The Zorse

A zorse is a cross between a female horse and a male zebra. These beautiful mammals look similar to a horse, however, they carry stripes throughout their body just like zebras. There are other zebroids that are similar hybrids to the zorse, including zedonks or zonkeys, which are a zebra mixed with a donkey, and the zony. The…

You take your dog for walks every day, but how often does the pooch have a new encounter or unique experience? It probably sees mostly other humans walking their other dogs, maybe a couple of joggers, maybe a couple of squirrels and whatnot. Pretty boring, even for a dog. So it's no wonder this French bulldog goes completely mental when it mets a police horse on Wall Street. You'd probably be impressed to if you'd never seen (or smelled) a horse before and stumbled upon one during your morning walk. The dog is literally doing flips out of excitement! And the horse seems to be taking it all in stride trot. Wait for the moment when they touch muzzles and enjoy the rush of endorphins your ...

Recently, when East Edmond, Oklahoma was swamped with rain, rescue teams mobilized to save animals that were caught in the flooding. Animal Welfare Officer Lacie Smith told KFOR Oklahoma City that the fire department, strapped into life jackets, went swimming to save three horses, neck deep in water. Fashioning harnesses out of dog leashes, they managed to rescue two of the animals. Sadly, amidst the chaos, one of the horses, Reg, was swept down the Coffee Creek that had risen 25 ft. due to the storms. According to Officer Mike Sullivan, the incident was "heartbreaking." He told KFOR Oklahoma City that "all we could do was hope in God and pray the horse could catch its grip and swim to ...

Flickr/Muffet We recently wrote about the ASPCA's top 10 pet poisons of 2009. Included on the list were human foods that can make pets sick, including avocados. Little did we know that one little green fruit would inspire such a flurry of comments from people who argue that their dogs love the key guacamole ingredient. So we decided to set the record straight. According to the ASPCA, the avocado plant contains a substance called persin. "Different species of animals have different toxic reactions to avocados," said Dr. Tina Wismer, the senior director of veterinary outreach and education at the ASPCA. "Animals such as birds can develop respiratory distress, fluid build-up around the heart, ...

"Birdy want a doggy?" Photo: Fame Pictures Ava and Mio are double trouble. The blue-and-yellow macaws have become local celebrities in their hometown of Hamburg, Germany, thanks to the games they play with their four-legged friends, reports the Daily Telegraph. The two-year-old birds love to chase their owner's seven-year-old mutt, Flitzer. Sometimes the mischievous birds instigate a romp with Flitzer, and other times Flitzer is the one trying to ruffle his friends' feathers. "It's an interactive game between the birds and our dog," said the animals' owner, Julian Knott. Knott lets the birds out each morning, where they head straight for an apple tree for breakfast. After spending most ...
