        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.
NOTE: Please vote for what you thought of this week's animal at the bottom of the posts. I would very much appreciate it.

Weekly Video (5)


This week's animal is about
The Irrawaddy Dolphin 

I hope you enjoy this video!

Irrawaddy Dolphin Video 

   Some information on this video:
   This is a video that does not explain anything, but this small paragraph that can be found in the "About" area may help the understanding of what's going on,

   " From November to February each year, the murky waters in the estuary of the Bang Pakong River play host to the Irrawaddy dolphin. They come to give birth to their calves and you can see them early in the morning while they are feeding on the eel catfish."

   The song playing is NOT inappropriate. Here's a link to the song,

        The one on the right is female and the one on the left is male. It is hard to tell the difference between a male and female Irrawaddy dolphhin because the males are only slightly bigger than the females.

Comments From the Author

Where There's Litter, There's Death

         People should not litter! Where there's litter there's death! The U.S. produces 250 million items of trash a year on land only. Because of this, millions of animals and plants die every year just in the U.S. Litter kills animals, sea creatures, and even plants. Some people even call littering murder.
         Sea creatures can be harmed or even be killed by litter. Nine billion tons of trash are put into the oceans and seas a year! Many sea creatures die every year from lost nets, plastic bags, and even abandoned fishing poles. They mistake litter as other fish and attempt to interact with or eat the litter which causes them to get stuck and die of starvation or suffocation.
          Millions of animals die from litter in the U.S. They confuse plastic bags, wrappers, and common litter with prey or something to play with, and eat the trash. Sometimes the animals crawl in jars, bags, or bottles and get stuck; which, just like sea creatures, they will also die from starvation or suffocation.
         Litter poisons plants and affects the growth and development of them. Neighborhoods that have a large amount of litter are known to be uglier and less desirable mostly because the litter prevents plants from appearing. Also neighborhoods that keep their roads clean and have little litter have the opposite effect than dirty neighborhoods.
         If everyone would throw trash in waste baskets, recycling bins, and trash cans instead of littering, the world would be beautiful and safe. Animals and sea creatures would live cleaner and more secure lives, and plants would be in every neighborhood. If you want a world like that, YOU have to stop people from littering!
