Dolphin Play With Kids
Extraordinary children are popping up everywhere - like a giant wave that's building momentum. There's James Twyman's Psychic Children, Kryon's Indigo Children, Dr. Richard Boylan's Star Kids, and recently I've heard of some special children in Russia. Are you ready for yet another group of special kids?

You'll find my introduction to Dolphin Children in the commentary that follows. They've actually been around for quite some time, just like all the other special kids. However, the numbers of these gifted children are increasing worldwide and it's time for their presence to be known - hence, they're all getting a lot of attention now and that's exciting! They bring a new vision with the ability to implement it.

The presence of the Dolphin Children won't come as a surprise to some of you, just like it was no surprise to learn of all the other unique children. I've met them here and there over the years and I knew what they represented the moment I laid eyes on them. I could feel an expanded level of awareness and intelligence in their presence and I would walk away with a warmth in my heart and new hope for our future.

The characteristics of Dolphin Children are interwoven with those of the Psychic Children, the Indigo's, the Star Kids - and vice versa. The most significant difference of Dolphin Children, though, is often their persistent smile and laughter, and their insatiable need to be near water - especially the sea.

They have a strong sense of liberty and freedom of spirit. In fact, they will become despondent - even severely ill - if they are forced into restrictive life-styles or forced to endure a home environment that is lacking in respect, sensitivity or encouragement.

When they are fortunate enough to be born into a family that honors their special gifts and talents, teach them with kindness, and discipline them with firm yet gentle guidance, they will grow up to be extraordinarily creative and vibrant individuals.

Dolphin Children are highly sensitive, with empathic natures. They are usually born telepathic and will use and keep this skill if they are not discouraged or taught out of it. Since they are telepathic, Dolphin Children may experience delayed speech, non-speech or symptoms of autism which can be overcome with appropriate therapies.

They are often found in the healing professions, especially the alternative healing arts. Their strong interest in the ocean and all its living creatures may lead them to pursue occupations like oceanography, sailing, or marine biology. They tend to have natural inclinations toward athletic pursuits - like swimming, scuba diving, water skiing, dancing or gymnastics.

They will usually have a strong interest in the field of sound - like toning, singing, music as well as technologies that utilize sound - both audible and inaudible. New technologies that offer non-verbal communication, interaction with the subconscious mind, and dimensional travel will be attractive to many Dolphin Children.

They are lovers and advocates for the welfare of animals, nature and the environment. They often show particular sensitivity and compassion for the disadvantaged ones: the disabled, the elderly, the weak, and the underdog.

They often have large, clear, beautiful eyes and a frequent smile. They are usually extra sensitive to sounds. Some may have slightly noticeable webbing between their fingers and toes. Some have even learned to move and expand their auric field at will which can be felt as a calming energy by animals and sensitive people. They may also tend to have frequent out of body experiences at night during sleep and may have lucid dreams of being underwater as a dolphin or swimming with them.

In addition, many adults - even higly credible folk with doctorates in medicine, psycology, and science - secretly believe that they are dolphins incarnated into human bodies. And, of course, until there can be greater public acceptance of such occurrences, these special adults will likely keep their secret and only disclose such information to those who have an open heart and an open mind.

Wapiti Or Elk

Wapiti Or Elk
Elk are also called wapiti, a Native American word that means "light-colored deer." Elk are related to deer but are much larger than most of their relatives. A bull (male) elk's antlers may reach 4 feet (1.2 meters) above its head, so that the animal towers 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall.

Bull elk lose their antlers each March, but they begin to grow them back in May in preparation for the late-summer breeding season.

In early summer, elk migrate to high mountain grazing grounds where the cows (females) will give birth. Each cow typically has a single calf, which can stand by the time it is 20 minutes old.

During the late summer breeding season the bugling of bull elk echoes through the mountains. These powerful animals strip the velvet off their new antlers using them in violent clashes that determine who gets to mate with whom. Males with the bigger antlers, typically older animals, usually win these battles and dominate small herds.

In the winter, wapiti reconvene into larger herds, though males and females typically remain separate. The herds return to lower valley pastures where elk spend the season pawing through snow to browse on grass or settling for shrubs that stand clear of the snow cover.

Elk were once found across much of North America but they were killed off and driven to take refuge in more remote locations. Today they live primarily in western North America, especially in mountainous landscapes such as Wyoming's National Elk Refuge and Yellowstone National Park. Some eastern U.S. states have reintroduced small elk herds into heavily wooded wilderness areas.

The Common Octopus, Thankfully

The Common Octopus, Thankfully
You might think that, with a name like ‘Common Octopus’, this creature would be pretty ordinary wouldn’t you? The common, thankfully, refers to the fact that this octopus is doing well and is not considered endangered or threatened. But there’s nothing about the octopus that’s not extraordinary.

Would you call changing colour to suit your mood common? How about moving about through jet propulsion or giving birth to half a million babies? Or even learning new skills through trial and error? That’s remarkable! That’s the Common Octopus.

The Common Octopus is, indeed, common. Its natural range extends from the Mediterranean Sea and the southern coast of England to the north west coast of Africa. They can also be found off the Azores, Canary Islands and Cape Verde Islands, preferring coastal waters. They can live in the shallows and also to a depth of 500 feet. They live up to 1-2 years in the wild.

Normally solitary, the octopus prefers to stay at home – their boneless body enables them to squeeze into the smallest gaps - and only leaves when it’s time to mate or eat. They hunt at dusk and will eat anything that strays into their path – although crabs, crayfish and bivalve molluscs are top of the list.

Recent research has found evidence that the Common Octopus stockpiles food. This is because divers have discovered piles of living bivalves around the burrows where the octopus lives. This is believed to be so that they can pop out at any time and enjoy a seafood snack. They also collect crustacean shells and other objects to construct 'gardens', around their lairs.

In early spring however, the adults leave their crags, crevices and burrows and move closer to the shore for spawning. Mating pairs may often look like they are holding hands. This is because the male pumps spermatophores down a specially modified tentacle called the hectocotylus to fertilise the female's eggs.

After mating (about 2 months) the female lays up to 500,000 eggs in shallow water. She attaches them to rocks, coral or sometimes even man made objects and cares for them by blowing oxygenated water over them and cleaning them with her suckers. Once they have hatched she dies and the hatchlings drift away on the currents. Only about 1 or 2 in 200,000 will survive.

Octopuses have proved themselves time and time again to be capable of learning and can distinguish the size, shape brightness and colour of objects. They can solve problems by trial and error – and remember what they had to do. They have been known to unscrew jars with ease.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Common Octopus is its ability to blend in with its surroundings and express its mood through colour. Using a network of pigment cells and specialized muscles in its skin, the Common Octopus can almost instantaneously change colour and match the colours, patterns, and even textures of its surroundings. While their pigmentation is normally brown, octopuses turn white when afraid, or red when angry. They may also adopt deflective markings to scare away potential predators.

The octopus has no skeleton but does have a skull which protects the brain. They also have a sharp beak and a toothed tongue called a radula, which it uses to pry open and drill into the shells of prey, like crabs and clams.

Octopus are fast swimmers and can jet forward by expelling water through their mantles. However, if that isn’t enough to escape a predator they can lose an arm to escape a predator's grasp. This will regrow in time. Amazing!
common octopus would be unique for its appearance alone, with its massive bulbous head, large eyes, and eight distinctive arms. But by far the most striking characteristic of the octopus is the wide array of techniques it uses to avoid or thwart attackers.

Its first—and most amazing—line of defense is its ability to hide in plain sight. Using a network of pigment cells and specialized muscles in its skin, the common octopus can almost instantaneously match the colors, patterns, and even textures of its surroundings. Predators such as sharks, eels, and dolphins swim by without even noticing it.

When discovered, an octopus will release a cloud of black ink to obscure its attacker's view, giving it time to swim away. The ink even contains a substance that dulls a predator's sense of smell, making the fleeing octopus harder to track. Fast swimmers, they can jet forward by expelling water through their mantles. And their soft bodies can squeeze into impossibly small cracks and crevices where predators can't follow.

If all else fails, an octopus can lose an arm to escape a predator's grasp and regrow it later with no permanent damage. They also have beaklike jaws that can deliver a nasty bite, and venomous saliva, used mainly for subduing prey.

Considered the most intelligent of all invertebrates, the common octopus is found in the tropical and temperate waters of the world’s oceans. They can grow to about 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) in length and weigh up to 22 pounds (10 kilograms), although averages are much smaller. They prey on crabs, crayfish, and mollusks, and will sometimes use their ink to disorient their victims before attacking.

Blue Jays Are Natural Forest Dwellers

Blue Jays Are Natural Forest Dwellers
Blue jays are natural forest dwellers, but they are also highly adaptable and intelligent birds. They are a familiar and noisy presence around many North American bird feeders. The blue jay's "Jay! Jay!" call is only one of a wide variety of sounds the bird employs—including excellent imitations of several hawk calls.

Blue jays are sometimes known to eat eggs or nestlings, and it is this practice that has tarnished their reputation. In fact, they are largely vegetarian birds. Most of their diet is composed of acorns, nuts, and seeds—though they also eat small creatures such as caterpillars, grasshoppers, and beetles. Blue jays sometimes store acorns in the ground and may fail to retrieve them, thus aiding the spread of forests.

Common in much of eastern and central North America, blue jays are gradually extending their range to the Northwest. They are fairly social and are typically found in pairs or in family groups or small flocks. Most northern birds head south for the winter and join in large flocks of up to 250 birds to make the long journey. However, this migration is a bit of a mystery to scientists. Some birds winter in all parts of the blue jay's range, and some individual birds may migrate one year and not the next. It is unclear what factors determine whether each blue jay or family decides to migrate.

Black Mambas Biography

Black Mambas Biography 
Black Mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive. They have been blamed for numerous human deaths, and African myths exaggerate their capabilities to legendary proportions. For these reasons, the black mamba is widely considered the world’s deadliest snake.

Black mambas live in the savannas and rocky hills of southern and eastern Africa. They are Africa’s longest venomous snake, reaching up to 14 feet (4.5 meters) in length, although 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) is more the average. They are also among the fastest snakes in the world, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour (20 kilometers per hour).

They get their name not from their skin color, which tends to be olive to gray, but rather from the blue-black color of the inside of their mouth, which they display when threatened.

Black mambas are shy and will almost always seek to escape when confronted. However, when cornered, these snakes will raise their heads, sometimes with a third of their body off the ground, spread their cobra-like neck-flap, open their black mouths and hiss. If an attacker persists, the mamba will strike not once, but repeatedly, injecting large amounts of potent neuro- and cardiotoxin with each strike.

Before the advent of black mamba antivenin, a bite from this fearsome serpent was 100 percent fatal, usually within about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, antivenin is still not widely available in the rural parts of the mamba’s range, and mamba-related deaths remain frequent.

The black mamba has no special conservation status. However, encroachment on its territory is not only putting pressure on the species but contributes to more potentially dangerous human contact with these snakes.

Five Different Species Of Baboons

Five Different Species Of Baboons
There are five different species of baboons. All of them live in Africa or Arabia. Baboons are some of the world's largest monkeys, and males of different species average from 33 to 82 pounds (15 to 37 kilograms). Baboon bodies are 20 to 40 inches (60 to 102 centimeters) long, not including substantial tails of varying lengths.

Baboons generally prefer savanna and other semi-arid habitats, though a few live in tropical forests.

Like other Old World monkeys, baboons do not have prehensile (gripping) tails. But they can and do climb trees to sleep, eat, or look out for trouble. They spend much of their time on the ground.

Baboons are opportunistic eaters and, fond of crops, become destructive pests to many African farmers. They eat fruits, grasses, seeds, bark, and roots, but also have a taste for meat. They eat birds, rodents, and even the young of larger mammals, such as antelopes and sheep.

Four baboon species (i.e., chacma, olive, yellow, and Guinea) are known as the savanna baboons. These animals form large troops, composed of dozens or even hundreds of baboons, governed by a complex hierarchy that fascinates scientists. Males use shows of physical power to dominate rivals, and troop members spend endless hours carefully grooming one another to remove insects and dead skin.

A fifth species, the hamadryas baboon, lives in the hills along the Red Sea coasts of Africa and Arabia. These cliff-dwelling baboons disperse to forage during the day and reconvene in much smaller groups at night.
