To finish up Responsible Pet Ownership month we take a look at two exotic pet species: parrots and bearded dragon. Just the sound of an annoying parrot squawk should be enough for you to think twice before brining one into your home. Parrots are social birds: macaws, conures, cockatoos, you name it they are gregarious. And when you bring one into your home you can bet that they are going to need some attention...did I say some, I meant LOTS! Think of them like a child...a two year old child b...

Happy (belated) Valentines Day!What is love? I don't know, I've been single for a VERY long time, but I do know how the barnacle and spotted hyena show their love...or urge to mate.

The domestic dog and domestic rabbit. What's the best breed of dog? Well, that's a matter of opinion. My opinion is my dog, Dolly, who just happens to be a mutt (half amazing, half terrific). If you are considering bringing a dog in to her home then consider...

What's in a name? Well, based on the history of the raccoon's scientific name we are somewhat accurate by calling the raccoon a trash panda! But raccoons are much cooler then pandas. And they are much better at surviving. We will find out what the hands of the raccoon has to do with their name and learn why the raccoon washes their food (and its not for the reason you think). The other animal of today's episode is the worm lizard, or Amphisbaenia (if you want to be specific). And we wil...
