Tasmanian Devil

Tasmanian devils are the largest meat-eating marsupials in the world. Tasmanian devils are known for being extremely vocal. When a Tasmanian devil feels threatened it may howl, shriek, lunch at its attacker, or spin around in circles.

Echidna

The Echidna is one of very few egg laying mammals. Echidnas don’t have teeth, so in order to eat they use pads of keratin on their tongue to crush their food against the roof of their mouth in order to make it into a paste. Echidnas are very slow, so their main methods of defense...

Dingo

The dingo’s head is the broadest part of their body and can turn up to 180 degrees in any direction. Unlike other dogs, dingos have flexible wrists, similar to humans, which allow them to better grab their prey and climb trees. They can leap over obstacles that are 6.56 feet (2m) high and run at...

Cassowary

Adult cassowaries have horn-like structures on the top of their heads called casques, which means “hat” in French. The casques are made out of keratin, the same material that rhino horns and human fingernails are made out of. No one fully knows the true purpose of these structures on top of their heads, but it...

Frilled Neck Lizard

The Frilled Neck Lizard, also known as the Frilled Dragon, gets its name from the ruff of skin it keeps folded behind its neck. When frightened the Frilled Neck Lizard stands on its hind legs and opens up its colorful frills to intimidate the potential threat. It’s thought that the frills may also help this...

Blue Tongued Lizard

Blue tongued lizards prefer to be alone and spend their time basking in the sun. When frightened, they stick their tongues out and hiss to scare away their predators. Because many poisonous animals have bright colors, this display by the blue tongued lizard is enough to deter predators because they think the lizard is dangerous....

Emu

The emu is the tallest and fastest land bird in Australia with a top speed of 31 miles per hour (50 km/h). Their speed is in part due to the fact that emus, unlike any other bird, have calf muscles. Emus’ legs allow them to have strides of up to 9.84 feet (3 meters) and...

Wombat

Wombats are the closest relative to Koalas, but wombats have much larger brains. This makes them the smartest of the marsupials. Wombats don’t sweat so when temperatures get too high they burrow to get away from the heat. They also cool down by applying saliva to their chest and front legs.

Yak

Wild yaks live in large herds with populations of several hundred individuals. These herds are mostly made up of female yaks and their offspring. Herds have a smaller number of males, so the ones who are not a part of a herd either are solitary or form small groups of about six with eachother.

Water Dragon

Seventy percent of the Water dragon’s body is made up of its tail which it uses to balance when jumping and climbing trees. Water dragons primarily live on trees along freshwater lakes and streams. When they need to escape from a threat, they jump down from the tree they’re on and into the water where...

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!
