We definitely agree, don’t try this at home!

Have you seen a shark do this?

temp

This video shows how we’re always discovering new things about animals. This shark is in tonic immobility, a natural state of paralysis.
Shark researchers often use this technique to gather information about sharks.
It also provides for some pretty awesome animal interaction, although we do not suggest you try this!
Thanks to one of our friends on our You Tube channel for [...]

Pandas in the Wild

temp

A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the Chengdu Panda Research Centre in Sichuan, China. In fact, I went every day while in Chengdu, so fascinating were these Giant Pandas and their distant relatives the Red Panda, who are also at the centre. From the Giant Panda’s methodical stripping of leaves – one panda stripped [...]

A few too many – festive Vervet Monkeys

temp

It’s the festive season so we thought this video from the BBC’s animal show Weird Nature would be an apt way to bring in the New Year. These Vervet Monkeys on the island of St Kitts in the Caribbean have developed quite a taste for alcohol, so much so, they’ve even been the subject of [...]

The flight of the Bumblebee

temp

Animals never cease to amaze me. And one of the finest examples is the Bumblebee. Their systems of hive organisation and individual rank and role seem highly evolved for such a small creature. Add in the facts that bees can fly at speeds of more than 45 kilometres an hour, carry 90 per cent of [...]

Slow Motion Sunday – amazing animal video of rolling critters

In this clip from the BBC’s Weird Nature, we meet a salamander and a caterpillar with a great trick for getting downhill in a hurry. Why walk if you can roll?

White Collar – another great ad for dog rehoming

temp

Earlier in the week, we brought you an ad for the The Shelter Pet Project. So, to end the week, we thought we’d bring you another.
In this funny, 30-second TV ad, which aims to give shelter pets a voice, we hear a dog’s take on prison versus shelters! The reason this dog is carted to a rehoming centre is due to it’s dodgy [...]

Bonsai – another great ad – cats need rehoming too

temp

Although our first project is dog rehoming, did you know that it also supports cats? There’s been some pretty amazing research on dog rehoming published recently (with other studies underway). Some of these studies, by Australian researchers, assess the success of research-based dog rehoming programs, which concentrate on destressing techniques in shelters, owner/dog bonding and training and post-training and [...]
