Wild Animal Endangerment


Wild animals are beautiful creatures with varying sizes, colors, and habitats. Although some can be seen in zoos, the place they are meant to be is in their own environment. Unfortunately, animals such as whales, panda bears and sea otters, are not always safe in these places and are dying out. What is causing their threat of extinction? Several factors have an influence on this growing problem.

Wild boar hunting – a part of human history


Wild boar hunting has been around for thousands of years, from the Persians’ first attempt of slaying these creatures, but it has really become known in the medieval times when royalty and rich people used to hunt boars as a way of entertaining themselves and their guests. Over the years, wild boar hunting hasn’t lost any of its appeal and is now just as popular as it was in Elizabethan England, almost five hundred years ago. So what is it that makes hunting boars such timeless practice?

Best Places To See Wildlife In Nature

While a zoo definitely has it's place in animal watching, it doesn't compare to seeing animals in their own natural habitat. After a recent visit to Yellowstone National Park, this felt especially true for me. A traffic jam caused by young buffalo calves and their mothers crossing the road is an experience not to be missed. It made me wonder about other places that would be conducive to viewing wildlife in a natural setting. From my research I have come up with a list of some of the best places to visit if viewing animals in nature is your objective.

Top 10 Predators

Top 10 Predators
from http://animal.discovery.com/


No. 10 - Tarantula
Tarantula spiders are among the most feared animals on the planet, and with good reason. Not only are they giants, as spiders go, but they are such stealthy and skilled hunters that no small animal that wanders within their grasp stands a chance at survival. The typical hunting modus operandi for tarantulas is to be patient. They lie in wait for a hapless passerby and then pounce without warning. Because of their size, they can reach 5 inches in length with a 12-inch leg span; tarantulas are able to quickly subdue their prey and crush them with their large fangs. Finally, they shower their victim's body with digestive juices and then lap up the resulting fluid. Delicious!
