It's spooky time!

Oi oi oi!

So informative

Spiders are actually pretty cute...

Side effects include arachnids

To eat meat or to not eat meat; that is the question. As Thanksgiving comes and goes this weekend, it's natural that dietary needs and restrictions come up as topics for debate. Some animal fans think being a vegetarian or a vegan is a requirement for being an animal lover . Others believe that since animals kill and eat each other, and because human beings are animals themselves, eating meat is a non-issue. I think we can all agree that the way the meat industry treats and kills animals is not…

Did you still believe this?

If I'm being honest, Russell from Up (2009) deserved far more than just a wilderness explorer badge for his adventures with Carl. That child was a friend to the elderly and the animal kingdom more than most of us could dream of being. He had the explorer's spirit, and he did something about it. He befriended birds and dogs alike and stood up to a freaky old guy in defense of his nice old guy friend. Most of us will probably never reach such an advanced state of wilderness exploring. Sure, we ma…

I have a question for you. Do you like animals? If you answered yes, I have a second question for you. Do you like animals that aren't just cats and dogs? If you answered yes to both of these questions, congratulations. You will probably enjoy the animal memes that lie before you. Sometimes I think about what it means to be an animal lover, and I think I've cracked the code. In the world, there are animal lovers , and then there are pet lovers. Some people are literally addicted to having a dom…

I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty at some point. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome and perfectly wholesome family. I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin , aka The Crocodile Hunter. I would trade my boring non-regional American accent for that authentic Aussie twang in a heartbe…

The crazy thing about animals when you break it down is that they are truly just freaky little guys. It’s wild that we walk the earth with them but at the same time it just makes sense. some animals like spiders and aquatic life are the creepiest closest things we’ve got to aliens on earth

It's my firm belief that spiders are judged too harshly. The eight-legged creatures are straight-up maligned and misunderstood! While I can understand that people get the heebie-jeebies from the arachnids, can we just talk about how cool they are (when they aren't deadly)? First of all, spiders kill bugs we hate. Bugs that cause disease and discomfort, like mosquitos, and bugs that are just plain gross, like cockroaches and earwigs. They are our allies, y'all. Spiders are also freaky. If they w…

It’s very easy to have a knowledge of Animal Kingdom on a very superficial level. You go to your local zoo, you see the zebras, and you think you know something. If you’re a regular viewer of Animal Planet or the Discovery Channel, you might feel a little bit superior to the rubes who called themselves the next Steve Irwin. Unfortunately, neither of these groups truly compare to the real hobbyists. Do you know the kinds of people we can look at a prehistoric fish thing and tell you it’s genus,…

“If the spiders don't kill you, the birds will…”
