Clouded Leopard

Contrary to their name, clouded leopards aren’t closely related to leopards. Instead, they’re thought to be an evolutionary link between big and small cats. They’re nocturnal and very shy, so they haven’t been seen enough to know much about their behavior. They are great climbers and can climb down a tree trunk head first and...

Caracal

Caracals live in very dry environments such as savannas and woodlands. They have adapted to these dry conditions by requiring very little hydration and being able to get all the fluid they need from their prey.  They also are able to cope with the heat by sleeping in burrows during the day and hunting in...

Binturong

No one knows the actual meaning of the binturong’s name because it comes from an extinct language. Despite often being called bearcats, binturongs aren’t related to bears or cats. Instead, they are part of the Viverridae family, a group of small to medium mammals including civets and genets. Like other Viverridea, binturongs have scent glands....

Bengal Tiger

Bengal tigers are one of the biggest cat species in the world. They’re great swimmers and one of the most water loving cats. Most bengal tigers are orange with brown or black stripes and white bellies and inner limbs, but occasionally one will be born with an all white coat and brown stripes. These tigers...

Asiatic Black Bear

Asiatic Black Bears, also called moon bears because of the white mark on their chest, spend half of their lives in trees. Their upper bodies are so strong that they can even climb up trees with broken hind legs. They primarily live in family groups typically consisting of two adults and two litters of offspring....

Asian Palm Civet

Asian Palm Civets are nocturnal, curling up in tree holes or rock crevices to rest during the day and searching for food at night. They spend most of their time in trees and have a preference for tall trees with dense canopies that provide more protection from predators. Their semi-retractable claws and fused third and...

Chinese alligator

Chinese alligators are smaller than American alligators and have bony plates on their bellies and eyelids which American alligators don’t have. They live in bodies of fresh water such as ponds, swamps, and slow-moving rivers. Chinese alligators dig burrows which they use to brumate in the winter and take shelter from the sun in the...

Bactrian Camel

Bactrian camels have two humps where they store fat to use for energy in case they have to go long periods without food. Their two sets of long eyelashes, lined ears, and closable nostrils help protect them from harsh winds and blowing sand. In the wild, bactrian camels typically live in herds with 6-20 members.

Red Kangaroo

Red Kangaroos have powerful hind legs that they use to hop at speed up to 43 miles per hour (69.2km/h). Newborn Kangaroos are born blind, hairless, and about the size of a jellybean. Once they’re born they climb up into their mother’s pouch where they will continue to develop for another 190 days before they...

Platypus

Platypuses have bills like ducks, tails like beavers, and webbed feet like otters. They’re one of only five mammals to lay eggs but mother platypuses still make milk like any other mammal. Because of their simple diets made up mostly of invertebrates, platypuses don’t have stomachs. Instead, their food travels straight from their esophagus to...

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!
