Fancy Pants Pets
Friday, October 9th, 2009
Pet portraits are all the rage right now and for good reason. Animals are better than people. Though, I will say that said awesome animals run the risk of un-awesoming depending on their owner (for shame). But that’s not important right now. The point is, Valerie Leonard’s majestic vision, recreating famous classic paintings starring our [...]
ZooBorns
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009Maybe it’s because I was accustomed to playing with Littlest Pet Shop toys as a kid, but this one might hurt. The first thing I was greeted with this morning when starting my daily research routine was a slide show on the Telegraph of baby animals born in zoos. It was so awesome that I [...]
Anteater Drinks Out Of Glass
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009Here’s a follow up to that anteater who ate his cheez whiz with a spoon from last spring. Looks like he’s made his way from the silverware to the glassware. What a social climber! At this rate he’ll be rubbing elbows with Monaco’s royalty in no time.

TMNT Poodle – Animal Cruelty Like Whoa?
Friday, December 5th, 2008Hey man, I love cute animals and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as much as the next guy, but there are just way too many things wrong with this horrifying image. Apparently this woman has quite a track record of humiliating her poor dog. I would like to propose a mission for the lot of you. [...]
Rhino Attack Training
Friday, October 31st, 2008How does one train for a possible attack from one of the many unpredictable animals in captivity, the rhino? By dressing up as a rhino and chasing down some zoo keepers, obviously. At least that’s what they do in Japan. So remember tonight while you drink and eat candy, decked out to the nines, that [...]
Python Engulfs Zoo Owner’s Head – Zoo Owner Got To Keep It
Monday, October 6th, 2008German zoo owner Renate Klosse got to experience just how dangerous a Tiger python can be when she was cleaning out the cage of Antonia, the 24 year old snake who stretched 12 ft long. Like snakes like to do, the feisty lass unhinged her jaw and lunged for Renate’s face. Renate, having more tuned [...]
Conjoined Fish Twins
Sunday, October 5th, 2008We’ve seen some two headed animals before, but here is a set of twins that are actually conjoined at the stomach. While this isn’t the rarest of occurrences, stumbling across such a set isn’t too likely as conjoined twins would be more likely to die before being discovered. These Nile Tilapia twins however, are still [...]
Yoda – A Cat With Four Ears
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008No, you’re not seeing double. That is legitimate living, breathing cat with 4 ears.
Yoda’s extra ‘flaps’ are separate to the base of his skull, with one placed slightly behind the other. ‘The vet had never seen anything like it before,’ explains Valerie. ‘He immediately went to the internet and found the four-eared cat in Germany…
‘We [...]
The World’s Smallest Cutest Snake
Monday, August 4th, 2008
A new snake has been discovered in the Caribbean island of Barbados, taking the title of the world’s smallest snake. That’s quite a feat considering there are about 3,100 known species of snake. Then again it’s not much of a surprise as this new discovery is small enough to curl up on a quarter. This [...]
Octopus With 96 Tentacles
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008Shown above is a preserved octopus that had only survived 5 months after being captured back in December 1998. It is on display at a permanent exhibit at the Shima Marineland Aquaium in Shima, Japan. Don’t even try to start counting up all 96 tentacles, or you might hurt yourself. You see, what really makes [...]
Octopus – The Master Escapist
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008How smart is an octopus? Much smarter than you may think. While recently researchers seem to be having lots of fun with these swimming brains with 8 tentacles and through maze and problem-solving experiments it’s becoming apparent that the octopus has both a short and long term memory. That will probably come in handy with [...]
Octopuses Get Rubik’s Cubes
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Us humans favor one of our arms over the other. Springfield wouldn’t have the Leftorium if we didn’t. Now researchers want to see if the same goes for the more favored of the 8-legged creatures, the octopus (sorry, spider). At the Weymouth Sea Life Centre, researchers are giving octopuses Rubik’s cubes to see if they [...]
‘N Sync Was Right About The Jellyfish
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Over the past 8 years the jellyfish population has multiplied to an astonishing number. Apart from being mean, stingy, squishy animals, the jellyfish are a pretty strong reference to the state of the ocean’s ecosystem. The problem? More jelly fish means less other animals.
Data collected from over two centuries indicate that jellyfish populations expand over [...]
Animal Nose Cups
Friday, June 13th, 2008Many months ago, I posted the Pick Your Nose party cups back when the Daily Dairy was exclusively on Gamervision. So now that I’ve got a bigger room I think it’d be appropriate to bring this story full circle. In a time where a nose job is just another day in Southern California, you’d be [...]
And This Little Piggy…
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Debbie and Andrew Keeble grew weary when they noticed that their farm’s piglet was afraid of mud. Mud being an important element to the piggy lifestyle, they knew it was important to get this little girl in there somehow. Their solution? After discovering that a pair of plastic boots from a Paddington Bear toy were [...]
