ears. Their feet have hairless soles, like many other mammals, they also have very sharp short claws. The Guinea Pig us a fairly large rodent that weighs one to up to three pounds, and is twenty to forty centimeters long. They used to be a native animal in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, until they soon became extinct in the wild unless domesticated. They live either indoors or outdoors. They were brought to Europe in the 16th century as a result of the Columbia Exchange. Since the 1800s they have…

As the famous saying goes, “Bears would be bears”. Okay. That’s not a saying. But whether you like it not, no one would ever dare to stand toe-to-toe with a massive 7-footer, 500-lb, fanged, fury mammal. Even the bravest hunter would rattle in fear when a wild, hungry bear had its eyes fixed directly onto him while in ready-to-attack beast mode. Who would have thought that a fury brown grizzly would tear your apart for lunch? Freaky! But don’t worry folks. No matter how hungry and outrageous…

Medicine and start a family. I am persuaded that majoring in wildlife sciences/pre-vet at Auburn will help be achieve those goals. After college I would love to get my doctorate because I enjoy helping animals and their owners. Growing up I have always had a soft spot for animals in my heart but by majoring in wildlife sciences, it will allow me to come out of my shell and take a different path from just dogs and cats. Also by majoring in this department, I wish to encounter different…

What animals do you think of when you think of the ocean? Maybe a shark or some coral reefs, now what animals do you think of in Africa, maybe a gorilla or an elephant and a rhino. Well you may have to start thinking about different animals, because thanks to illegal animal poaching these animals may be extinct in our lifetime based on the amount of illegal poaching that is happening. When I heard this news my jaw hit the floor, but thanks to illegal animal poaching of endangered animals this…

WATKINS GLEN (WENY) - On October 10, the Farm Sanctuary, rescued more than 130 starving and dying animals from a farm in the Hudson Valley area alongside the Hudson Valley SPCA. Roughly 50 of those animals were sent to the Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen for recovery. As Tara Hess, the Senior Shelter Manager at the Farm Sanctuary, walks into a barn, she kneels downs next to Mouse. A pig who oddly enough looks like a mouse but is constantly slouching because his back left leg is limp. Hess…

accommodation for a cat there are many things you must take into consideration. Under the animal welfare act you are required to: - Provide a suitable environment - Provide a suitable diet - The animal must be able to exhibit normal behaviour patterns - The animal must be housed with or apart from other animals Must be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease (Animal Welfare Act 2006, 2016) I took the five animal needs into consideration when I designed the accommodation for…

purely on looks, as typically a leash is already connecting the two. The authors did, however, acknowledge there could be a visual correlation between canine and human during the adoption process. People may have been attracted to a certain dog, or any animal for that matter, because of a specific quality or feature they found in common with themselves. Another factor the researchers took into consideration was the length of cohabitation. After years of living…

What makes an animal good? Is it their benefit to the ecosystem, their evolved skills, or how nice they are to look at? In all three categories the victor may be surprising. Snakes. Snakes are amazing, talented, and gorgeous. Their ecologic benefits are rooted in their prey, as I’m sure you know, snakes eat mice and rats. If snakes were less talented they wouldn’t be able to catch the rats, or even the harmful insects they keep at bay. Then the prey would multiply and eat until its food source…

condition or disorder. Animal assisted therapy was introduced as a way to help people cope and learn to deal with emotional, physical or mental problems. I would have like to have the opportunity to work with an animal assisted therapist when I was first diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Some people that I know were able to relax and not stress as much about all that came from having diabetes by being close to the therapy dogs at the hospital. I believe that the use of animal assisted therapy…

dangers in zoos toward animals held in captive? The correct answer is yes, there are many. Elaborating on that, zoos should not be holding large animals in captive. Holding large animals in captive is bad because a lot of animals play an important role in their environment, many of their physical needs aren't met by zoos, and their lives are often shorter if their born in a zoo. If we take animals out of their environment, that will hurt the environment(“A zoo”). All animals play an important…
