Dare like Hippos Strong Like Cror

You might think Hippos is cute And Crocodile is terrified!!!

Hippos is vegetarian animal,they don't eat mean,they don’t mess with crocs or any other meat eater animal not because they afraid of been eaten,it simply because they don’t eat meat (they might rarely nibble on a dead carcass).But they just so confident and dare on defending them self.



Crocs don’t mess with hippos because hippos isn't ordinary "hip hop" animal that let you bite and swing.. But the croc is croc,one of the only reasons you might see a conflict is if the hippos have young and the hungry or stupid croc thinks it is a easy target for lunch,and when hippos notice the little ones are under threat. The crocodile's defenses were no match for the angry hippo..


Crocodile attacked and killed by angry hippos


Illustration: Vaclav Silha, the Czech photographer, had set up his camera on the banks of the Grumeti river in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, to take snaps of 50 hippos bathing in the river.

Mutual respect between these animals means fights occur very rarely,But the peaceful scene can be break when someone try to mess up.. The price is death..You know the danger of Crocodile ,although Crocodile are ferocious predators, they don't mess with hippos.


Perhaps there is a lot easier prey out there to have,but Crocodiles have Armour-plated bodies made up of tough skin and "scutes" - bony scales on the outside of the body.You know what i mean,the skin just look so thick that even a night can cut through it,but they just know they can't mess with hippos,so do you..

Saltwater Crocodiles Vs Fresh Water Crocodiles

Fact about Saltwater Crocodiles


Basically on the surface of planet earth,we have two types of crocodiles, the freshwater crocodile,and the saltwater crocodile.Saltwater Croc is a true meat eater monster compare to freshwater Croc which mainly eats fish, and is not considered a danger to man.A Man eater Crocodiles.

The specie of Crocodiles are true dinosaurs , and have changed little in the evolutionary stakes over millions of years.

The Saltwater Crocodile can swim as far as 1,000 klms (620 miles) by sea to reach it’s destination.In times of extreme drought, it has also been known to travel across land many klms to find a safe waterhole to ensure it’s survival. Although it prefers salt water, it can survive quite readily in fresh water.That is the reason why some of the fresh water cror are so aggressive but the truth is they are Saltwater Crocodile who live in fresh water.


Crocodile diet consists of fish and small mammal's and birds, which venture too close or unwittingly near the waters edge.


Saltwater Crocodile spends most of it’s time resting and stay still in certain position,they put themselves in the water in summer to avoids the hot sun, hunting mostly during the cooler hours of the day.


When hunting for food, the usual procedure is to expose only it’s eyes and nostrils above the waterline until prey is spotted, then sinking without a ripple, swims effortlessly underwater and attacks it’s prey from underneath the water, lunging upwards.



When the prey is on the target area ,they can move with amazing agility and speed, will spring from the water and up onto the bank. Razor sharp teeth, and astounding jaw pressure ensures a firm grip on it’s prey, the salty then drags it’s hapless victim into the water and proceeds to go into the ‘death roll’, rolling over and over and in the case of larger prey, such as buffalo or cattle, dragging it’s prey underwater where it consequently drowns.



In order to eat it’s food, it’s impossible for the Salty to eat underwater, and food must be consumed on top of the water. A careful examination of the above photograph, you will notice a flap of skin at the back of the throat, this acts as a safety valve, closing whilst the mouth is open under water. This prevents it from drowning.

Selected Story 1:Dog suicide middle of the road

By: Phil in Thailand


I came upon this thread after observing dogs in Thailand first hand. Firstly dogs in Thailand behave very differently then in the US or Europe. They rarely bark. I've seen Thai men chase dogs out of their yards tossing objects at them with obvious intent to harm. Its a dog world here for dogs. It is obvious when I approach a dog here it is clearly nervous and there is no question that I am boss. The observation that led me to this thread was that some dogs lay down directly in the street. I saw one dog inching his way closer and closer to busy traffic. Today I saw perhaps for the last time one dog that was laying down right in the middle of the road. He didn't even look up when cars passed closely by. It was almost as if it wxnted to be put out of his misery. This particular dog appeared to be in ill health and was nothing but skin and bone.

It was a sad sight to witness.


Selected Story 2:Dog suicide hot spot 'nonsense'

By Gillian Harris, Scotland Correspondent

ANIMAL workers have rejected suggestions of a spate of dog “suicides” at a 40ft bridge.

Five dogs have jumped to their deaths in the past six months at the bridge at Overtoun House, Dumbarton, according to locals. The most recent was last weekend when an owner was unable to stop her dog leaping over.

Joyce Stewart, an animal behaviourist, said the deaths were abnormal as dogs were usually able to gauge the heights and depths they could jump. “If they know they are going to die they might go into hiding but I have never heard of them taking their own lives,” she said.

A spokesman for the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said: “Animals do not commit suicide. (This) shows the need for dog owners to keep their dogs under control. There is perhaps something over the bridge attracting the dogs’ attention.”

The bridge, over a tributary of the Clyde, lies within the grounds of Overtoun House, an A-listed baronial building currently run as a Christian centre. It was the scene of a family tragedy in 1994 when Kevin Moy threw his two-week-old son to his death believing him to be the Antichrist.


Selected Story 3:Cat die for his friend
By:glo

I definitely believe that animals can commit suicide. I have had 2 cats do it and I have been wondering if I were right or wrong in believing this so that's why I'm here on this website.

Over 4 yrs. ago we were ready to move from our house and my cat Toby didn't wnt to be put in his cat carrier so he escaped by running between my legs as I was opening a door to go outside and none of us could catch him so we let him go, knowing I would be back in 2 days to finish up after the move, so I left food and water out on the back patio so he would have something to eat.



When I came back in 2 days I found out from my daughter that he was dead on the side of the road and they had picked him up and taken him to a location outside of town. I made my daughter show me where he was and so I packed him up and took him to the new house and buried him out on a hill in beautiful surroundings.

Later, I saw his ghost in my house. He was just sitting there; no movement. Like he was reassuring me that he was with me always. Really strange I thought, but I was comforted by seeing him all the same.

When I turned away and then looked back, he was gone. I felt that he was just being his silly self that night that we moved and that he thought that we'd be back and so he was just playing around like he always did. Then when we didn't come back, I think he thought that we had abandoned him and it crushed him to be left alone so he did what he had to do if he thought we were never coming back; let himself get hit by a car.

He was an indoor-outdoor cat and he knew his way around very well outside and avoided cars driving by so I knew he was able to take care of himself and he didn't ever feel abandoned until we left so I believe he did commit suicide.

In Jan.2010 another loved cat got sick & we found out he had cancer. He was operated on but the vet said it would probably grow back. I decided to care for him hoping he'd survive.

He recuperated from the surgery but never was able to eat properly again (a tumor under his tongue) and then he got plugged up and couldn't have a bowel movement. He was in & out of the vet's office for 5 long weeks and finally had to make the decision to have him euthanized. It was extremely sad and painful for me. I'm still not over it.

He was not the 2nd cat to commit suicide. His buddy, SilentBob died yesterday from a car hitting him. Bob was pals with the sick cat and I'm sure he noticed when he was gone. Strangely enough, in the last week or so, I had noticed a black spot in the tooth area that had never been there before.

He was also showing no appetite for a day or two. (The cat that had died, T-Bone, had had a black spot in the same area) . I was going to take him to the vet but hadn't done so just yet.

Another sign that he wasn't being our AlphaMale cat around the house was that our youngest cat who is just under a year old, was scaring Bob off when she encountered him.
This NEVER happened ever. Bob was the "big man" in our household and the other cats bent down to him and never bothered him.

I figure that Bob had become ill and he didn't wnt to live that way especially after seeing his buddy T-Bone suffer the way that he did, so I think he went out and done himself in the quickest way to end his suffering rather than go the route that T-Bone went. Just my opinion. Bob was also very conscious of the cars around.

There weren't many that went by but whenever they did he'd run into the yard every time so I know it was no accident. Only his head was traumatized. The rest of him looked normal.

Impact of emotion happiness and Sadness To Animal

Just like everyone of us,animals also experience a profound feeling of sadness,it been proven by scientist who studying the behavior of wild and domestic animals that the degree of impact of emotion(happiness and sadness)are not much different to human.It proven (if you have a dog ,go look at your dogs tail when they happy..)



Animals are capable of pure sorrow when they lose someone close to them,of course I am not saying all animal has emotion and felling,the animals who give birth to live young,and most of these animal will possess specialized teeth,mammals placentals who use a placenta during gestation. These mammalian brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a beating heart,they are emotional animal!!!



There are about 5000 species of living mammals.You know?these amazing animals not only live on land, we can found them at sea, in the air, or even under the ground..Whales & Dolphins ,they are mammals,dolphins are highly social animals with large brains,they even show empathy towards one another,like some sort of love relational ship..

Most typical example of these animal are dog,cat,cow,So,if they having felling,emotion,does mammals consciously commit suicide under certain circumstances ?Do they know ,hate,angry when someone try to kill them?




Do any animals other than humans commit suicide?
Some people argue that animal has no intelligent ,they are lower grade that we can kill ,eat, abandoned,whatsoever.It has commonly been assumed that "we"are the only creatures that understand what is "happiness","sadness","playfulness","depressed",..etc.They don't even have a well-developed sense of self before we could even consider the idea that they might decide to voluntarily end their lives.

Quotes from amswer.com
via:http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_any_animals_other_than_humans_commit_suicide:

~ In order for an act to be classed as "suicide," the agent must know that what it is about to do will end its life. In order to have this awareness, the agent must also understand that it could exist in one of two possible states: alive or dead. These sorts of thoughts are far too abstract for any known animal to think, even the more intelligent non-humans like Chimpanzees, Bonobos, and Dolphins ~

Well,clearly there is nothing to do with "self awareness". Is it a case for an animal to commit suicide if they know that they will die at the end of reproduction. We see it with octopuses, salmon, Japanese foliage spider and even the male shrew. All of which willingly sacrifice themselves for the lives of their offspring, an i believe that they are aware of their impending fate as they are more in touch with their body systems than we are. So does the drive to reproduce overriding the will to live count as suicide.

I have seem people who abuse their pets,hunting and killing animal just for "fun",these people might think that they are just "animal"with no brain,low level creatures,life that doesn't have any value..Realize that animals have feelings too so ,try to act kindly towards all creatures now - even little ants and bugs (there are not your prisoner!!!!!!!).

Wildlife Facts-->Raccoons?

What you know about raccoons?

walking_raccoon1.jpg

You Know what Scientists say ? Scientists say that raccoons are as smart as primates.

Raccoons are extremely smart.Their ability to survive in town confirms that they do have "smart thinking".well, compare to those skinny snake..Whip-smart and curious, raccoons are resilient urban residents.

Habitat of Raccoons
Raccoons require habitat that has ready access to water and prefer to live in moist woodland areas . However, they can also be found in farmlands, suburban, and urban areas.

Raccoons prefer to build dens in trees, but may also use woodchuck burrows, caves, mines, deserted buildings, barns, garages, rain sewers, or houses,you name it. Raccoons can live in a wide variety of habitats from warm, tropical areas to cold grasslands..

raccoon feed.jpg

Common myth about Raccoon.
Some people might think they can contract rabies in the wild, the chances are no greater that any other wild animal. Another myth is that they always wash their food before eating, (kind of cute) which is not true either. It just a normal habit that when holding their food before eating.




Adopt a homeless wild raccoon?
If you think you can keep a raccoon as a pets,you should think twice before deciding to buy one of these cute little bundles,raccoons are wild animals,they are wild by nature and can be very hard to handle. 

This post bought to you By Drop it 2 blog.



Illustration:The footprint of Raccoon

Raccoon's Talent
Raccoons are excellent climbers and strong swimmers, although they may be reluctant to do so. Raccoons don't travel any farther than necessary; they travel only far enough to meet the demands of their appetites.

Human and Raccoons
Human activities destroy more and more wildlife habitat nowadays.And one of The Forgotten Victim is Raccoons .

As we destroy more and more wildlife habitat, we force animals like raccoons to come into closer contact with us and become an uninvited guest to your house.

raccoon eating.jpg

Human and Raccoons
Many conflicts occur between human and raccoons when raccoons searching for food or take advantage of cavities in human dwellings to raise their young. In much of the U.S. raccoons are hunted just to "protecting our(human) garden or backyard" .

What Should You Do
If you found uninvited raccoons in your garden or yard ,there's no need to panic or pay hundreds of dollars for trapping services because most problems can be easily resolved with some simple tricks with some household materials,just leave the raccoon alone and keep people and pets away from the animal.

If you feed your (lazy) cats or dogs outdoor, the solution is to feed you pets only at a certain time in the morning or midday, then take away any uneaten food. Don't worry about your dogs or cats,your pets will get used to the schedule and modify their behavior accordingly.When Raccoons find that there is no foods in your garden or backyard ,they most likely will leave you house just like that.


Save Raccoons
Raccoons are intelligent, fascinating animal ,stop over acting or try to kill them. They just a small animal that living on their own,they wont harm you and will go away after they get their food.You should aware that if you leave your pets food out there all the time, you will attract not only raccoons but other animals like snake!!!
