jack russell :: Article Creator Jack Russell Terrier Surfing Waves In Peru Captured On Video Many people enjoy surfing, but how many dogs have you seen riding the ocean on a surfboard? Something similar was recently captured on video when a Jack Russell Terrier was surfing with his human companion in Peru. The video shows a petite Jack Russell Terrier wearing a vibrant yellow vest as he skillfully maintained balance at the bow of a surfboard. He glides atop the frothy waves in the Pacific waters near Peru, with the help of his owner riding alongside him. The duo makes an adorable and impressive sight. Efruz, a four-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, is a familiar presence during these scorching days of summer in the southern hemisphere. The furry surfer's owner, Mauro Canella, is a surfing instructor at the beach in San Bartolo, around 30 miles from downtown Lima. Canella remarked of his dog, "He loves the sea."

northern diamondback terrapin :: Article Creator SAVING DIAMONDBACK TERRAPINS Diamondback terrapins are the wild jewels of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. With diamond-patterned shells and speckled skin, these stunning turtles are a keystone species in the salt marshes and mangroves where they live. They help keep these ecosystems healthy by eating marsh snails, which in high numbers can harm marsh grasses. BACKGROUND Terrapins struggle against myriad threats, from coastal development destroying their habitat to sea-level rise, which will transform coastal landscapes in the coming decades, wiping out key terrapin nesting sites. Poachers and commercial traders target these turtles for trade as pets — and for their meat. But one of the greatest threats of all is needless drownings in blue crab traps. Lured in by bait, terrapins can't escape to the surface to breathe. Just one lost or abandoned trap can kill dozens of terrapins over time...

aurora house snake :: Article Creator Unfortunate Snake Causes Power Outage For 10,000 Homes "Rest in peace, snake." RIP How many snakes does it take to slither into a substation and short the circuits? Nearly 10,000 households in Japan found out the answer on Wednesday when a single snake found its way into the Tohoku Electric Power station and caused an outage that lasted an hour. The snake connected with a live wire while searching for shade, according to Japan Today News, causing a safety shutdown at around 2 pm. Although residents were surely uncomfortable without A/C on a hot summer day, JTN said plenty of folks expressed sympathy for the dearly departed serpent on social media. "Rest in peace, snake," one comment that JTN translated reads. "Poor snake!" another online reader apparently said. "The company should apologize and compensate its family." Human Nature Some commenters were surely b...

pet tortoise :: Article Creator Firefighters Bring Homeowner's 150-pound Tortoise Inside To Escape Freezing Temperatures COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX/Gray News) - Firefighters in Texas helped a homeowner get their longtime pet tortoise inside during some dangerous cold temperatures earlier this week. On Monday, the College Station Fire Department was called to a house to help move Jack, a 150-pound, 24-year-old tortoise from his outside shed to inside the home. The Adair family said they have had Jack since he was a baby and they have made improvements to his habitat over the years, but they wanted to get him inside as temperatures dipped below freezing. "We made his shelter more winter-proof this time but just with it being so much colder than it usually is we wanted to move him inside," Laura Adair said. With the help of a recycling bin, firefighters were able to load Jack up from his backyard pen and get him inside. Adai...

channel catfish :: Article Creator Invasive Blue Catfish Threaten Marine Ecosystems In Delaware River Watershed Editor's note: This story first appeared on NJ Spotlight News. It is republished here with permission. "This is ground zero," Mike Steiger, a fisheries biologist with Delaware's Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, said one morning last month.  Steiger was standing on a wooden walkway in the Russell Peterson Wildlife Refuge, looking over the steel-gray Christina River, a narrow tributary that twists through Wilmington, Del., and along I-95, eventually spilling into the Delaware River.  "This is the first place we found them." That first find was a decade ago.  In 2013, a recreational fisherman hooked an unfamiliar, 25-inch brute of a fish while casting into the Christina from a boat ramp in the town of Newport, about two miles from where Steiger now stood.  The fisherman knew he...
