Polar Bear

The Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) is a carnivorous bear native largely within the Arctic Circle encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the world's largest bear. A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (770–1,500 lb.), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is closely related to the brown bear its body adapts to cold temperature's, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. Their scientific name means "maritime bear", and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Polar Bears rarely live longer than 25 years old but the oldest one recorded lived to 32 years old. When a female Polar Bear gets pregnant she put on 200kg, so if you think you are "fat" think again. Polar Bear mothers look after their cubs for 2 and a half years. Adult males occasionally kill and eat the cubs :( . The longest recorded swim for a Polar Bear was 354km. Polar Bears are becoming endangered at an alarming rate and we should protect these beautiful creatures.

The Knysna Dwarf Chameleon

The Knysna Dwarf Chameleon (Bradypodion Damaranum) is a species of dwarf chameleon in the Bradypodion ("slow footed") genus that is endemic to South Africa. It is a forest dweller, found only in a limited range in the afromontane forests near Knysna, South Africa, and in certain other areas. It gives birth to live young and not eggs. As with most chameleons, its tongue is twice the length of its body and it can be shot out its mouth using a special muscle in the jaw. This gives the chameleon the ability to catch insects some distance away. The normal habitat of Bradypodion Damaranum is dense, wet montane forest. this chameleon aslo readily adapts to living in gardens. However, the use of hedge trimmers and the introduction of domestic cats have caused the species th vanish from large areas. Its body is about 4 cm long but the total length, with the tail unfolded, is about 15 cm.

My Great Danes

Hi, I'm 14 years old. I have 3 Great Danes....Venus, Isis and Titan. Venus is a pure black Great Dane and doesn't have a spot of white on her, she is 21 months old. Isis is a blue Great Dane and she is 4 years old. Titan is her baby and he is 2 and a half years old. We also look after a merle Great Dane named Coda and she is 10 months old. All of my danes are amazing loving dogs, Yesterday I stared running with Isis and she was really fun to run with. Most people think Great Danes are aggressive dogs but they are wrong. Great Danes think they are lap dogs....hahaha! Well from experience I can tell you they are not suppose to think that because they are HEAVY! but I still love my gentle giants.
