Peafowl

 Peafowls are best known for the male’s extravagant, iridescent plumage. Peahens select the peacock they will mate with based on their train of feathers. The offspring of peacocks with more elaborate trains have been found to generally weigh more and better survive in their natural environment.

Chinese Pangolin

Pangolins’ bodies are covered in scales made out of keratin. These provide camouflage and function as armor, allowing them to curl up into a ball that not even a lion or tiger can break into. They can also escape from predators by climbing trees, digging burrows, or rolling down hills while tucked into a ball....

Milkfish

Milkfish have blue tops, silver sides, and white bellies that shimmer in the water. They don’t have teeth which leaves them only able to eat soft plants and invertebrates. Milkfish spawn in salty water and female milkfish can lay up to 5 million eggs in one night. 

Markhor

Markhors are the largest species of goat. They live on the steep hillsides of the Himalayas, spending their time in elevations up to 13,000 feet (3962.4 meters) during the summer. Male and female makhors both have beards and spiral shaped horns. However, females have thinner and shorter beards and their horns only grow up to...

Komodo Dragon

Komodo dragons are the largest extant species of lizards and dominate the ecosystems where they live. Their scales have tiny bones called osteoderms which function as natural armor. They rely on stealth when hunting, camouflaging, and waiting till the moment is right to pounce on their prey.

King Cobra

King cobra primarily live in swamps and forests. The venom from their bite is extremely poisonous, with one bite being enough to kill an elephant. That being said, they’re usually not very aggressive and tend to retreat when they feel threatened unless they’re protecting their eggs. When a cobra is alarmed, it expands its ribs...

Jerboa

Jerboas are small desert dwelling rodents which look sort of like miniature kangaroos. Like kangaroos, they move around by hopping and when they’re chased they can reach speeds of 15 miles (24km) per hour. Jerboas’ tails can be longer than their heads and bodies. They use it for balance when hopping and as a prop...

Japanese Macaque

Japanese macaques live farther north than any other nonhuman primate. They’re often called “snow monkeys” because of the remarkably cold climate they live in”. Macaques live in female headed societies where females stay in their family line for life and males leave once they reach adulthood. Females use grooming in order to maintain group cohesion...

Indian Star Tortoise

 The Indian star tortoise’s name comes from the yellow or tan lines that radiate from the center of each plate on their shell. Female indian star tortoises are much larger than males and males usually have longer, thicker necks. Their shape is thought to be adapted to help them return to a standing position after...

Indian Rhinoceros

The Indian rhino has thick brown-grey skin and a single horn on its snout. Their horn is made out of keratin, which is also what human fingernails are made of. This horn starts to show at age six and typically reaches a length around 9.8 inches (25cm) by adulthood.

Letter from Haibu

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!
