But despite everything, the vision of chickens is not perfect: they see extremely poorly in the dark!...

That means providing them with things they enjoy—like food, water, and toys—and sometimes subjecting them to something they don’t love—like a bath, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. All dogs need their ears cleaned occasionally, but some breeds need more attention than others. Dogs who have long, floppy ears are more prone to ear infections than dogs with short, perky ears, but all dogs can develop ear problems without regular cleaning....

Axolotls are extraordinary creatures that are unique in the animal kingdom. The endangered aquatic pets are found in the wild in only one place on the Earth. Axolotls are a Salamander species native only to Xochimilco Lake and its branching waterways in Mexico. The gilled amphibians are perfectly adapted to their unique environment; Axolotls are neotenic1, meaning they retain their neonatal larval features.
