 How Does Learning About Animals, Help Save Them?

      Most of you probably wonder how learning about these animals can help save them. Well, that question it pretty easy to explain. This blog can stop poachers from even happening after seeing how horrible some things are that have been done to animals. This can also encourage younger viewers to do even more to help endangered animals all around the world! 

      I hope you all enjoy this blog and understand it's true meaning! If you have any questions about this, please comment on any post you'd like, I would love to help.

        You can't tell the difference between a male and female California condor by their appearance, they must be told apart through blood tests to be sure.

Did You Know?

Did you know that bats are the only mammals that can fly?

 

Any Suggestions?

        Does anyone have a suggestion for the weekly animal for week 7 or 8?

         I created this blog especially to help readers understand endangered animals better. There are pictures and information about different endangered animals varying from bats to elephants. Every week there will be an endangered animal of the week which will give extra information on that animal we also have a weekly video, a weekly did you know fact, weekly gender pics, weekly baby pics, a weekly reminder of a new week, a RASAP post that needs to be read as soon as possible, a post that let's my readers post their suggestions for the next animal of the week, and the Home post will be posted again fully updated. We will also post "Comments From the Author" to see the authors Ideas and point of views. Sometimes when more information on website related things happen we have a "Home News" added as a post. There is different pages named according to the type of animals it is about, "I'm Big Not Bad"  "Just Because I Have the Looks, Doesn't Mean I Don't Have a Heart"   "I have Hooves and a Heart"   "I'm a Mammal Just Like You" and "I'm a Bird not a War Plane"   Feel free to comment,but if you do please do not swear or use any kind of inappropriate language. This blog has valid information on these animals, so this can be used for school.

I hope this site helps the understanding of the problems of animals for all my readers.

Irrawaddy dolphins are able to mate when they are 7 - 9 years old. They mate from December - June. Female Irrawaddy dolphins are pregnant for about 14 months. She then gives birth to a one mete long calf that weighs about 22 pounds. The calf is weaned after 2 years.  Female Irrawaddy dolphins (or cows) give birth to only one calf every 2 - 3 years.        Freaky Facts:

Many people don't even know that Irrawaddy dolphins exist! Even though Irrawaddy dolphins are mostly harmless, they're closer related to killer whales than beluga whales! Irrawaddy dolphins communicate by using a series of clicks.
