I find dinosaurs interesting but there not my favorite ancient creatures. The were not the first animals to evolve after all. All birds evolved from dinosaurs with their closest living relative being the modern turkey. Dinosaurs originally evolved from small reptiles and first began to appear 231 mi...

Yesterday we found a fledging gold finch. After a web search we found that it should still be dependent in its mother for another two weeks. I held it earlier and let it sit on my belly while I was lying down. In the end it succumbed to eternal injuries from before we found. I had my mom who had bee...

I once touched a baby black capped chickadee in its nest. Also I once touched a fledgling Bewick's Wren. There six fledging's scattered all over my backyard one was sitting on the lid of our trashcan. I touched and probably scared the poor thing and it fell off. I found it again and it was still fin...

Have you heard this one? Daddy-Longlegs are one of the most poisonous spiders, but their fangs are too short to bite humans This tale has been lurking around for years. I have heard it repeatedly in the United States and even heard a schoolteacher misinforming her class at a museum in Brisbane, Aus...

In my opinion NO goals have been met. What have kids learned from this. Wolves eat the lie down, sit down, they find a mate, the hunt, pups are born, pups have predators, and... nothing else. I was psyched to here about 2.5 but when it arrived... I died from boredom, uninstalled the game, and became...

I'm not sure if I currently have a "favorite" bird but there are certain birds that never cease to amaze me. Be it the amazing acrobatics of a swallow, the pure beauty of the Bald eagle, or the mesmerizing sight and sound of the owl. In fact I often have swallow nests just outside my bedroom window ...

I think ospreys are cool. Were I live i only see them in the summer. In fact at an indian reservation my family and i go to theres an osprey nest by the river that we swim in. In fact we practicly swim underneath it. Two years ago me my sister and our friends walked along the riverbank and found wha...

Guess What! I just got a chance to hear a really rare bird. I took the bus home from school today as always. I still have to walk from my bus stop to my house though. I got to my house and reached for the door handle when I was stoped by an odd bird call. One I have never heard before. Once inside I...

This year while on vacation a saw some elk grazing by the roadside. Elk and moose are clasified as deer. I live in washington and had to pass through the cascades to get to were we were going. The cascades are a mountain range that seperates the stat's western two thirds and eastern one third. The c...

Ok last saturday I did something amazing involving wildlife. I could not figure out were to talk about this kind of thing. So I am posting my own topic on wildlife journey's. Maybe a vacation to a national park, seeing some amazing sights while camping in the woods, or even a day trip of wildlife vi...

Really lovely pictures of the lighthouse wolfman! It looks pretty unique; I'd love to visit one day and see if I can make it to the top. xD thanks. I would have taken pictures of a historical inn. But I was to relaxed in car to get out and do that. There are three historicle things we saw that day....

No offense to anyone who hunts, but I think that it's sick and wrong. I mean, we have meat in the store that's perfectly good, why in the world would u want to catch your own? For all we know, the animal you shot could have a family to look after, and somewhere out their it's baby could b waiting, ...
