RECENTLY, while workers were excavating an ancient walled city in Manila, they found an old cannon still loaded with live ammunition. Suddenly, the workers scrambled out of the excavation. Because of the cannon? No, because they had found a pile of snakes eggs, and parent snakes sometimes stay near their eggs until they hatch. The cry went out, Be careful, snakes! The workers feared the snakes more than the loaded cannon.

Unless you live in Ireland, New Zealand, some isolated islands, or areas of permanently frozen subsoil like the Arctic, there are snakes in your country. But the greatest profusion is in the tropics, and in the Philippines they are very common. However, of the almost 3,000 known varieties fewer than 200 are dangerous to man.

Examination reveals snakes to be a valuable part of the creation, albeit one to be treated with caution. They come in all sizes, from a slim six inches (15 cm) long to a bulky 40 feet (12 m). They are cold-blooded, meaning that their body temperature changes with the temperature of their surroundings. They are not slimy to the touch. Rather, their shiny scales feel dry and tough.

Sometimes it is cool to forget just how coupled we are to Earth and her charming beings. Occasionally, a remarkable experience reminds me how wholly we are all coupled.

Last month, my companion and I attended a class in Las Vegas. We intended some beyond time before, and after the tutorial to do a little exploring. Neither of us had been to Las Vegas. The lodge across the street from where we were staying boasted over two hundred waterfalls (The Mirage). It also home to some windswept animals (lions and tigers, etc) worn in one of the shows there. Another disrupt was that this lodge home to a small pod of dolphins and a baby dolphin had been born there five months ago. We resolute to go to see them.

The dolphins amuse three connecting pools. When we indoors, the team gave us an introduction to the service, describing how to find our way around, and a bit of the dolphins’ practice. The workforce cooperate with the dolphins at several time throughout the day for feeding, live, exercising and observing. My understanding about dolphins is that they are well intelligent and have a sentient consciousness like we do. That means that they are characters-informed, like us. Read the rest of this entry »

We humans love our pets. We dress them up, take them to doggie day cares, and even carry them around in little suitcases made especially for them. However, when these little darlings are larger than life, you may not be able to keep them with you as your arm candy. But that is okay because we still love our babies no matter how big or wild they might be. Did you know though, that Fido’s relatives are seen as predators that are feared all over the world? That is right. The wolf has for many years been seen as an aggressive animal that will attack without warning. But is this stereotype true? Can it be true of a family pet’s cousin?

Since the beginning of time, the Native Americans have been associating their lives with that of animals in the wildlife kingdom. One of the most misunderstood of these animals is the wolf. For years, the wolf has been seen as an aggressor, when in reality they are very loving and social creatures. This side of the animal was first seen by the tribes of the Americas. The Native American tribes recognized this and they have incorporated the wolf into many of their myths and legends. The wolf will forever be associated with the Native Americans, and learning more about this relationship can help one to better understand the world of Native Americans.

The Modern English “fox” is derived from Old English with the same spelling, the Old English word itself comes from the Proto-Germanic word “*fukh”, compare German “Fuchs”, Gothic “fauho”, Old Norse “foa” and Dutch “vos”, which corresponds to the Proto-Indo-European word “*puk” meaning “tail” (compare Sanskrit “puccha” meaning “tail” as well). The bushy tail is also the source of words for “fox” in Welsh (”llwynog”, from “llwyn” meaning “bush”).

Most foxes live 2 to 3 years but can survive for up to 10 years, or even longer, in captivity. Foxes are generally smaller than other members of the family Canidae such as wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs. Fox-like features typically include an acute muzzle (a “fox face”) and bushy tail. Other physical characteristics vary according to their habitat. For example, the Desert Fox has large ears and short fur, whereas the Arctic Fox has small ears and thick, insulating fur. Another example is the Red Fox which has a typical auburn pelt ending normally with white marking. Read the rest of this entry »
