What the Heck Happened to Animal Planet?

When I was little,I was in LOVE with animal planet (for those of you who don't know,it is a TV channel).I used to plan my day around it.I would watch growing up wild in the morning with my mom,and watch Jeff Corwrin , most extreme, and Steve Irwin  right before dinner. I used too look forward to "wild kingdom" every Saturday (or was it Sunday?it has been so long). Now, they decided to become "Surprisingly Human" with shows like "call of the wild man" and "the monster inside me" (which I will never ever watch it freaks me out,not gross,just scary).The only half decent show is Tanked, but that is pretty much all about humans. I don't watch animal planet at all anymore.All I watch is cartoon network and Disney. I searched the web and found that many people feel the same way I do.What happened to good old animal planet?!?!? What the heck did it go!?!?!

Stumbling

Hey yo everyone!I recently got a stumble upon account and it is awesome!I found this picture.I so wish that was me......

So,yesterday I wasn't feeling to good and I doodled this because I was bored and I love Gravity Falls.

For those who do not watch the show,this is Wendy.She one of my favorite characters on the show.My favorite is Dipper. So yeah.Not much to write about today.My mom has a mythology class and she told me that the creator god of Egyptian myth (in this version) ,Atum,(I think) created himself using sheer force of will. How the heck did he do that?I mean if he didn't exist then he couldn't have will. The class had a long conversation pondering this. Gahhhh mythology is so weird.I love it though.Especially Greek.

so,here is the photo of the day!

Sarloos Wolfhonds

So you know that wolf/dog hybrid that I talked about in Cookies and Improv? if not,go back to that post.I learned not to long after that that breeders are practically nonexistent outside of the Netherlands.:( also, they are escape artists,not good for meek owners or houses with small children,and/or smaller animals.My plan is,once I am super rich,I'll travel to the Netherlands and buy a puppy wolfhond and train it to give me a high five.Nice plan right? What could go wrong??? :P

A hawk flew into my window!

So my aunt called today and she told us that a hawk flew into her window. At first all she heard was a thump and her cat started stalking over to the window. She ran outside and found a hawk lying on the ground breathing heavily and freaking out. She picked it up and it fell asleep in her arms! She took pictures (well, my uncle did) and then it woke up and flew away.It was so cool!I wish I had been there. Hawks are really cool. Did you know that in movies and such,they used a hawks cry for an eagle because an eagle sounds funny!?! So that wickedly cool cry we always hear is a hawk, not an eagle most of the time.


Adios,

Bobcats

Alright,I know I haven't been doing much about the environment lately so here is an environmental post.(kinda)

So, you know what bobcats are right? If not,here is an epic picture of one.Bobcats live in North America and are small felines about the size of a large house cat.This is were the problem is.You see, people think that they can be domesticated just like regular house cats but this is not the case. Eventually they might claw their "owners" (they have really strong claws) probably accidentally and then they would be declawed.Then they might resort to biting cause,hey,you declawed them what do you expect?Then they aren't manageable enough and are thrown back in the wild. How are they going to catch their food or climb trees without claws?Some starve or are taken on to preserves like the one I went to. I saw two bobcats there, named Cash and Santa.That was pretty much there life story.Here are a few bobcat factoids.


1. Bobcats can take down full grown deer.

2.They first appear about 1.8 million years ago.

3.In some areas, they are still trapped for their beautiful fur.

4.There are some 1 million in the U.S alone.

5.They live from 10 to 12 years

6.They can leap up to ten feet!

7.They are named for their "bobbed" tail.Cool right!?

Adios,

Sharks, not your typical “Jaws”.

   Most people don’t like sharks. It’s probably because they seem to be always attacking people in the ocean. However, this is not true.

Of the 400 species of sharks that we know of, only 12 are dangerous. Also, you are 250 times more likely to be struck by lightning than be killed by a shark. Watch out for that thunderstorm!

Some ways you can help prevent a shark attack even more are, don’t swim in the ocean during dawn, dusk, and night, that is when sharks come close to shore and feed. Next, never go in the ocean if you are bleeding, sharks can smell a drop of blood from a mile away. Always stay near a lifeguard, they can warn you if they see a shark.

One of my favorite facts about sharks is that there are 43,674 more injuries associated with toilets compared to injuries with sharks. Another cool thing about sharks is that whenever a shark loses a tooth, another one moves to the front! All the front teeth have rows behind them in case one falls out! One more sweet fact, the only reason most sharks would bite you is because they use their mouth to feel, like we use our hands .They quickly realize we taste bad, and swim away.

Sharks have gotten a bad rap for far too long.  The ocean is their home, and if we choose to swim in it, we can take steps to coexist peacefully. They are amazing creatures who deserve respect. I hope this helps you understand sharks, be less afraid of them, and realize how totally awesome they are!!

Spaying and Neutering

Hi everyone!Just a warning here,I was watching one of those shows called animal cops were they take care of abused animals and i realized a big issue is spaying and neutering.I f you spay or neuter your dog,then it can't make more puppies when there are millions already who need homes!! Now would be a good time for another pet finder animal.

 this is Cookie and she is a Domestic Short Hair Mix in Lampasas, TX .
They didn't really have a paragraph about her so that's all i know besides she is a old cat and is declawed.
she is also spayed!!!! yay!!!

Extinction

hello everyone!Another depressing post, I can tell you are excited!So you guys all know about how the dinosaurs all went extinct?Well that was called a mass extinction and scientists think we are in one now.A mass extinction is were many species go extinct.Most of the time it is because of some environmental disaster or environmental pressure (I will explain what those mean in another post) but the one we are having right now is caused by human activity.Human activity is were humans do something that affects the environment like farming, fishing, or logging.Did you know that every second a football field sized chunk of the rainforests is cut down?Approximately 30,000 species are lost every year.We need to preserve all species because if one becomes extinct,the whole ecosystem pays.

lets say that one bug goes extinct.Then the population of the voles that eat that bug go down,and the owls start paying to and the ecosystem collapses


One thing that you can do is help raise awareness!!!!raise awareness about any environmental crisis you can!then whoever you tell will tell someone and so on!

Please help,

Dolly the sheep and other famous sheep

I really like sci-fy.So of course I watched a movie about cloning and dolly the sheep.It was awesome!It was a short movie on brain pop.com.I like brain pop.So did you know dolly was cloned from THREE sheep? they used three sheep for different uses.Dolly only has DNA from one though.I also learned that there was this one sheep, that hid for SIX years before they found it and sheared it.That one sheep's wool could make like 6 suits or something it was cool!!!Did you know that sheep can tell if someone is happy, mad, or sad ?Also,sheep can recognize 50 sheep and 1o humans,even if they don't see them for years at a time!!
This post started with cloning and ended with celebrating sheep.I always wanted a pet sheep.........

YAY SHEEP!!!

P.S I used a photo from a nat geo magazine to help me draw the sheep.

Wildlife heroes

hey everyone,whats up?I just got this book at the library called wildlife heroes.It is about conservationists who accomplished alot for the environment.it was really cool and i learned alot about some endangered species.One of my favorites is the fossa.i bet you are wondering what that is right?If you do know, great!A fossa is a smallish cat like animal.it is technically not in the cat family,but in a family of the mongoose.They are the largest predator in Madagascar and their IUCN status is vulnerable.You no the cat like creatures in Madagascar (the movie)? That's what these are.I really like fossas and want to help them and maybe study them.I hope you do to.The picture below is of a fossa and I might draw one later!

The amur leopard

Hullo everyone!I have this book called going going gone about endangered species of animals and plants.One of the most endangered in the book was the Amur leopard.They live ONLY by the Amur river somewhere in Asia.I am pretty sure it is kinda cold up there so they have longer coats than normal leopards and this could be a reason that they are hunted .Another animal by the Amur river is the Amur tiger which is also critically endangered.You can help these animals by donating to world wildlife fund .I hope you do.There are only around 30 left.There used to just be 5 so that is pretty good but still...



I hope you help save this beautiful animal from complete extinction.
