I have always wanted to take a trip to Hawaii…
As you know, my passion is wild animals and guess what it is I want to do when I’m on vacation in Hawaii…
See as much wildlife as I can! That’s what brings me joy!
Hawaii is the home of the spinner and bottleneck dolphins, as well as migrating Alaskan humpback whales, monk seals, and Hawaiian green sea turtles, just to name a few.
In the bird realm, the Albatross likes to nest in Hawaii, so there are Albatross chicks that get to first learn things about the world on the islands.

I don’t know about in your area, but in our area of Niagara Falls, Canada, the pet stores are putting their foot down!
When I went in to get fish food the other day, I noticed that their “resident” bunny that’s been there for a while was nowhere to be seen.
I always say hello to him before I leave because he’s just so darn cute!
I asked one of the girls where he went and she said that he was in back. I asked her why, and she said that they are not allowed to sell “seasonal” animals.
For a specified amount of [ ... ]

I was looking at some of our photos we have taken of animals over the years yesterday, and it hit me…
…I wanted to cry that these animals may not be here when my children go to see them on their adventures…
…They may never get to see them in their wildest state – in nature!
For many of you who have been an ExoticAnimalLover.com fan for some time, you’ll remember this photo, as it was the photo used in the header for the last theme we used for the site.
This is actually one of our own photos…but it sparked me…

I’ve never been so scared of a bird before…
In fact, I’ve never been scared of a bird before this!
When I lived in Western Australia, I was there to play softball. So, I jogged in the mornings each day.
The very first morning I went out through our neighborhood alone, I was shocked to see the amazing wildlife, parrots everywhere covering trees, a kangaroo or two, some kookaburras, some lizards and lots of flies! LOL…
…But there were these large birds called magpies, or “maggies” as their nicknamed there.
They are large like a big seagulls with pointy beaks, but are black and white [ ... ]

When I travel, you know what I want to see, don’t you?
I want to see the local fauna – The animals that make that part of the world special!!!
So, of course, when my hubby and I went to Kissimmee – Orlando for our honeymoon, that’s a good part of what we did!
We paid for some of the “nature” activities we did – like airboating to see alligators on the lake, parasailing to see the lake and surrounding area, and horseback riding the trails, where we saw a bunch of local animals, including our first Florida gator on our trip right [ ... ]
Have you ever heard about the plight of the sun bear, in particular, but some other species of bear as well?
They are put in a cage where they cannot move, their bile is continually drained from their stomachs through a permanent wound for their entire lives.
Often, each paw is harvested, while they are still alive, as a bear paw soup is ordered in many Asian restaurants.
So, they have the wound in their tummy with their bile being drained, and their paws are cut off one by one as they suffer in their cage that they can’t even move in…Are you [ ... ]
