2011 surprise animal is ... marsh rabbit!


2011 is here! In chinese zodiac, 2011 would be the year of the rabbit. So I chose to do the marsh rabbit as the animal to be the last animal this year. They live in dense marshes and move at night. It's hunted for sport. It's main food is switched cane. And it's color is a darkish brown.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

How many birds?




What do these birds have in common? They are all birds of paradise! There are three dozen species of these birds.You see the 1st bird above? It is performing a mating dance, showing of its power and skill (is THAT supposed to be attractive?!).That is all I know about it.

super cute!

The animal kid is back with the volcano rabbit! It is small (not surprising since it is the smallest rabbit in the world) but intresting! The young may eat solid food in three weeks. It also has no tail (weird!) . It lives in south america.

no parrot no peace

Well this bird is called the Eco parrot. This "eco friendly" parrot has unfortunatly decreased by 90% on the only known island where they live but luckily all the rest of these creatures have been captured and bred and there population is still rising today.

a gold kangaroo

This is the gold mantled tree kangaroo. I know it dosn't look like a kangaroo or gold color but I came up with the title by its name. So it is actually a member of the monkey-racoon family. ( If your angry this is all I know about it it is one of the least reasearched animals in the world! )

Your going to need a bigger boat!

All right when I say goblin shark you think I mean something out of a science fiction movie, right? Its actually a rare shark only found in australia, pacific ocean, atlantic ocean and gulf of mexico. Whats weird is it is not endangered. They eat deep sea fish, squid and crabs.
