If you could own any animal in the world; which one would you pick? I know it would be tough to just choose one animal that you would like to have. Surely there is just one animal you don’t ever see your self owning and now you have the chance to own it. Pick only [...]

The Return of the Lightning Bugs

Posted by admin on June 27, 2010 at 9:22 am

I remember as a kid running through the yard and catching lightning bugs left and right. It’s one of the best childhood memories I ever had. I would catch them all evening long and put them in a jar. You know the jars with lids and we had to punch holes in it, so the [...]

Farm Animals Holding the American Economy Together

Posted by admin on April 12, 2010 at 11:55 pm

What animal would be the cheapest investment for a farmer; while giving the farmer a chance to benefit with quick rewards? I’m not sure if farmers think this way about their animals. For their crops this is very true. A farmer doesn’t care what they grow, the easier to maintain and harvest would be a factor, [...]

Posted by admin on March 13, 2010 at 6:10 pm

When it comes to pets inside the house, I’m not really fond of the idea. I love pets as much as the next person, but I do believe they belong outside. Dogs and cats both adjust to weather changes well. Their fur grows long and thick in the winter time and it sheds during the [...]

The camel is an amazing animal. One that needs very little water to travel great distances across some of the most baron deserts on the planet. There are 4 major types of deserts located on Earth. We typically think of a desert as being a place that is very hot with very little rain each [...]

In my state of Georgia we have been having a pretty cold winter this year. That got me to thinking about the honeybees in my area. I use to own and raise honey bees and I know they have to do a good job in the fall, so they can survive the winters. Normally our [...]

A long tradition in the United States when it comes to groundhogs and the weather. We Americans like to know our weather forecasts and for decades now we have been turning to our groundhogs for that information.

The Animal Planet on TV

Posted by admin on January 2, 2010 at 7:09 pm

I was watching some animal rescues on the Animal Planet channel and seen some people going to great lengths to save some animals in trouble. I’m not sure how far a human being should go and risk their own lives for an animal’s life. I guess some people really love animals or just want to [...]

The Timber Rattler is a snake that is pretty common for most U.S. States. It is a snake that has venom that can make you very sick and even be lethal at times. I am someone that doesn’t like any snake and I treat them all like they’re carrying a poison that could hurt me. [...]

Posted by admin on August 11, 2009 at 4:24 am

A new show on the Animal Planet network called Into the Pride is going to cause some buzz I’m sure. First off, you have someone that is disturbing a group of lions and it serves no purpose. The host is claiming he needs to get these lions use to humans, so they can continue to [...]
