The Fin whale is an fairly endangered animal. They are very large whales, and the ones that live in the northern hemisphere can be around 60 feet. The ones in the southern hemisphere tend to reach closer to 70 feet. It is the same for males and females. Fin whales can be found in all the major oceans, with water temps polar and tropical. Though the Fin whale can live in different temperatures, they are found more commonly in colder climates. The only known predator of the Fin Whale is the killer whale, and even so, there are not many sightings of attacks. The Fin Whale is a baleen whale, and it eats only small fish, squid and other little crustaceans. The gestation period for a calf is 11-12 months.

Fun fact: fin whales can live up to 140 years!

Chausie

A pretty calm looking Chausie.

The Chausie can be three colors. Black, brown ticked tabby, and black grizzled tabby. They were bred from the wild Jungle cat. Males are usually 9-15 pounds, and females 7-10. These cats are very active and athletic, and like most cats, pretty intelligent. However, these cats do not like to be left alone, so either have a human companion or other cat with them.

What’s your inner animal?

If you have a cat, what type do you have?

Bengal Cat

This is a Bengal Cat.

The Bengal Cat is a hybrid of the leopard cat and a domestic cat. Cats that are generations below the hybrid, are gentle. They have wild looking marks, such as rosettes and spots, they have a light colored belly and look a lot like the leopard cat. The women who bred them did it because she thought that less people would shoot leopards for their fur, if their friends owned cats that looked like leopards.
