition of lions sounds like a strategic, political alliance. And it is, sort of. If you’re imagining polite parliamentary debates, though, you’re off the mark. A lion coalition is simply a group of two or more (and occasionally up to seven) male lions who have “teamed up.” These males are often brothers, half-brothers, or cousins who grew up in the same pride. Occasionally, non-related males will form a coalition. Whether related by blood or not, these males form strong bonds with one another. Who were the Mapogo lions? The Mapogo lions were a band of (mostly) brothers who ruled the Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa with an iron paw. (The oldest member, Makulu, came from a different pride.) The Mapogo coalition became famous for their brutal and ruthless tactics. After leaving their pride in 2006, they quickly took over new territory and weren’t afraid to fight. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message

Children's Blizzard hit the U.S. plains states on January 12, 1888. The blizzard came unexpectedly on a relatively warm day, and many people were caught unaware, including children in one-room schoolhouses. What made the storm so deadly was the timing (during work and school hours), the suddenness of the storm, and the brief spell of warmer weather that preceded it. In addition, the very strong wind fields behind the cold front and the powdery nature of the snow reduced visibilities on the open plains to zero. People ventured from the safety of their homes to do chores, go to town, attend school, or simply enjoy the relative warmth of the day. As a result, thousands of people—including many schoolchildren—got caught in the blizzard. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/juliusmanuel/message
