Choosing the Right Pet For Your Family – Rats and Mice
One thing I have learnt from years in the pet industry – people’s opinions of rats and mice is black and white; they either love ‘em or they hate ‘em! For this reason, double check with your family members if they are OK with you having one before you bring one home.
Each year more and more people choose to keep domestic rats or mice as pets. And why not? They are cheap to purchase, easy to maintain and take little time out of your day. And yet, they offer great companionship and attention and make very good pets for children.
What Do Crocodiles Eat?
That is a really good question because they will pretty much eat anything that moves or sparks their interest. Before this question is answered we must first understand what a crocodile is and where they are located in the world. Crocodiles are reptiles that live in tropic regions of the world. They are very snappy and extremely fast. Most can travel close to 70 Miles per hour. However, they are designed to be fast in short bursts. Any human should be able to escape to safety if they have survived the initial attack. They have approximately 68 teeth and their jaws are around 17 feet long. They are some of the oldest living species known to man and lived amongst the dinosaurs thousands of years ago.
Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia Decaocto)
Streptopelia decaocto, also known as the Eurasian Collared Dove is native to Asia. Though not a migratory bird, the Collared dove is rather fond of traveling; specialists call it invasive. This is due to the fact that over the past century, it has conquered all continents. As mentioned before, the Collared dove is native to Central and South Asia, from where it spread to other territories beginning in the 1900s. The Collared dove came to Romania around the 1920s and populated this area as well. Later on, it conquered Western and Northern Europe, reaching as far as Iceland or Norway, close to the North Polar Circle. It seems however that in this area it was not able to create a stable and numerous population. In 1970 it was introduced in the Bahamas, from where it spread to Florida, reaching the North American Continent as well. Specialists have been intensely studying this bird in order to determine the manner in which it manages to adapt to such different condition and integrate with the native bird populations.
