Fish Oil Vs Krill Oil - What's the Difference?
There are reports saying that there is a new omega 3 supplement in town to challenge the highly respected and reliable oil supplement - that new product is krill oil. But is there really much difference? Let's look at more about the fish oil vs. krill oil debate and know the facts. It has clearly established its prowess as a supplement. In hopes to make the most out of the health benefits omega 3 in it can provide, research studies have been performed to come up with supplements that are more potent and will give more omega 3. Recently, it has been found that there might just be another source that can give as much or maybe more omega 3 than it. This has lead some to say krill is some kind of...
Whale Jumps On Boat
A whale caught a couple of whale watching in South Africa when he suddenly jumped out of the sea, the boat, the destruction of the mast, then back into the sea! You can see stunning images of the moment this is done, these photos were taken by a tourist from Botswana. "We have seen about 100 meters and I thought that was the end," said Werner Paloma, who was in the boat with his friend, Ralph Mothes. Then, suddenly, he was just beside us. " "We were lucky to get through it, because the weight of the thing was huge," said Werner. It was a Southern Right Whale, an endangered species that are known to have vision problems. Is this the reason why the whale jumped ship? No one knows why whales do...

Animal Science Jobs Including Zookeeper Careers, Biologists and Ecologists
If you love animals and you also enjoy(ed) studying science in school, a career in animal related science might interest you. But before you get out your lab coat and protective eyewear, note that there's a vast array of careers in this field that goes far beyond a laboratory or microscope. In fact, other than a career in ecology or biology, most of the careers in this area of expertise have only two things in common-working with animals, and a background/education in science. Biology focuses on animals (both endangered and not) and natural habitats/vegetation, studying everything from raptors, to endangered amphibians and other animals, to protected trees and grasslands/wetlands. Biologists also...
Visiting Quebec on Your Next Road Trip

Bordered by the Maritime Provinces to the east, in Quebec you'll discover a pleasant balance between urban adventures in cities like Montreal and Quebec City, and outdoor beauty of Cote Nord and the Gaspe Peninsula.

Here you'll find The Laurentians, a pleasant introduction into the Canadian countryside with these rolling hills and mountains. Actually, with its highest peak topping out at just over 3,100 feet (Mont Tremblant), these hardly qualify as mountains, rather foothills similar to the Catskills in New York State. Although not as intimidating as the rocky...
Drive Along the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River
Rte. 138 on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence River is known as the Whale Watching Trail. Thirteen species of whale visit the North coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence during the summer months in search of plentiful plankton.

For a distance of forty miles on either side of the fjord is Parc Saguenay, a Provincial Park of Quebec. This is an excellent place to...
A Roundabout Experience - Cape Town Car Rental
In my personal opinion the best way to travel is by car. So when my friend, Greg, and I decided to go on a trip down to Cape Town we decided that car rental would be the first on our "must-do" list. We opted for a small hatchback to zip around on our trip from Cape Town to Hermanus and back to the Cape winelands. On the road... We wanted to go to Hermanus for two reasons. First and foremost to go visit my old and dear friend Michelle, and secondly for the Whale festival. The drive from Cape Town to Hermanus is beautiful. Scenic views as you drive Sir Lowry's mountain pass filled with flowers, then small farmhouses and the occasional shop where you can buy some of the fresh farm produce that you...
Orca Whales Teach Spiritual Truths
"But ask the animals and they will teach you." Job 12:7 That Biblical directive took on new meaning for me when I went on a kayaking trip in Johnstone Strait off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. Some two hundred orca whales spend the summer there. The guides who led our expedition warned us at the outset we weren't on a Disneyland tour. They couldn't promise we would see any killer whales at all. But we did! Orcas swam around, beside and right underneath our kayaks. The first day of our paddle two huge adults breached not a hundred meters from our boat. They landed in the water on their sides with a mighty splash. One morning my husband and I awoke to the sound of water spouting out of the...
Belugas, Humpbacks, Minkes and a Fin at Tadoussac
Whale watching from Tadoussac at the mouth of the Saguenay fjord out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence is some experience! Due to extremely high tides from the Atlantic Ocean all the way inland through the Gulf of the St. Lawrence to the mouth of the Saguenay fjord, the water is 97% salt. As the salt water pushes down the full 100+ km. length of the Saguenay, and is topped with the inflowing water from Lac St. Jean, the resulting 50% saline water gives birth to myriads of small fish and plankton. Whales feast on those, consuming from 2 to 5 tons average per day, depending on size and species. Immediately as we took off from Tadoussac Bay on our whale watching expedition, several pure white beluga whales...

Dolphin Jewelry Promotes Environmental Awareness
"And when the day comes that we can communicate intelligently with dolphins, they may introduce us to the concept of survival without aggression, and the true joy of living, which at present eludes us. In that circumstance what they have to teach us would be infinitely more valuable than anything we could offer them in exchange." -- Horace Dobbs First of all, let's take a look at the rationale behind dolphin jewelry. What makes dolphins so attractive as jewelry motifs? Moreover, what would make them so important as to deserve a second look by jewelry-lovers, especially the socially conscientious? Well, for one thing -- if there is any ocean-dwelling creature that is said to be the smartest and most...
The Incredible Dolphin
Many people say dolphins are very intelligent. They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they smart like humans or more like cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are alike in some ways. How? Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name". The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, "talk" to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate...
The First Corsets: 2000 B.C. to 1900 A.D.
Pre - 1500 Corset - like 'idols' have been discovered on the Greek island of Crete that date back to around 2000 b.c. By placing two ceramic pots together by their bases, a waist shape was obtained, with the handle of the upper pot representing the nose. The hour - glass shape was a traditional primitive Cretan style, and not necessarily representative of the local women. Earlier icons were decorated with loincloths, with later examples wearing a loincloth and open lace tunic. Traditional garb for some 15th Century virgins was a tightly bound dress, evocative of a corset. Iron Corsets Several museums today have examples of iron corsets.

If you were to step out into the street and ask the first ten people you see whether or not they believed dolphins were creatures of intelligence, 8 of 10 would probably say yes. If you ask two scientists the exact same question, you just may be opening up a debate that could last for hours. Most scientists to-date have refused to take a firm stand on the intelligence level of the dolphin, and although many will admit that dolphins seem to be intelligent creatures, it is not a proven fact. The biggest problem researchers are running into seems to be the actual definition of intelligence. Darwin's theory bases intelligence on the ability of a species to recognize what it needs to survive, while other...

Dust Mites - What They Are and What to Do About Them
What are they? - Dust mites are tiny bugs that live in most human habitats. They are a subspecies of Arachnida (meaning that they're vaguely related to spiders) and they are sub classified as Acarina, or acari. Where do they live? - Dust mites live in carpet, furniture, bedding, beds, nice cool damp places that end up with a lot of "dust" for them to feed on. Their main food source is dead skin cells, which we, and our pets, shed in abundance. So you'd think they would be a good thing to have around. Just like in any eco-system, something needs to exist to scavenge and clean up after everyone else. This is true, however within the dust mite digestive system (which has no real stomach, but is a very...

All Hands on Deck to Keep Alaska's Waters Clean and Thriving
When the name "Alaska" is mentioned, the average person automatically thinks about the exceptional seafood specimens harvested there and shipped all across the country and the world: the salmon, the crab, the shellfish and so on and so forth. There are simply so many species of Alaska seafood to be found at the average supermarket or seafood market that even the least informed person can't help but thinking that Alaska's marine habitats must be in pretty good shape. And indeed they are, though that is an accomplishment that doesn't just come "naturally;" to the contrary, the state of Alaska (in many cases in collaboration with federal authorities and/or international non-profit organizations...

Why Don't Vegans Eat Honey
While some people think that vegans who don't eat honey are taking things a little too far, there actually is a logical reasoning for their actions that ties into vegetarian philosophy. Basically, the use of honey would fall into the category of exploitation of animals that could affect or damage a creature's way of life or cause it to otherwise suffer. Veganism is a lifestyle that promotes a reverence for life that excludes all exploitation and cruelty to members of the animal kingdom. For this concept to be fully effective, it requires that a person not only refrain from eating animals, but also not to participate in the use of certain animal by-products. In this respect, Vegans believe that bees...

Reptiles - Crocodiles, Alligators, Gharials & Caimans, Oh My!
Crocodiles, Alligators, Gharials and Caimans all fall under the order of Crocodilia. These are large aquatic reptiles that live in tropical areas throughout the U.S., Africa, Asia and Australia.

It is believed that crocodiles...
Protecting National Water Resources The purpose of this paper is to recommend a prohibition of the use of copper sulfate, a toxic and bioaccumulative chemical, in America's waters. Background Copper sulfate, a naturally occurring inorganic salt, is an algaecide, herbicide, germicide, and fungicide and is commonly used to maintain the aesthetic appearance of lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. Being a trace element, its poisonous effects can be detected at levels as low as .33ppm, and its toxic potency is inversely related to the alkalinity and pH of water. The compound is typically applied on a bi-weekly schedule, and what does not flow out of a water body into a receiving stream ends up binding to the...
Marine Hermit Crabs
Hermit crabs are amazing creatures. Several factors make them amazing. Their simple act of carrying their own house always over their backs is a matter of true respect.

That implies that marine crabs cannot survive for long in a terrestrial environment and the land crabs like wisely find the water environment not suitable for...
Could Humans Live on Titan?
Living on Titan Could Humans live on Saturn's largest Moon, Titan? Of course we could not survive without protection, but this applies to some places on the Earth where people live. Breathing A single breath of Titan's atmosphere would kill you. There is no Oxygen, but there are some undesirable gases from the Human point of view including Ammonia and Hydrogen Cyanide. However, these would not kill you. The cold would. With a temperature averaging below the lowest temperature ever recorded on the Earth, Titan is too cold for us. It is actually worse than outer space because the atmosphere would conduct heat away from our bodies, so we could not even survive in a normal space suit. A Titan survival...
What Hummingbirds Eat in the Wild
Hummingbird food in the wild may not be much different from what we offer them when we try to attract them to our gardens. They are a somewhat new bird in the animal world, and their range is as diverse as their choices of habitat. There are over three hundred species of hummingbirds, and they are as easily spotted in your back yard as they are in their many other habitats. As long as there is food that attracts them, and shelter, they will come. Many hummingbird species prefer more than one habitat, and you may see them in alpine meadows, riparian forests, deserts and coastal areas. Some species will migrate like many other birds do, wintering in warmer areas and heading to temperate areas for...
Living on Purpose For Your Wealthiest Life
"No good fish goes anywhere without a porpoise." ~ Lewis Carroll To live your wealthiest life, it's important to live purposefully.

That is a purposeful journey with a clear destination in mind. Living on purpose for your wealthiest life is pretty much the same thing. If you want to be wealthy (whatever that means to you), the more purposeful you are about...
Garden Irrigation - Why It's So Important To Grow And Water Different Plant Groups Separately
Effective irrigation and efficient water management are about supplying suitable quantities of water to the garden plants, at the right intervals. Both these parameters differ in accordance with various groups of plants. Trees and shrubs of tropical origin may thrive on soil conditions that are almost permanently moist, while species from dry climates invariably prefer the soil to dry out somewhat between the waterings. Herbaceous flowering plants need to be watered frequently, while under such a regime, herbs are liable to suffer from a lack of air in the root zone. The cardinal rule of garden irrigation is therefore to install separate lines for the different groups of plants that make up the...
