Happy Mother's Day from Profugo! Did you know that elephants have the longest gestation period? They are pregnant for 22 months before giving birth to highly intelligent babies. If that's not reason for praise, I don't know what is!

While we look forward to the start of strawberry season here in the states, things are wrapping up in Munnar, a beautiful hill city in Kerala. Munnar has become a hub for strawberry cultivation, attracting tourists to come "pick and pluck" their own juicy berries.

Goat breeds in India have long, pendulous ears to help regulate their body temperatures. Sometimes their ears can reach 25 cm!! Their ears hang low and they do wiggle to and fro!

It is jackfruit season in Wayanad. People climb 10 to 20 feet up in the trees to cut these giant, spiky fruits down. Once opened, the fruits can be enjoyed fresh or cooked in a variety of ways; fried, mashed, sweet, and savory.
