Honey Badger

2011-11-06T12:28:00.001-06:00

That's right folks! Straight out of the Internet sensation, the animal that doesn't care, eats that cobra for dinner, and takes venom induced naps, the HONEY BADGER!

The honey badger YouTube video is not suitable for children. But, you can always turn the volume down and create your own PG narration.

People love this guy so much, we hear requests every weekend. So by popular demand, we have jumped on the bandwagon, kinda sold out, and gave you what you want.

We also have cobras.

Slow Loris

2011-09-15T12:22:00.001-05:00

This little one is endangered. It hangs in those trees with a pincer like grip for hours and hours and holds still when threatened.

Like a cat it grooms itself, but unlike a cat, a glandular secretion on its arm mixes with saliva and becomes toxic. Giving the slow loris a poisonous bite, quite unusual for a mammal.

The phantasmal poison frog may be a small fry, but sure packs a punch. This brightly marked cutie has a poison not to be reckoned with.

The Surinam toad is almost completely flat, like a leaf!

The eggs of a Surinam toad stay in small pockets in the mom's back through the tadpole stage. They don't hatch from her back until they are fully formed toads!

Don't worry about this guy and his kind going extinct, he is listed as LC, (least concern), on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Conservation Status Scale.

Some say they are all a bunch of urban pests, thieves even. They not only steal food but also stuff, your favorite pair of jeans, your Mix-o-matic Blender, you name it. But dang, aren't they cute.

Did you know that mudpuppies have an average lifespan of twenty years old?

Despite their name, these little friends do not bark like dogs. They do, however, grow to be as long as 16 inches! That's one lengthy salamander.

Chinchilla

This guy lives in cold environments and forages for food all night long.

Not only does his thick fur coat protect from low temps, it prevents evaporation in his dry environment. His favorite source of beverage is the morning dew.

Animal of the week.

Symbolically Boars are representative of their positive qualities of strength and fierceness. They were introduced to the United States, most likely, for hunting purposes. Catching one with your bare hands would be quite a feat...
and is not, a suggested action, by any means...
but you sure would be cool.

Did you know that the slow-moving sloth can take over a month to digest food?

Animal of the week - Chinese Water Deer

2010-07-04T18:16:00.000-05:00

Their canines are held loosely in their sockets, with their movement controlled by facial muscles. The buck can draw them backwards out of the way when eating. In aggressive encounters, he thrusts his canines out and draws in his lower lip to pull his teeth closer together. He then presents an impressive two-pronged weapon to rival males.
