Some Strange and Interesting Animal Facts!

Courtesy of berro.com, here are some very interesting animal facts. Some of these are awesome, and I wanted to share it with you all!

* Dolphins sleep with one eye open.
* An elephant can be pregnant for up to 2 years
* A goldfish has a memory span of 3 seconds
* More people are killed annually by donkeys than in airplane crashes
* A mule won't sink in quicksand but a donkey will
* When a horned toad is angry, it squirts blood from its eyes
* There are more insects in ten square feet of a rain forest than there are people in Manhattan
* By some unknown means, an iguana can end its own life

I thought those were pretty cool and definitely my favorites.

Anyone have any cool facts to share, post away!!

Until next time,
Cheers!

Freakish Four Legged Duck!

I was browsing the celler today and found this amazing creature. Apparently this little guy was found in Britain, and another one just popped up Hebron.

Here is a clip of the crazy devil.

Climate Changing Travel - A Big Part of Our Future!

Peter Greenberg has a great article on his site talking about the effects of global warming in the next years to come. Some of these realizations are very shocking, here is a small clip of some of the top tourist destinations that could be affected:

Everglades, Florida: Due to increasing frequency of hurricanes;

Taj Coral Reef, Maldives: Rising sea levels will put much of the area underwater;

Cologne Cathedral, Germany: Already considered "at risk," this monument may be irreparably damaged from pollution;

Great Barrier Reef: Cruise ships are being blamed for damaging one of the world's largest marine ecosystems;

Athens, Greece: We're already seeing temperatures of more than 40C, which is expected to be exacerbated;

Tuscany, Italy: Heat waves and a rapid increase in wildlife threaten to make this a less attractive tourist spot


Definitely give the entire article a read and let's hope we can start to take care of our planet; Something that is long overdue!

Until next time,
Cammy! :)

Help Save Animals That Cannot Save Themselves!

A very good friend of mine sent this to us and we thought that it is something we definitely should share. Please read through this short blog and take a quick 5 minutes to really help out animals that can not protect themselves. Someone has to take care of these creatures.

I've just signed it and it's a really worthwhile campaign - Japan is killing over 20,000 dolphins and small whales annually, most of which are ending up in meat markets. It's brutal and needless and is being subsidized by the international aquarium industry.

If you click on the following link you can potentially help stop the current negotiations for the sale and transfer of 12 bottlenose dolphins from secret Japanese killing coves to the Ocean World Adventure Park, a Dominican Republic amusement park. WAYN have set up this petition so that our signatures can potentially make a difference not only in this particular instance but in raising public awareness for the issue.

It will only take a few moments so please click here and make a difference with me:

Stop the killing and start saving animal lives. This is a worthwhile cause to everyone!

Until Next time,
Cammy!
