I'm Mobius Children's Marine Life Books discussion

We live in an age where billions of human beings call planet Earth home and our numbers keep growing.
Our civilizations keep expanding, pushing many wild species to the brink of extinction. Now, I freely admit that I find some creatures disgusting. Fleas and ticks, for instance, they could go, and of course, bed bugs. No one wants bed bugs around! But, I happen to like snakes and spiders, while many find them repulsive. Sharks and crocodiles give some folks nightmares, others find them fascinating. Today, we are the dominate species living on a planet made tiny by our enormous numbers. Intelligent enough to create cell phones capable of communicating with satellites, but then, ignorant enough to think that burying millions of tons of garbage will make it magically disappear.

Attitude: how we think or feel about something, is all that stands between the world we have and the world we wish was. I never knew, Walt Disney, except that he was the man who created, Mickey Mouse and a host of other silly characters, but growing up with those characters changed my attitude toward the different life forms around me. Animals are not simply ‘dumb beasts’ put here for our pleasure. We share common traits with every creature on Earth. All life is important in its own way and only the very ignorant are incapable of seeing the beautiful tapestry that makes our planet, and our lives, unique among the quadrillions of other planets circling the trillions of stars in an extremely vast universe that we inhabit for only a brief moment in time.

I hope that by reading, I’m Mobius, I change your attitude about one of the most amazing animals to ever exist in our wonderous oceans. Perhaps, one day, your new attitude will be enough to save them from the brink of extinction.
