Or a conservation officer? Or a fisheries biologist? Many times you don’t hear those careers be mentioned, but […]

Smile! As humans we probably hear this and let our teeth beam for that family photo. But, would you feel the same if you’re a rodent with orange teeth? Or, would you have a mouth large enough to hold 50 teeth like the Virginia Opossum? Animal teeth, or the dentition (arrangement of the animals’ teeth) […]

Salamanders are some of the most secretive animals on the planet, and to be honest, most people never even see them. Their long bodies and short limbs support their lifestyle in damp conditions which helps them breathe- yes, […]
