Gazelles and deer are two hoofed animals that most of us often confuse with each other because of their similar slim builds and movements. However, they actually belong to different families. What is the difference between gazelle and deer? Gazelles are antelopes with permanent horns, while deer are cervids with antlers that shed and regrow.

We’re not exactly sure why Humpbacks sing, and 50 years of earnest research has eliminated more theories than it’s championed. “It seems the more we learn, the less likely our early ideas are correct,” said Jim Darling, a zoologist studying song across the North Pacific, particularly in the waters off Maui where Humpbacks breed through […]| The Wandering Rook
In 1976, mammologist Roger Powell watched a fisher kill a porcupine. Confronted with most predators – wolf, coyote, lynx, bobcat – the porcupine is unassailable. It needs only turn its back, allowing a rosette of 30,000 quills to protect its vulnerable face, and if the predator persists, it can tuck that face into any nook […]| The Wandering Rook
It was a little like chasing ghosts. Every trail was pulverized with fresh hoofprints, peppered with fresh dung and plastered with fresh mats of fur, as if a stampede had roared through only seconds before. I could even hear them at times, grunting methodically as they tore at grass somewhere within earshot, or moved in […]| The Wandering Rook
Thin blue glass. They have been relentlessly blue, and the ground is like bleached iron after our driest spring for decades. If nature was the product of a single instant, Surrey would be a desert.

Small grey paws on a hot shadowed road. That was over a decade ago now – meetings with the grey fox Urocyon cinereoargenteus, the cousin-that-isn’t to the red fox of the north.

It takes centuries to grow an ancient woodland. A springtime to grow blossom. Eight minutes for sunlight to reach Earth. Eight years for a white helleborine to turn from a seed into a wildflower.

My early grey wolf sightings were through glass. Wolves tease us that we know them. The wagging tail, the emotive greetings, the games with sticks – all so familar, thanks to their highly successful domestic descendant. But there is a restless edge, an aloof defiance. Wolves mesmorise, terrify and charm. They can be appallingly difficult […]| A Walk with Wildlife

February is National Pet Dental Health month! “Dental Health is important for many reasons. The most obvious is that dental abscesses, loose teeth, and bleeding gums hurt and we want to alleviate pain whenever possible. The less obvious reason is that tartar (the hard stuff on the teeth) is composed of bacteria. This chronic infection can cause heart disease, kidney disease, and insulin resistance.” - Dr. Anthony Ashley Dental health is very important for your pets’ overall health, an...| Chattanooga Zoo Crew Blog

I’ve been working with Maddie on animal classification for a while now. It’s one of those concepts you hit on a little every year. Third grade has been no exception! I decided to make this printable mammal worksheet aimed towards elementary-aged kids to help Maddie remember mammal characteristics/facts/etc. There’s a place where they can write down their favorite mammals and draw a little picture. Maddie chose to draw a furry Maine coon. Cats are by far her favorite animal!| learncreatelove.com
