Wolf Woof

According to scientists, wolves have a unique way of communication...

BARK – Warning!/Danger!

BARED TEETH – Don’t come any closer.

WHIMPER – Mother does this to calm pups.

HEAD AND EARS UP HIGH – I’m the boss.

EAR BACK AND SQUINT – I’m afraid.

DANCE AND BOW – Want to play?

HIGH WHINE – Puppies, come here!

WAG JUST THE TIP OF THE TAIL – I’m about to attack.

TAIL BETWEEN THE LEGS - You’re the boss

WOFL HOWL – Everyone! Bring the pack together!

Repeat

I would like to repeat that i merely research and lookup facts for things categorized under the Do You Know category and Animal of the Days.

Neither do i take credit for the photos unless stated.

Newborn Animals

BABY HARP SEALS are born with white fur, which acts as a camouflaging layer for them

NEWBORN DUCK-BILLED PLATYPUSES have teeth to help them to break out of their eggs..and then these teeth disappear after.

NEWBORN ARMADILLOS have soft shells which then harden into bone

NEWBORN SKUNKS are hairless...but can still spray

NEWBORN BUFFALOES are born without horns. horns grow when the buffaloes are around two months old

Behavior Problems

Everyone has behavior problems. At a young age, most probably. So do dogs.

No, if they try to bite you, that is not a sign that you should abandon them. Would you like it if your parents abandoned you because you threw a tantrum at home?

There are trainers at dog shelters i'm sure, so why don't you go find one and ask them for help? Although i reckon dog behavior problems may be caused by your lack of understanding. So be prepared to try to understand and communicate with them because this isn't a problem that can be fixed by anyone!

It has to be you!

Casey

It so happens that there is this dog named Casey. A mongrel, cream colored. A beautiful dog. He was classified as a "red" dog as he was mistreated and has a very damaged leg. He gets into fights with other dogs and hardly get along with people as he is snappy and rather aggressive. I honestly don't see a problem with it.

I noticed on the sheet of paper that casey didn't get walks at all that day. And when i approached the kennel, he started leaping up and barking. It freaked me out. So i got a strong leash, and i asked a volunteer to help me leash him. This volunteer warned me that he was very strong and i have to be careful with him. And so i did. He tried snapping at me but i didn't let him. I held onto the leash firmly, tore off a few plastic bags in case he needed to poop.

Through the walk, he was very hyper. Trying to run uphill. Actually, it was quite helpful as i was tired from walking the other dogs and having a strong dog drag me uphill was rather helpful. But i had to show him who wwas in control. It wasn't too hard. But it was definitely a good experience. 

Helping Out

I've been helping out at a local dog rescue for a few months. I really really enjoy it! The dog smell, the wagging of tails from dogs when they see you. The look of happiness when you groom them. How they enjoy it when you give them a belly rub. How much nicer and happier you feel after cleaning their kennels and seeing that they have a cleaner kennel.

It's BRILLIANT. I love the feeling. I would live in the shelter if i could. The sense of helpfulness cannot be beaten.

I think it's amazing how you get close to a dog after a while, no matter how much they have been mistreated. With patience and rewards. Miracles happen.

Animal of the Day - Zebra

Zebras. White. Black. That's our first impressions. They are..also instinctively attracted to anything with black and white stripes! I personally love Zebra stripes, whether it is nails, cover patterns etc. But never fur. Never ever.

So go paint some stripes on a wall or wear a black and white stripy shirt and they will stand next to you!

Just like fingerprints, no two zebra stripe patterns are alike
A zebra's night vision is as good as an owl's
Zebras smile; a bared teeth grimace
They travel in herds of up to 10,000!
A few Zebras are white with black stripes and not th other way round!
