    Tortoise Eating Whale WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS

    HA HA adorable. Seriously is there anything cuter than tortoises and box turtles eating? I love how they sort of eye the food, open their mouths as big as they go, and then NOM! They always look so happy eating.

    Western saddle = dangerous

    One time I was riding western and my horse tripped on a dirt clod and then bucked, and I landed RIGHT on the horn. It hurt soooo bad. I can't imagine if I'd been a guy. Ha ha. I do personally know one guy who WAS seriously and permanently injured when he fell on the horn. I started out...

    In the interest of education… Raccoons?

    Raccoons are definitely a threat to full grown geese. They're incredibly tenacious, and they're good at surprising birds while they're sleeping. And though you don't think you have a raccoon "problem", I'd be surprised if there weren't raccoons in your area. They're pretty much everywhere...

    Can a chick really have more than one father??

    Quote: Male calico/tortoiseshell cats are usually a result of Keinfelter's syndrome...not chimerism. Kleinfelter's syndrome is males that are XXY instead of XY....it happens when the chromosomes do not separate normally during meiosis (sex cell production). Kleinfelter's occurs in many...

    Can a chick really have more than one father??

    I agree: a chick (generally) can not have more than one father. It is possible that a clutch can have multiple fathers, with each chick having one father. What you're getting, likely, is a result of the genetics of the birds, rather than a mix of input from the dads. Can a chicken EVER have...

    They'll get used to it and it'll start to feel safe and cozy to them. Don't worry.

    Geese & Rain

    You'd be surprised what "wildlife" shows up when you own prey animals. I would be very surprised if there weren't raccoons or hawks or something else in your neighborhood.

    Drawing?

    I run the Gryphon Art Exchange on LiveJournal -- everyone submits their gryphon character, and are anonymously matched up to another artist, secret santa style, with a month to draw that person's character. It's great fun! It's been such awesome practice for me. Those two gryphs I posted...

    What is this precious "ugly duckling"?

    I really only know geese, etc. from bird watching (so wild species primarily) and the pictures are pretty small for me, so I really can't say. But to me it does look like a Canada gosling -- or it could be some domestic breed I'm not at all familiar with so take my guess with a grain of salt...

    What is difference between RIR and Production Red?

    I adopted these hatchery girls when they didn't know what to do with them after a school experiment. They were said to be hatchery RIRs. Crummy, very old photo. XD Which do they look like to you guys?
