Fun Stuff For Animal Lovers - PetsLady.com

With the new STARS TV show, Da Vinci's Demons debuting this past week, Leonardo Da Vinci's fascination with birds in flight has once again come under scrutiny. Since the series is dubbed a "historical fantasy," there is only so much you can consider as fact. But one thing is certain, Da Vinci invested a lifetime distinguishing avian flight patterns.

I’m sure that no one wanted to tell the President of France: “Hey- Sorry someone ate your pet camel, but we’ll get you a better one! Promise!” Whoopsie!

Most of the cat sanctuaries in the world do not become tourist attractions. Those that do have something unique about them, such as being located in the ruins in Rome, or the former home of Ernest Hemingway in Florida. In Amsterdam the cat sanctuary that draws in the tourist trade is located on a houseboat in the Western Canal Belt.

While the massive southern elephant seal is an uncommon sight on beaches in the southern hemisphere, they are almost never seen playing in traffic. Almost!

This is one brave little bug!  He's not backin' down for nothin'!  The sheer bad-assness that this bug displays (plus her way cool ninja poses) make this video worth checking out.

I'm sure you've seen Dances With Wolves.  But Swimming With Elephants?  And what's really odd is that they look kind'a graceful in the water...

Everyone knows someone who is crazy about their dog and will dress them up in cute little (or strange little) outfits. Then there are the insane cat ladies. Now there is the tortoise addict and her inclination to crochet little sweaters or "cozies" for her reptilian pals. Not only that, she also makes them for sale. She donates 10% of the proceeds to International Reptile Rescue to help out her cold-blooded friends.

Again we have a great example of how modern special effects techonology and science can create a visually fantastic educational video.  In this case we're looking into a prehistoric predator known as the basilosaurus.  I wouldn't want to mess with this critter...

Once again we enter into one of those areas that really doesn't cross my mind.  Ostriches fighting each other has never entered my thought processes.  And its just plain weird looking as well....

While the two-party system would probably never consider changing their political icons, it's odd that very seldom (if ever) do you see one of our political figures riding either a donkey or elephant? And with the 21st Century well on its way and since both parties are often criticized for being stuck in the past, perhaps it's time for one of them to update their logo as a way to energize their base and motivate their constituencies.
