Puppy Scares 3 Bears From Backyard

WYCKOFF, N.J. (Aug. 25) - If only Goldilocks had a cockapoo.

A 15-pound cocker spaniel-poodle mix named Pawlee scared off a mother bear and her two cubs Sunday morning after they strayed into his owners' backyard.

Whether his bark was worse than his bite, Pawlee's tactic worked just fine. These three bears got the hint and took off.

"We had just let him out for the morning and he ran into the yard and started barking his head off," owner Fran Osiason said.

Osiason said her 9-year-old son, Jacob, went outside to see what the commotion was about and came running back in to report there were bears in the yard.

She was worried that the mother would come after Pawlee to protect her cubs, but the pugnacious pup, just 8 months old, had other plans.

His barking drove the two cubs up a tree, and they eventually climbed down and hopped over a fence with their mother and retreated into the woods.

Osiason said she, her son, husband Andrew and daughter Eden, 6, have had Pawlee since he was about 8 weeks old. She marveled at his fearlessness.

"He's a little fur ball," she said.

Northern New Jersey seems to breed feisty pets: In 2006, a tabby cat named Jack chased a bear up a tree in his West Milford yard.

Bears are not uncommon in Wyckoff, but Osiason said her family has lived there for about 10 years and had not seen any until Sunday.

With Pawlee on guard, they might not see another one anytime soon.

Not only do YOU not mess with the "mob" in New Jersey, YOU don't mess with the puppies either. Forget Goldilocks, this little pup Pawlee had something for the three bears.

Golden Retriever Saves The Day

Golden retriever adopts tiger cubs at Kansas zoo

A dog at a southeast Kansas zoo has adopted three tiger cubs abandoned by their mother. Safari Zoological Park owner Tom Harvey said the tiger cubs were born Sunday, but the mother had problems with them.

A day later, the mother stopped caring for them. Harvey said the cubs were wandering around, trying to find their birth mother, who wouldn't pay attention to them. That's when the cubs were put in the care of a golden retriever, Harvey said.

Harvey said it's unusual for dogs to care for tiger cubs, but it does happen. He said he has seen reports of pigs nursing cubs in China, and he actually got the golden retriever after his wife saw television accounts of dogs caring for tiger cubs.

Puppies take about the same amount of time as tiger cubs to develop, and Harvey said the adoptive mother just recently weaned her own puppies.

"The timing couldn't have been any better," he said.

The mother doesn't know the difference, Harvey said. He said the adopted mother licks, cleans and feeds the cubs.

The Safari Zoological Park is a licensed facility open since 1989 and specializes in endangered species.

It has leopards, lions, cougars, baboons, ring-tailed lemurs, bears and other animals. It currently has seven white tigers and two orange tigers.

Because whit tigers are inbred from the first specimen found more than a half-century ago, they are not as genetically stable as orange tigers.

The zoo's previous litter of white tiger cubs was born April 23, although one of the three has since gone to a private zoo near Oklahoma City.

This is a really cool story. Once again, it shows that dogs are not only man's best friend, but they can be other animals best friend also.

Kamchatka Brown Bears Kill/Eat 2 Guards

Bears besiege Russian mine after killing guards

Terrified workers at a mining compound in one of Russia's most isolated regions are refusing to go to work after a pack of giant bears attacked and ate two of their colleagues.

At least 30 of the hungry animals have been seen prowling close to the mines in northern Kamchatka in search of food, where the mangled remains of the two workers, both guards, were found last week.

The co-workers at the compound in the Olyotorsky district are trapped and frightened: the gruesome discovery has left them too scared to venture out. A team of snipers, with orders to shoot the bears, is now being dispatched to confront the invasion after government officials authorised an off-season hunt.

A spokesman for the local government in the capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, said that the area was so isolated that it would take until at least Saturday to get there. Attempts to reach the scene by helicopter had to be abandoned because of thick fog.

The Kamchatka brown bear is one of the world's largest, with males growing to around three metres (10ft) and weighing up to 700kg (1,540lb). They can also reach speeds of up to 30mph (48km/h) despite their size.

The peninsula, nine timezones east of Moscow and twice the size of Britain, is home to an estimated 16,000 bears.

They are generally peaceful and feed on salmon in Kamchatka's rivers. Environmentalists argue that widespread poaching has caused a fish shortage, prompting the starving bears to become aggressive as they seek out food close to human settlements.

Their arrival has paralysed work at platinum mines owned by the Koryakgeologia company. Geologists refused to leave their compound in Mount Ledyanaya after 20 bears were seen wandering around, while at least 10 animals were spotted at nearby Penisty.

“In the interests of safety they didn't come out to work — the people are scared by the invasion of bears,” a spokesman for the Kamchatka emergencies ministry said. Villagers in nearby Khailino are also afraid to leave their homes after bears were seen rummaging through garbage.

The local administration appealed to the regional government to sanction a hunt to protect residents. Many villagers in Kamchatka hunt bears in the autumn and store their meat for food in winter.

Opinion is divided over how many bears should be killed to prevent further incidents. Viktor Leushkin, a village official, told the Itar-Tass news agency: “These predators have to be destroyed. Once they kill a human, they will do it again and again.”

Experts argue that a mass slaughter is unnecessary and that the snipers should concentrate on isolating the two or three bears whose tracks were found close to the mutilated bodies of the guards.

They believe that the other bears can be frightened away from the settlements and forced back into the forest to hunt for something to eat, although this could prove problematic as the creatures are much more willing to scavenge for food in towns than before.

Kamchatka is not alone in facing problems with hungry bears. The mutilated remains of a man were found last month after he was attacked on nearby Sakhalin island, the third person killed by a bear this year. This month a young bear was found prowling the streets of the city of Nizhny Novgorod after it escaped from the local zoo. Residents reportedly fed and played with him before zoo keepers retrieved the animal.

Last month a woman was mauled to death by a bear that had ventured into the suburbs of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka.

For a long time, I always believed that sharks were pretty much the "nasty boyz" of the planet. To an extent, they still are. However, they have serious competition which to many, relegates sharks to second place. Bears should actually have the top spot. Not only are they as nasty as sharks when they want to be, but, they are superior to humans in a face to face matchup. Unless YOU have a weapon and get the first look, YOU cannot compete. These bears can outrun, out swim, out climb humans. AND, they can out think most people. YOU do NOT want a confrontation with a smart, nasty, hungry carnivore like these bears. YOU will lose!

You know, they have a bear hunting season in this area. People hunt the bears for their meat and skins for the winter. So, as far as I'm concerned, "this is tit for tat".

Wolves Protected Again From Idiot Humans

Judge Restores Protection for Wolves

BILLINGS, Mont. (July 19) - A federal judge has restored endangered species protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies, derailing plans by three states to hold public wolf hunts this fall.

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy in Missoula granted a preliminary injunction late Friday restoring the protections for the wolves in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. Molloy will eventually decide whether the injunction should be permanent.

The region has an estimated 2,000 gray wolves. They were removed from the endangered species list in March, following a decade-long restoration effort.

Environmentalists sued to overturn the decision, arguing wolf numbers would plummet if hunting were allowed. They sought the injunction in the hopes of stopping the hunts and allowing the wolf population to continue expanding.

"There were fall hunts scheduled that would call for perhaps as many as 500 wolves to be killed. We're delighted those wolves will be saved," said attorney Doug Honnold with Earthjustice, who had argued the case before Molloy on behalf of 12 environmental groups.

In his ruling, Molloy said the federal government had not met its standard for wolf recovery, including interbreeding of wolves between the three states to ensure healthy genetics.

"Genetic exchange has not taken place," Molloy wrote in the 40-page decision.

Molloy said hunting and state laws allowing the killing of wolves for livestock attacks would likely "eliminate any chance for genetic exchange to occur."

The federal biologist who led the wolf restoration program, Ed Bangs, defended the decision to delist wolves as "a very biologically sound package."

"The kind of hunting proposed by the states wouldn't threaten the wolf population," Bangs said Friday. "We felt the science was rock solid and that the delisting was warranted."

Bangs said government attorneys were reviewing Molloy's court order and would decide next week whether to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Federal and state officials had argued killing some wolves would not endanger the overall population - as long as numbers did not dip below 300 wolves. With increasing conflicts between wolves and livestock, they said public hunts were crucial to keeping the predators' population in check.

This is the best story I have seen in a long time! Thankfully, somebody had the where with all to step up and do the right thing with these magnificent creatures that are so highly regarded by souls who have awakened and realize their importance in the grand scheme of things.

Instead of trying to hunt and kill something, why don't YOU gun happy geeks in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana try to figure a way for all concerned to live in the same environment without killing one another off? Oh, I know, "that would be too much of a mental challenge for YOU". There are alot of things that I know that I have no idea why I know them, but, I do. I do know that all of the animal inhabitants of this world will be here long after most, if not all, humans. "They were here first, they will be here last."

Thank YOU Judge Donald Molloy,

Bears And Snakes, Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Bear Attacks Camper Sleeping in Tent

HELENA, Mont. (July 18) -- A bear attacked a person sleeping inside a tent early Thursday, leading authorities to close two campgrounds near Yellowstone National Park.

The camper suffered bite and claw marks on his arms while protecting himself. His name and age weren't disclosed. Authorities said he was taken to West Park Hospital in Cody, Wyo., which refused to release any information.

As a precaution, the U.S. Forest Service closed the Soda Butte campground, where the camper was attacked, and the nearby Chief Joseph campground, both in the Gallatin National Forest. The sites are along U.S. 212, a few miles from the northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park.

Forest spokeswoman Marna Daley said the bear was believed to be a grizzly. She didn't know how many people were evacuated from the campgrounds.

The camper apparently had stored his food properly, Daley said. She didn't know if he was camping alone.

The Forest Service said in a statement that the campgrounds will remain closed "until the bear is located or the immediate concern subsides."

The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks will decide how to deal with the bear. In previous cases, problem bears have been relocated to more remote areas.

Woman Finds 8-Foot Snake in Washer

GORHAM, Maine (July 17) - A woman got the shock of her life when she found an 8-foot snake mixed in with clothes in her washing machine. The snake, identified as a reticulated python, somehow got into the water pipes of Mara Ranger's 1800s-era farmhouse and slithered into the machine.

After Ranger took her blue jeans out of the machine Wednesday, she reached back into the load and felt something move.

"I jumped back and all of sudden its head starts coming out of the washing machine and it looked huge," Ranger told WMTW-TV.

Ranger quickly closed the lid and called police and an animal control officer, but they didn't want anything to do with the serpent.

When Richard Burton, who operates Maine Animal Damage Control in Lewiston, arrived at Ranger's house, he could barely believe his eyes. Woman Finds 8-Foot Snake in Washer - AOL News

What can I say, "camping, without 4 walls, air conditioner, bathroom and room service presents dangerous circumstances sometime". Not only with bears, but, crocodiles, snakes, gators, big cats etc. "Hey, it's their turf".

As far as snakes in the washing machine, "WHAT"!!!

Siberian Husky Info For Wannabe Owners

Let me start this post off by saying, "if YOU are not a strong willed, intelligent alpha male type human", then DO NOT read any further. Stop thinking about owning a Siberian. Your new family member would dominate YOU and, be smarter than YOU.

Siberian Husky Breed Information

Breed Group: Working

Weight: male: 45-60; female: 35-50 lbs

Height: male: 21-23.5, female: 20-22 inches

Color(s): All colors from black to pure white

Coat: The Siberian Husky has a medium length double coat. The under coat is dense and soft in texture. The outer coat is longer and coarse with straight guard hairs. Their coat comes in a variety of colors and patterns. The most common colors are black and white, gray and white, copper red and white, and pure white. The facial markings include masks and spectacles. The Siberian Husky is a constant shedder that totally sheds the undercoat twice a year.

Overview: The Siberian Husky originated in northeastern Siberia as an endurance sled dog. In 1909 large numbers of this breed arrived in Alaska to participate in sled racing. The Siberian Husky's endurance, stamina, and strength quickly made them a popular breed in the Arctic region.

Character: The Siberian Husky is a compact and strong working dog. They are able to withstand temperatures as low as 75 degrees below zero, so are best suited for cooler to cold climates. They display a measure of dignity and reserve. The Siberian Husky is an amiable companion and willing worker.

Temperament: The Siberian Husky has an affectionate, gentle, and friendly disposition. They are alert and eager to please. They are highly intelligent and have an independent spirit, which can sometimes be a challenge to their owner. This versatile breed gets along very well with children and other medium sized dogs. However, their strong predatory instinct makes them dangerous to cats and other small pets. The Siberian Husky thrives in a family environment but does not become overly attached to one specific person. They will exhibit no fear or suspicion of strangers. They are not well suited for a two career family and require attention and companionship. They prefer to live in packs.

Care: The Siberian Husky is by nature clean and free from body odor. They require daily brushing to minimize excess loose hair, tangles, and mats. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary with a mild shampoo. The Siberian Husky is prone to hip dysplasia, cataracts, and skin allergies. It is extremely vital that they do not become overheated.

Training: The Siberian Husky is highly intelligent but has a mind of its own. They will only obey a command if they see the point of it. They respond best to patience, consistency, and fairness. They will quickly take advantage of an owner that doesn't let them know who the boss is. They may be difficult to housebreak. The crate training method is recommended. They will do well with early obedience training.

Activity: The Siberian Husky has an innate and deep desire to run. They do best with a large securely fenced yard. If they are left alone for extended periods of time they will become bored which leads to digging and destruction. They make excellent walking and jogging companions provided they are very securely leashed and the climate is not too hot. The Husky is not recommended for apartment dwelling unless they are exceedingly well trained and sufficiently exercised.

Ownership: If you are looking for Siberian Husky puppies for sale from reputable Siberian Husky breeders or to adopt a Siberian Husky from a Siberian Husky rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can. Every puppy breed is different. Begin your research by reading the breed information about the Siberian Husky puppy above.

If, after reading the above, YOU decide YOU want a Siberian, good luck and love with your new family member.

Alligator Attack, Bear Be-friended, Stupidity Is Rampant

Florida Teen Loses Arm in Alligator Attack

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. (June 24) - A Florida teen who was attacked by an 11 1/2-foot alligator lost his arm, but managed to escape with his life after poking the animal in the eye.

A sheriff's office report says Kasey Edwards was hanging out with friends beside a canal in Okeechobee County on Sunday when he decided to go swimming.

Halfway through the swim, an alligator clamped down on his left arm. Edwards says he fought back by grabbing onto a buoy line and not letting go. He then poked the animal in the eye to get free.

As Edwards began to swim away, he noticed that his left arm was missing. Friends pulled him to safety and he was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Communicating From The (Croc)Egg

Baby Crocs Communicate Before Hatching

The sounds "umph, umph, umph" might not resonate with you, but for baby crocodiles still in their shells, they are telling mom, "Let us out!"

Biologists have known that shortly before hatching, crocodiles make noises within their eggs. A new study, which involved playbacks of the pre-hatching calls, reveals these calls from the egg tell siblings it's time to hatch and tell moms it's time to uncover the nest.

Researchers Amélie Vergne and Nicolas Mathevon of the Jean Monnet University in France monitored Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) eggs that were due to hatch within 10 days. The eggs were placed into one of three groups, for which the researchers either played recordings of pre-hatching calls, recordings of noise (other than the calls), or no sound.

The group of eggs that got a dose of real croc calls responded and moved, as the about finger-sized babies jostled about, more often than the "noise" eggs. The eggs incubated in silence showed no movement.

All four of the individuals that successfully hatched in the croc-call group did so during or within 10 minutes of the playbacks. The pre-hatchlings in the noise group broke through their shells no less than five hours after the last playback.

After the eggs hatched, the moms-to-be stuck around to continue their nest guarding. The researchers found the female crocodiles responded to pre-hatching playbacks coming from loudspeakers hidden underground near the now-empty nests.

The female adults more often turned their heads or moved after egg sounds than after noise, and eight of the 10 mothers began digging in response to pre-hatching calls. (The nests are covered with soil during the months-long incubation.)

The Nile crocodile, Africa's largest croc can grow to about 20 feet (six meters) long and weigh up to 1,650 pounds (730 kg). Due to lethal human run-ins, the Nile crocodile has been labeled a vicious man-eater, but when it comes to parenting, these predators are nature's nurturers. Unlike many reptiles whose parenting responsibilities end once the mother lays her eggs, Nile croc moms vigilantly watch over their underground nests for about three months and even continue mothering for a period after the eggs hatch.

And so the researchers say the little grunts from inside the egg are likely critical to the early survival of the young crocodiles. The baby calls could attract attention from predators, the researchers say, making it important for all eggs to hatch at once so they receive care and protection from parents.

Some birds also vocalize to mom while inside their eggs, the researchers say. And so they speculate such acoustic communication at an early stage of development may be a shared behavioral feature of past and present archosaurs, a large group of animals that includes today's birds and crocodiles along with the now-extinct dinosaurs, pterosaurs and early croc relatives.

The study, detailed in the June 23 issue of Current Biology, was funded by the French Ministry of Research and the University Institute of France.

Only uninformed, asleep ignorant people think "animalz are stupid". Bet my baby croc is smarter than your rugrat. Listen, all of these animalz have not been around for thousands and millions of years because they were "stupid".

Baby Crocs Rule,

Akua, Our Siberian Husky Family Member

Akua

Well, it is officially summertime here in Florida. Ninety degrees, hazy hot and humid everyday. Seventy degrees sticky and muggy every night. So, with the weather being like that, my other family members decided I needed a haircut. Not too mention the fact that I was shedding waaaay too much and my wonderful female human Mary, was spending far too much time sweeping up my dog hair.

I think my hair is a little too short, but, I'm good with that. I do spend most of the time in a nice climate controlled air conditioned house. However, if I were outside all the time and in the sun, this "short" hair could present a problem. Our hair/fur actually keeps us cool and protected from the suns rays. Humans, remember that when YOU have your family member get a haircut. If they are outside animals, exposed to the sun, "don't cut their coat too short".

Happy Summer,
