4th of July Petsmart Sale

June 28th, 2008

If you are looking for cheap toys and products for your pet then I would definitely advise heading off to Petsmart this weekend to take advantage of the July 4th offers that Petsmart have every year.

Sometimes they drop prices of dog toys to as low as $0.01, to get rid of stock to make room for summer stock which comes in after 4th of July.

Alternatively you can look for things like Dog Toys at PetSmart.com and maybe bag yourself a deal online!

have you ever used Petsmart during the 4th of July sales? And if so what great bargains have you grabbed?

Happy Independence day….

A note to my regular reader: Sorry I have not been around much lately. I have been very busy on various web projects and do plan to get back to this blog on a regular basis very soon.

Some random facts and information about Squirrels!

June 17th, 2008

I was out in my local park the other day and noticed that the bold squirrels were all coming up to me. Luckily I had my camera so took a few snaps.

I thought this could be an ideal opportunity to find out a little more about squirrels and show some of my photos. So here are some facts and some random informations about squirrels.

What do squirrels eat?

My immediate answer to this would be ANYTHING!!! But looking into it their natural diet is a mixture of nuts, berries and fruits. If faced with extreme hunger they will eat insects, bird eggs and pick at carcasses.

Last autumn I actually caught a Squirrel eating a slice of pizza, so we know their city life diet varies a lot!!

How long do squirrels live?

Squirrels live for about 3-5 years in the wild. They can live a little longer if cared for domestically.

What is a squirrels habitat?

The ideal habitat for a standard gray squirrel is a dense old forest with plenty of trees and hollows to nest in and forage for food. Squirrels come to the open parks of the city mainly for food and because their ideal habitat is being destroyed.

What types of Squirrel can you find in the city?

There are many types of squirrel but the most common in North America is the Gray Squirrel. I have also seen black and red squirrels here in Montreal.

I really love watching the squirrels. They run around and make pretty crazy expressions. Many people see them as vermin and they probably are but it really is not their fault.

One of my earliest memory of a squirrel is when one ran up my leg and sat on my head. I was so petrified that I froze and started crying!

Do you have any crazy squirrel stories?

The Giant Gippsland Earthworm

June 7th, 2008

gippsland earthworm
Image source: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ahnws205.htm

Nobody likes me everybody hates me I think I’ll go and eat some worms.

My mum used to mockingly say this little saying to me when I was being a little annoying brat. I imagine she would have been very upset if I actually did eat some worms but I think, mortified if I ate one of these suckers.

I first heard about these amazing animals on a BBC or Channel 4 documentary that I watched and was fascinated. I couldn’t understand why I had never even heard of such a thing. Surely it is a school duty to teach children about the wonders of this world.

Obviously the creator of Tremors has heard of them and maybe even the creator of Beetlejuice. The idea of these giant creatures burrowing underneath our feet is kind of creepy and I am sure to many, utterly terrifying. Personally I love the idea of them churning up the soil and keeping things underground working as they should.

Ok, now the facts, including the important question… How big do they get?

Scientific name: Megascolides australis
Country / Region of origin: Australia, Gippsland in Victoria
Species: Earthworm
Weight and size: Now the bit you have been waiting for…. Average is around 80cm long with a 2cm diameter but it can grow up to an enormous 3meters.
(If you think anymore details should be here then just leave a comment and I will add find out and add it)

Australia has around 1000 types of earthworm and the Gippsland worm is the biggest of that kind with the biggest find being approx 4meters. It must be an absolutely haunting thought for many people! Sadly the minuscule little European counter part has been introduced and now rules the roost.

They have a dark purple head and a pinkish grey body and live burrows of around 2meters deep in moist clay areas either close to or under rivers and streams. They are only found in a small region of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia and sadly due to many factors their numbers are on the decline.

Apparently if you stomp the ground you can hear gurgling which is made when they slide off through their tunnels as quick smart as they can. The sound of their digging has also been compared to hearing a toilet flush! I don’t know this for sure but I would imagine that their disturbing of the earth is avery good thing for the environment and it would be ashame to lose these, in some peoples eyes (like mine!), beautiful creatures.

Conservation Status

Sadly these slippery critters are deemed vulnerable which means that they are threatened and numbers are rapidly declining.

Modern colonization and farming practices are taking a big toll, with herbicides and pesticides seeping into the soil and water being drained from the land. Herds of animals are disturbing their habitat and even being handled by a human could kill them. Even though they are Earthworms they don’t have the ability to be chopped into several pieces and survive. One cut on these poor things could lead to them bleeding to death.

The raunchy sex life of an average Gippsland Earthworm in an average Gippsland stream bank

They mate around Spring and Summer laying egg sacs approx 7cm long which take a year to hatch. Daddy’s super sperm means that they hatch out at a size of 20cm and are ready to dig themselves through mud for the rest of their lives.

The Museum!

If you are out today doing the shopping or going to get the car cleaned and you just so happen to pass by Gippsland in Australia then maybe you should stop by the town of Bass

Bass is the home of the Giant Gippsland Earthworm museum where you can go and find out pretty much everything about them.

My final words

Please don’t hate this animal because it’s basically a slimy worm of astronomical size. People don’t hate sharks that much anymore and they are still eating the occasional person here and there. I don’t think you will find any records of an earthworm munching on corpse felled by it’s gruesome slaughter tactics and they keep the soil alive. The fact that they are endangered and not many people know about them is sad. Obviously this is a plea for links too but it would be great if you could spread the word about this or any endangered animals that you hear about.

Lion Hugging Woman

June 3rd, 2008

A while back on my main blog, The Random Forest, I posted a post titled Lion Hugging Woman. That post got quite a good feedback and along with the other animal posts that I had written was one of the main things that made me start Blog About Animals.

I thought the story of the woman being hugged by the lion was very original but after searching a little I have found absolutely tons of examples of lions being affectionate. Here are my 3 favorites.

1. A full grown male lion in Columbia Zoo, welcomes back his old owner with a big hug, awwww

    Several years ago this woman found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle. She took the cub home and fed him and brought him up until he was too big to keep anymore. Then she made arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion. Here’s a video of what happened when she went to visit him in the zoo for the first time:

    2. Christian the Lion, reunited with the man who raised him, one year after release

    Back in the swing sixties, 1969 to be precise, animal laws were very poor. John Rendall purchased a little lion cub from Harrods store in London. The lion came to be known as Christian and lived with John in his Chelsea flat on the famous Kings Road (back then, home to Mick Jaggar). The lion lived the high life and was loved by everybody until he got too big. Sadly a city is no place for a lion and it was recognized that he was too big. John made the right decision and Christian was integrated back into the wild in Kenya.

    This is what happened one year later when John went back to see Christian…

    Marlice Van Der Merwe and her orphaned lions

    Marlice Van Der Merwe raised 15 orphaned lions on her dads farm in Namibia. When they got too big and started becoming the dangerous predators we all know about, she went with a group of Bushman friends in search of a new home for her adopted children.

    These videos amaze me and they are only a small collection of videos showing how affectionate these beasts can really be. Sadly we can’t co-exist with them if they are in their original wild state.

    Maybe one day I will get to hug a lion!

    A fellow animal lover has fallen ill

    May 30th, 2008

    I was just visiting my blogging friend Garry Conn and I sadly found out that a good blogging friend of his, an amazing woman, and animal lover has fallen very ill.

    This is very sad and it is important that we come together as blogger and spread the word. Here is the post in full:

    A Blogger We All Know And Adore Has Fallen Sick

    Written by, Garry Conn on May 30th, 2008.

    On April 16th, 2008 my good online friend, Brennan Kingsland, feel ill with acute kidney failure due to chronic kidney disease. This really isn’t a very good thing. For those that might have forgotten, the main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys partly or completely lose their ability to carry out normal functions. This is dangerous because water, waste, and toxic substances build up that normally are removed from the body by the kidneys.

    Chronic kidney disease is when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually over time, usually months to years. Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages of increasing severity:

    stages-of-kidney-failure

    I am unsure where Brennan is at with her battle for recovery, I know that she has been visiting her doctor very often as they have been attempting to treat her with medication. She has been updating me via email with progress updates and overall this has been a very touch and go situation for her. Unfortunately, just this morning, Brennan sent me a very brief email stating that things have started to go in the wrong direction again.

    brennan-kingslandBrennan Kingsland is a determined woman who wants to improve education for our children. She loves animals and has owned and maintained a volunteer animal shelter for many years. She is a very free spirited, gifted and intelligent writer and publisher.

    Brennan Kindsland is an amazing individual who values life. In fact, a little over 20 years ago when her best friend and loving husband suffered from a major heart attack, she immediately made a career change to be come a Critical Care Registered Nurse just so that she could make sure that her loving husband was going to be receiving the best care over the years. Quite a few years later and after things were going much better for her husband, she decided it was safe to go back to her career in publishing.

    After witnessing how Brennan was willing to make major changes in her life just to help someone that she cared dearly about, today it is your turn. While I am not asking you to become a nurse or a doctor, I am asking that you provide a donation of money that will greatly support and help Brennan in a time of need.

    For everyone who reads this announcement, please understand that any amount you are willing to donate will help and her in her journey towards having the best quality of life while enabling her to build strength to fight her illness. With your help, I have no doubt in my mind that Brennan Kingland will push through this challenging time in her life.

    Please send a direct money donation safely and securely using www.paypal.com. Simply visit www.paypal.com, log into your account and send your money donation to: healthnet@wctel.net.

    To help Brennann Kingland even further, please download a copy of this article and publish it on your blog or web site. Simply download and extract the zip file and copy the html code found on the text file and paste it on your blog.

    What on earth is this…. Maybe an Alien?

    May 29th, 2008

    Since the Nasa Phoenix landed on Mars, the other day, I have had a renewed interest in aliens. So it was strange for this to happen!

    My girlfriend has been trying to tell me that out house is the home of some very odd insects. Her descriptions of a multi legged, big eyed monster of a beast sounded like and alien life form. I must be honest. I was dubious…… but then yesterday, she caught one. And I got some photos.

    alien centipede

    I know I had never seen anything like this, and it scared the life out of me! It was about 1.5 inches long and had 16 legs (a few were lost when it got trapped in the glass). Sightings of them , in this house, had been seen up to 4 inches, with many more legs.

    I had to apologize to my girlfriend for not believing her and now I had seen one, I could not rest until I found out.

    As you probably predicted it isn’t an alien.

    After an extensive Google image search, I found out that it is in fact a House Centipede.

    It looks quite different from your average centipede, as it’s eyes are pronounced and it has 2 long legs for grabbing onto prey. Luckily prey isn’t humans, they feed on things like spiders, silver fish and bed bugs. So not too bad to have around the house then!

    Some web sites said that they are capable of biting humans but it is very rare and likely to hurt no more than any normal insect bite.

    As you can see the bigger ones look even more like aliens:

    house centipede

    For detailed info you can check out this great fact sheet on house centipedes from Harvard.

    Have you ever encountered these bugs or anything like it?

    The Phoenix has landed on Mars! Will this change life as we know it?

    May 25th, 2008

    phoenix landed on marsAs I type the Nasa Phoenix has finished traveling 85,000 miles per hour towards the surface of the planet Mars and confirmation has been received the the Mars Phoenix has just landed safely on the surface of the Red Planet! Now this is monumental…

    However this article is not about the landing itself (more detailed info can be followed Nasa Mars Phoenix Lander Site). It is about what the Phoenix landing might change for us.

    We have a good grasp of what we believe to be a life form or an animal. Anything we dream up in our heads is normally a mutated or Frankenstein’d version of what we already know. It is almost impossible for us to judge what a life on another planet may actually look and function like.

    Part of the mission of the Nasa Mars Phoenix Lander will be to discover if Mars was ever suitable for life, if there has ever been life on Mars and if so, what was it?

    Some scientists are already trying to get people ready for expecting life that we have never seen before and with the recent discovery of the Hottest Life Forms on earth the possibility that evidence of past life on Mars is ever growing.

    A recent story from National Geographic talked about a life form that had been found a mile under the seafloor living in hot sediment. This is double the known depth for any life and also probably the hottest conditions that life has ever been found in. They are thriving in the 60 to 100 degrees Celsius sediment and it has been estimated that they could be 10 to 30 percent of the world’s total living matter. The life forms are said to be similar to previously discovered life forms that thrive around hot springs.

    I believe that it is almost ignorant for us to discount life on other planets. I am not a religious person but respect religion and do not discount the notion of some higher being or energy. I also believe that they notion of other life fits in well and could be openly accepted by most religious people.

    Merging science and religion and accepting that we are not alone leaves us only with the thoughts of what is sharing the universe?

    Maybe soon our human fascination will be fueled again when Nasa discovers a small organism developed enough to be called an Animal, living under the icy Mars surface.

    We can only hope !!

    Will we find life?
    If we do, what will it change?
    Do you believe that we are alone?
    What will the Aliens look like?

    The BlogBlast For Peace Meme ~ Join The Revolution

    May 23rd, 2008

    A regular reader of mine and owner of a fine daily read of mine, Sandee from Comedy Plus (a fantastic daily comedy blog) has passed me on this important Meme.

    Sandee said:”My pal Mimi, the QUEEN of meme’s, the creator of The Peace Globes, the author of BlogBlast for Peace has come up with a brilliant idea. She is treating her Peace Globes as a meme to spread this wonderful event. I’m going to jump on board and I challenge you to copy and paste this meme on your site and tag absolutely everyone in the blogosphere”

    Here’s what Mimi has to say:

    Peace Globes did not begin as a meme. But it began to behave like a meme. Blog to blog to blog. Like a fog. We didn’t use the word “tag” ….but that’s what we did when we invited others in our blogrolls to participate. The fact that you did so without the obligatory tag is proof that the concept is powerful.

    It’s a fact that the fastest and most effective way to spiral an idea out of control in the blogosphere is via a meme. I should know! The 700+ bloggers who participated in past launches (and that truly is the tip of The-Iceberg-I-Never-Found) knows what it means to them. It’s about unity. We have that in spades. It’s about activism, awareness, crossing political lines, making a statement and sharing ideas. We’ve done that. We have the vision as a core group of bloggers for peace; but we do not – yet – have the power in numbers behind the message.

    **start copy**

    BlogBlast For Peace Meme ~ Join The Revolution

    Here are the rules and the story. Copy this into a post and tag as many people as you’d like.

    The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe – Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) – branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world – from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.

    It was simple. And powerful.

    In less than two weeks bloggers from all
    across the globe will blog for peace.
    We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
    Won’t you join us?
