Casa Grande Ruins Centuries Old In Arizona Valley
The Casa Grande reservation in south central Arizona spans 480 acres in the Gila valley at 1 422 feet. The Casa Grande is a dismantled four story adobe structure with walls six feet thick at the base. Early European visitor Father Kino described the ruins in 1694. The site shows irrigation remains and suggests defensive multi story design used as a watch tower to spot enemies ten miles away. Raider pressure likely forced valley dwellers to abandon the area around 700 to 900 years ago.

Tiger Habitat Across Asia Reveals Immigrant Status
The tiger does not inhabit Africa and is found mainly in Asia with a widespread but localized distribution. Its range extends west to the Euphrates and Caspian shore, north to southern Siberia and Mongolia, east to the Amur valley and Japan, and south through China, Siam, Burma, the Malay peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Bali, and India. The Tibetan plateau lacks tigers. These patterns suggest tigers are a relatively recent immigrant to the south rather than a native tropical species.
