Saving Lifes of Animals Victims of Economy - (USA)
dopt-a-Pet.com, North America's largest non-profit pet adoption website, announced the expansion of its pet adoption database to include rabbits, horses, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, farm-type animals and other small pets. This is in addition to the already extensive Adopt-a-Pet.com database of cats and dogs available for adoption across the nation. “We expanded our database because there are many other pets aside from cats and dogs that need loving homes,” said David Meyer, founder and

Shedding - (USA)
Growing up with an asthmatic mother who was allergic to anything with fur meant only one thing to me as a child- no pets. So I adapted. We had outdoor cats to catch the mice around our rural home. We had the occasional fish, which always, I might add, went belly-up soon after adoption. In middle school I became interested in herpetology- or the study of reptiles and amphibians- much to my parents' chagrin. I wanted a snake for a pet, and they humored me by enrolling me in a 4H club, hoping, I'm

Why Aren’t “Albino” Reptiles White? - (USA)
If you’ve ever walked into a pet store and seen “albino corn snakes” or “albino red-eared slider turtles” for sale, you know that many pets labeled albino in stores or by breeders don’t look like a typical albino. After all, albinos are supposed to be white with pink or pale red eyes , and most so-called albino reptiles are pale yellow, orange, or pink, often with elaborate color patterns, and sometimes even have brown eyes. What Are Pigmented “Albino” Reptiles Really? Most reptiles labeled

So stop already. - (USA)
Silence Dogood here. I was totally grossed out a couple of seconds ago to receive an e-mail from Duncraft, the venerable backyard birdfeeding company, offering an array of its latest products. Normally, I enjoy seeing what Duncraft has come up with. But today, not so much. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a chance to eat lunch yet. Or maybe it’s because I’m a vegetarian. But Duncraft’s ads for its freeze-dried mealworms were enough to put me off of lunch for life. Back in the day, mealworms

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Another crypto memory from Hong Kong in the early 1960s - (USA)
It is pretty much an open secret that my parents and I did not get on, and that my father and I didn't reconcile until a few months before he died. That is ancient history now, but one of the sad knock-on effects is that I didn't have access to the family photos until after his death. Pictures like these should really have been included in my 2004 book Monster Hunter but I only discovered them recently. It shows a young me (in about 1965) walking hand in hand with my father along one

The red fox (Vulpes fulva) tends to be shy and is most commonly seen at dawn or dusk. However, occasionally they can be seen in broad daylight, when they feel that a safe retreat is close by or when they have the need to hunt for prey that is active in the daytime (diurnal.)A

Florida Offers Amnesty For One Day For Exotic Pet Owners - (USA)
If you live in Florida and you are growing tired of that pet Bengal Tiger you have been illegally keeping as a pet, then March 21st is your day of amnesty. You can waltz on down to the Metrozoo in Miami and turn in that animal with complete amnesty. Florida is known for having its fair share of exotic pets and animals on the “black” market that are illegal in the United States . Surely this has at least contributed to the 133 non-native species that can now be found in the wilds of Florida.
