Raccoons The raccoons are medium-sized mammals native to North America. The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability, they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. Recently, they have emerged in parts of Europe and Japan. In the wild, a raccoon has a life expectancy of about 2 to 3 years, but in captivity, a raccoon can live up to 20 years. Raccoon averages 61 to 96 centimeters (24 to 38 inches) in length and can weigh between 5.5 and 15.8 kilograms (12 and 35 pounds), depending upon habitat and available food. The most distinctive feature of the raccoon is the “bandit” like face mask around the eyes of […] Read more »

National Reptile Awareness Day A lot of us go absolutely crazy for furry animals, but let’s be honest, oftentimes we overlook—or even avoid—reptiles. They may not be as fluffy as the creatures we’re used to, but they’re just as important and deserving of recognition as any other species. Some of us may not be aware, but reptiles play a huge role in the ecosystem, and sadly, many of them are already on the brink of extinction. That’s why each year, on October 21, we celebrate National Reptile Awareness Day, a holiday where everyone is encouraged to learn about these wonderful […] Read more »

National Feral Cat Day Let’s face it—people love cats. In fact, according to the National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), there are currently 42.7 million cat owners in the United States. Pretty insane, right? However, the number of community cats, or feral cats, are significantly higher. There’s no way of telling exactly how many there are, but in 2018, the estimated total was around 58 to 70 million in the United States alone. Now, life isn’t easy for feral cats. They constantly have to defend themselves and fight for territory, as well as food. […] Read more »

Killer Whales Orcas are often called killer whales. Though they don’t typically attack humans, this name is still well-chosen due to the animal’s ability to take down large marine animals, such as sea lions and whales. In fact, orcas will prey on almost any animal they find in the sea, in the air over the water or along the coastline. To hunt, killer whales use their massive teeth, which can grow up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long. Size According to National Geographic, orcas are considered the largest species of the dolphin family. They weigh up to 6 tons (5,443 kilograms) […] Read more »
