Dog's Nazi salute lands owner in jail for five months

As a dog lover, Hitler would no doubt have been flattered – "Adolf" the part Alsatian mongrel was not only his namesake but also meticulously trained by his Berlin owner to raise his right paw in a Nazi salute every time the command "Heil Hitler!" was uttered.






















But in a country where giving the Nazi salute even in jest has been strictly verboten since 1945, Adolf's canine tricks did not amuse the police or the judiciary.
Yesterday his owner, a pensioner named as Roland T, was starting what seemed like a draconian prison term of five months for repeatedly displaying banned Nazi symbols. His pet was dispatched to one of the city's animal homes.























The dog was pictured in newspapers and on Der Spiegel magazine's online site "He is healthy and obedient and we think he will find another owner quickly because he is so famous," she said.

The dog is to be renamed Adi.

Vietnamese Mossy Frog



Vietnamese Mossy Frog (Theloderma Corticale) is species in Rhacophoridae family. This frog can be found in Vietnam and also, in China. Especially
on the Mao Son and Tam Dao mountain ranges of northern Vietnam.
Natural habitats of this frog are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montanes, intermittent freshwater marches, and rocky areas. But, mostly in rocky cliffs and rocky cavites, he is a fan of it.It has also been observed breeding in tree holes by larval development. Theloderma corticale is classified as data deficient, meaning more data is needed on the species for categorization, by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of plant and animal species maintained by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Theloderma corticale's population trend was unknown at last assessment.
Threats

It is known from two sources, one only reported in the 1930's and the other recently discovered. It has not been recorded at the type locality since it was first collected. It is cryptic and localised, but large series of specimens have been observed/collected at Tam Dao (Orlov, 1997), suggesting that the species may be locally common.
Forest damage in Tam Dao continues to be significant (Birdlife, 2001). Clear cutting at Mao Son has reduced the available habitat to this species. This is one of the few regional frog species for which there is a specific demand in the global pet trade.


Skin of Vietnamese Frog looks like a bunch of moss.Because, the skin's color and texture are amazing. Their skin is colored in various shades of green with black and purple spots and stains. They are covered with numerous tubercles and spines thus providing them with a perfect camouflage.


They actively feed, at night on large insects such as crickets and cockroaches. This is a semi-aquatic species spending much of the time hiding in the water under rocks and floating plants. They will also attach themselves to the crevice on a rock, just above the water appearing to be moss. Their eggs are deposited above the water to protect them from aquatic predators. The eggs hatch in 7 to 14 days with the newly hatched tadpoles dropping from their egg into the water directly below them. Metamorphous from tadpole to frog takes about 3 months.

Many people like to have this frog as a pet. It is a really pretty, indeed. The price of this beautiful frog is about $45-$75 (each).

Friendly Cat for Sale!

Are these two creatures really natural-born enemies? Perhaps there is indeed room for negotiation between enemies too…

Chihuahua born with love-heart pattern


puppy love

"How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale."

A Chihuahua puppy born in Japan with a natural heart shaped pattern on his coat has captured the hearts of animal lovers around the world.

Heart-kun, as he has been named by owner Emiko Sakurada, was born on May 18, 2007, one of a litter of puppies at the Pucchin Dogs shop.

His natural heart-shaped markings on his fur have made him an instant star in Japan. And it was a case of puppy love across the world as the tiny dog made television appearances worldwide.

Shop owner Ms Sakurada got the surprise of her life when she saw the birthmark heart markings in the fur of her tiny pooch.

She said it was the first time a puppy with these marks had been born out of the 1,000 animals that she has bred.

Since Heart-kun was born, he has brought a lot of luck, according to Ms Sakurada. He sister got lucky on the lottery and won a concert ticket.

Heart-kun's owner has been inundated with requests from people wanting to purchase the unique puppy. But they can keep their paws off him, she says, for her little four-legged friend ain't going nowhere!

Mother of The Year

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger

Would they become cubs or pork chops?????????????

Take a look........ you won't believe your eyes!!!!

Weird Animal Photos

A sixty point buck

'Goliath,' a white-tail deer buck, stands in the field of Rod and Dianne Miller in Knox, PA Tuesday, August 5, 2003. The giant buck with some 50 to 60 points on its antlers and worth upward of $1 million is believed back with its rightful owners after it was stolen nearly four years ago. But the owners of the deer farm aren't conceding that their deer is that deer. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)

This photo was passed around the Internet in August 2001 titled "Really Bad Day!", "Jaws 2001", and "Photo of the Year" and was supposed to show a British Navyman. It is actually a combination of two photos, including one of a California National Guardsman (note the Golden Gate Bridge in the background).

A 3 year old and his best friend - a python


Three-year-old Cambodian boy Oeun Sambat hugs his best friend, a 13.1 feet long female python named Chamreun or 'Lucky' in the village of Sit Tbow on May 18, 2003. Superstitious villagers in the impoverished southeast Asian nation are flocking to see the boy, who they believe has supernatural powers and was probably the son of a dragon in a former life.
