I do have a thing for Polar bears.  They look so furry and white...like the bear pulling the sled below.  Visitor North by Duncan Robert Or this cuddly and tame-looking bear... toosox @ deviantart.com But if I'M going to ride in a sled pulled by bears, I want it to look impressive, like the bears pulling the White Witch's sled in Narnia. Illustration by the Justin Sweet That's more like it...bears with teeth!   But that harness....it looks like the bears will slip it off over their heads any minute. A thought as scary as that woman's hair ..read more

Did you know that tigers aren't just yellow and black? Let's take a look at different colors they can be. White tigers have white fur instead of yellow, with stripes of different colors...like black, brown, and gold. So the two tigers in the first photo are a white tiger with a regular tiger. Black tigers have yellow fur, but lots of wide black stripes. Take a look at this one: But there is another tiger color people have reported through the years.  The blue tiger! Could there be a tiger out there that looks like this? I certainly hope so!  ..read more

And that's sad.. because these are the ones I would want on my feet ..read more

Do you see this man? He's not easy to spot. He's wearing certain colors to camouflage himself in a tree.  Color camo makes the shape of his body hard to see. Some Animals have color camo built right into their bodies! I'll show you! The leopard is circled, just to get you used to looking for animals in color camo. On a leaf. Okay, this would be some scary mud! This is a bit harder to spot...look for  its closed eye A Master at color and shape camo! It's upside down Even larger unspotted animals use their color camo: Rocks hide animals, too. And ..read more

...you can be hard to love.  And maybe a bit scary.   And certainly rare. Nicknames for this strange-looking guy? Horsehair Wolf Skunk Wolf Matted Wolf Great Fox  and my personal favorite, Red-Fox-on-Stilts Funny thing is, he's not a wolf OR a fox.  So what is he? He's called a Maned wolf and he's a type of wild dog But there's no other animal in the world like him. He's the tallest of all wild dogs, reaching 42 inches high. And he has the longest legs of all dogs...take a look, below: He does look like he's on stilts!  He has a ..read more

They're very hard to spot because: -they blend in with the coral - and they're small They are as small as your fingernail.  So you swim by, never seeing the little gems that clutch the coral... They are Pygmy seahorses! How many times did I miss them in my dives around Bonaire and Tahiti?  Could there have been dozens of Pygmy seahorses, all watching me? Let's look at what I might have seen if I had looked closely: They look more like little candies than real seahorses! Now let's have a bit of I Spy fun!  How hard is it to spot the Pygmy seahorses in the photos be ..read more

While a team of Saber-tooth tigers would be a fun ride, I don't happen to own any Saber-tooths at the moment. I DO have a sheltie, though.  So my style is probably more like this: Okay, I had to post this gorgeous photo of REAL dog sledding. Dogs can sled 90 miles in one day! Dogs pulling people around is as old as time, but you have to check out these other animals that pull, or even carry, people! Riding a buffalo!Who knew you could do that? Did you know you can ride the Texas Longhorn? Now, wait! People can actually ride a moose?   Ha ha, I didn't know tha ..read more

I'm not talking about poodles that look like cotton candy...though they're really cute, aren't they? I'm talking about real creatures. Made by God.  That look like candy! How can this be real?  Look at that fuzzy yellow fur.  And pink and yellow wings.  Let's see if his face is just as sweet: Awww! But what kind of candy is he like? I'm thinking those marshmallow "Peeps"... like maybe this guy belongs in your Easter basket. Let's see what that would look like: See him in there? It could happen! Below, you see the Candy Betta fish... and they definitely look ..read more

What animal sweats pink, ...has skin that cracks easily in the sun, ...only comes out at night, ...and is only 30 inches tall? The Pygmy hippo! Hippos in general are just silly-looking, don't you think?  Those constantly flicking ears, the rounded noses and squat bodies.   And just seeing all those hippo eyes in a lake is funny. THE COMMON HIPPO - Photo by elosoenpersona But hippos are actually no laughing matter...like the rhino, they are in the top 10 for most dangerous animal in the world. They can attack at any time, overturn vehicles, gore with th ..read more

They aren't fish, so their name has been changed... ...to Sea Jellies Which I like better than their old name... Jellyfish. A sea jelly is made of the top part, called the umbrella, and the bottom part, called the bell. Many live upside down, looking like plants on the ocean floor. But there is so much amazing beauty in a sea jelly, that you need to see more right now! Oooh, I love that snowflake jelly.  And the little spaceship one. Well, that's what I call them, but they do have real names...look at the photos above and see if you can pick these ou ..read more
