10. Is it a beard? Is it a clown's frilly neck poof? We don't really know. But check out the crazily posh, over the top neck fur on this critter. Frilled lizards would be envious. In fact, the so called king of beasts -- the African male lion -- would be envious. All that furry drama, drawn up in a surprisingly conservative black, white and gray color scheme, as if to intentionally set off the topaz eyes as stunningly as possible. Could you be any more subtle, sophisticated and dramatic all at…

Christenfeld, discussed the psychological phenomenon behind the idea, “do dogs resemble their owners.” They hypothesized there was a small chance people could really pair owners to their dogs based 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…

german sheperd. To see if it's a purebred we had to look at both the mother and the father of the puppies. My dog was not a pure breed because her mom was not a purebreed.

Non heritable traits affect my life in many…
