Prothonotary Warbler

These little warblers get their name from the golden hooded robes the Roman Catholic clerks used to wear. 
Prothonotary warblers nest in tight cavities and tend to eat insects such as beetles, moths and butterflies. Since they are Neo-tropical migrants they travel from south and central America to the central and eastern parts on North America.

Ontario Building on Endangered Frog's Habitat!

Ontario is allowing the lethal removal of the endangered Fowler Toad from its habitat just to establish non-essential condos and shopping developments. This is a protected species and this sort of action should not be happening. Protect our fellow creatures, no matter how small. Meaningless destruction from big development agencies must stop! Go to SAVE THE FROGS!'s link to read more on the issue.

New Species of Porcupine Discovered!

In April of this year a new species of porcupine (Coendou baturitensis) was discovered in the forests of Brazil. This tree dwelling mammal has an interesting feature for a porcupine which is a prehensile tail. The porcupine averages in length between 0.7 to 1 meters and weighs between 3 to 5 kilograms. They also have a really big nose that makes them look really cute! Check out more of the article  >> here << .
