Groundhog

Groundhogs are the largest species in the squirrel family. They dig long, complex burrows that can be up to 6ft (1.8 meters) deep, 20 feet (6 m) wide, and can have as many as a dozen entrances. They hibernate in these burrows during the winter. During hibernation, their heartbeat slows down to 5 beats per...

Reindeer

Reindeer are specially adapted for the cold tundra environment they live in. Their noses have developed in a way that warms the air before it gets to their lungs and some species’ knees make a clicking noise when they walk that allows herds to hear each other and stay together during blizzards. Both male and...

Coyote

 Coyotes are primarily nocturnal but can sometimes be seen during the daytime. They don’t typically form big packs like wolves do and instead prefer to hunt alone, in pairs, or as a family. Coyotes are very opportunistic. Even though they can dig their own dens they typically find another animal’s den and take it over...

Mountain Lion

Mountain lions have poor senses of smell but make up for it with their keen eyesight and excellent hearing that allow them to hunt in early mornings and late evenings. Mountain lions stalk their prey until the right moment to pounce and can leap at distances up to 45 feet (13m). Instead of eating their...

Red Tailed Hawk

Red tail hawks do their hunting from the sky. When they spot their prey, they swoop down, grab it with their talons, and eat it on their perch. Red tailed hawks have excellent eyesight and are able to see a mouse from 100 feet (30 meters) in the air.

Common Loon

The common loon's name was based on its clumsy awkward walk on land. Common loons have one mate that they stay with for their entire lives. They make a variety of strange noises from wails to yodels and are especially vocal during mating season when they’re defending their territory.

American Bullfrog

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 length.

Bobcat

Bobcats are nocturnal and sneaky, so they are pretty rarely seen by humans. They are able to live in a wide variety of environments including deserts, swamps, forests, and even suburbs. Bobcats primarily use stealth to hunt by hiding themselves from their target and waiting for the right time to pounce. Bobcats can pounce distances...

American Bison

The American Bison is the largest mammal native to North America. Despite their large size and stocky build,  bison can be very quick when they need to be, reaching speeds of up to 40 miles (64.37km) per hour. They can also spin around quickly, jump over high fences, and are strong swimmers.

North American Beaver

Beavers are very strong swimmers and are able to hold their breath underwater for up to 15 minutes. They are able to close their nostrils in order to prevent water from coming in and have transparent eyelids which they can see through while closed. Beavers build dams out of trees that they chop down with...

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!
