The bullfrog’s name comes from the male’s deep, loud croak which some say sounds like a cow mooing. They make this sound to attract females and claim their territory. Bullfrogs are able to leap as far as 6 feet (2 meters) which is about 10 times their body...
Fire-Bellied Toads’ names come from their bright red, orange, or yellow undersides with spots of black. Their skin secretes a substance that irritates the eyes and mouths of any predators who come into contact with it. When confronted by a predator, they display...
Axolotl’s don’t go through the same process of metamorphosis as other salamanders. They keep their tadpole like dorsal fins and external gills and instead. They grow as they age but they don’t go through any other changes. If an axolotl injures or loses a limb, it...

Welcome to the wide world of me, Haibu! I’m so happy you found your way to my site - it’s always fun meeting new people. In fact, I’ve met a lot of new people in the past couple of years.
My best friend, Kanuux and I met on my crazy adventure in New York. He’s technically a seal but he’s a person in my mind. That might be because I can speak to animals like they’re people.
I met pretty much all the orphans at the Barrington House Orphanage in New York City but grew very close with Scotty, Olli, and Zeek. They’re always up for helping me help the animals but that’s only part of why I love them with my whole heart. They’re funny, courageous, empathetic, and my goodness I just appreciate them so much.
They helped me rescue Wiz, Eron, Bishop, and a bunch of other animals from a trafficking ship so now all of those animals are our friends too!
The connections that I have with my friends, both the animal and human kind, have helped me see the world with fresh eyes. I’ve seen the unique struggles and pain they’ve been through without losing love or hope in their hearts. I know that humans are all capable of love and getting along if we just take the time to listen to each other without judgment.
Everyone has a story, and everyone should feel safe sharing it. My friendships have shown me the potential our world has and that’s what I strive to make happen in my lifetime – animals and humans are meant to thrive together.
I hope we can be friends too and you can help me make this world a better place. If you haven’t checked out the world with all the fun animal content on the home page yet, get on it!
