Scientists have discovered a new (and totally adorable!) species in the deserts of northwest Namibia: the round-eared sengi, A.K.A round-eared elephant shrew. An international team of experts led by John Dumbacher of the California Academy of Sciences discovered the disntinct differences between this round-eared little fella and his fellow sengi after an extensive six-year study. Along […]
Bali, a small island in Indonesia, has approximately 4.22 million people living on it. It also has over 400,000 homeless dogs, roaming the streets, falling ill and living a terrible life without love or stability. Animal rescue organizations like BARC (Bali Dog Adoption Rehabilitation Centre) have their work cut out for them. It’s not uncommon […]
Everyone starts out as an adorable baby. Everyone. But then puberty happens and you’re left with whatever the aftermath gives you to work with for the rest of your life. These poor animals aren’t so lucky when it comes to aging gracefully. If you thought spotting one little wrinkle or grey hair was bad, just […]
At a 24-hour emergency animal hospital, lots of creatures come in needing help, not just dogs and cats. Sometimes people bring in injured wildlife. One night a large bald eagle (which they appropriately named Freedom)… and the vets weren’t expecting just how big this guy would be. He had a broken wing, they suspect from being […]
The cruelty that some people can show innocent animals can be bewildering. Three helpless litters of kittens were left to die in someone’s yard by an anonymous, cold-hearted person. Thankfully, the People And Cats Together group received a call about the abandoned animals and made it their goal to save them. Once on the scene, a person […]
I’ve seen enough of the Discovery Channel to basically make me a zoologist. (See, I even know the official terms!) That’s why when I see any “crazy” animals my friends show me on their cell phone, I say thank you, but “been there, seen that.” But then one day I saw the following animals and my jaw […]
If there is one thing the internet loves it’s pets doing silly things, so when we came across this dog balancing all kinds of stuff on his head we let out a big squee! Meet Scout, he’s what we’d call a bit of a silly dog. Silly in that he likes to balance random things […]
When Porkchop was brought into One Tail At A Time in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago, workers believed him to be approximately 6 years-old and fairly healthy. He seemed like a relatively normal case at first. It wasn’t until his foster mom took him to the vet for some urinary tract issues that she […]
Every year, starting in October, a town in northern Manitoba gets swarmed by the largest carnivore that is walking the Earth today. Over 900 polar bears arrive at this town after their summer hibernation. They may be adorable, but it mustn’t be forgotten that they’re also powerful killers. It might seem cool that so many […]
No, these dogs aren’t Photoshopped. What you see are actual dog breeds from all over the world. It may seem like some bored graphic designer mixed some breeds together, but they are actually rare pups that you could buy yourself. You probably haven’t heard of the breeds before (or can pronounce their names) but write […]
