Anyway, I am constantly looking up endangered animals and the numbers are just ridiculous. I could go on forever about all the animals in need of our help, but here are my top three I am most worried about.
1 - Amur Tiger
There are only 500 living in the wild. The scary part is not only that, but researches have found only 14 of those tigers are able to breed without giving their cubs defects and diseases. This makes it so they are not able to live a full life, and passing it down to other generations. I can't live on an earth with no tigers!
2 - Blue Whale
I'm sure you've heard of Whale Wars, where pirates risk their lives to catch others poaching to kill this beautiful whale. The whale is amazing. It is the biggest mammal we have ever found on this earth, and the most gentle too. I can't think of one just or logically reason why we would kill them. Which makes me sad knowing we might not have them by the time I am 43. It will be a story I tell young people. About how once upon a time there were massive beautiful whales that lived in the sea. Someone will write a book about it, like Moby-Dick, only less boring, and the whale isn't a monster. And look at the size of their heart - pretty amazing if you ask me.
3 - Javan Rhinos
World Wildlife Fund says this is the rarest creature on Earth, with only 40 known to exist. They have dwindled so quickly due to poaching, disease, and natural disasters. In my top ten list of favorite animals, Rhinos are always in that list. You should see them run and play with each other, right in front of your eyes. Something about watching these big creatures move so flawlessly will change your life and how you view the planet. At least it did for me. Luckily though hidden cameras in Indonesia, is giving hope that they might be having a comeback.
On a more random subject Modern Dog magazine's new cover has Reggie's albino twin.
Ok, the dog is probably not albino. He does however look a lot like Reg. I'm always blown away when I find a dog that looks just a little bit like Reggie, because he is so unique. I should just mention again that my dog is the most beautiful dog in the entire world.
And I wonder where all the anxiety comes from. I am some sort of animal freak! We have to save the planet people!
