CAMP HUMPHREYS — Dog lovers here gathered for Pet Fest 2012 at the Humphreys Veterinary Clinic May 5. The event featured the paws walk, a pet show, face painting, an agility course, pet photos, informational booths, a military working dog demonstration and an awards ceremony.
“We are really happy with the turnout and excited to be a part of the Camp Humphreys community,” said Capt. Amy Carlson, officer in charge at the Humphreys vet clinic. “We have many events such as face painting, doggy treats and grooming. Humphreys has been great to us and we have received lots of support. We look forward to continuing events like this today.”
The American Red Cross participated in the event to offer knowledge about pet first aid, while the Osan Animal Shelter provided information on pet adoptions.
The dog show had categories such as owner/pet lookalike, best dressed, best pet trick and best in show. Rocko, owned by Blair Bogle, was the biggest winner of the day, winning first prizes in owner/pet lookalike and best in show categories.
“This is a great opportunity to hang out with dog lovers and people with the same hobbies,” said pet owner Tom Stout. “This event also provided information for people who are PCS’ing and have pets with them. This was a fun day.”

Two tiny baby white rats we found while walking to work, near the dumpster of the Cytology and Genetics Institute. The staff there is not attentive enough when cleaning cages, and baby rats from their farm occasionally end up in the street in piles of dirty wood shavings. Fortunately a friend's rat had just had a litter and adopted the poor things. They survived.

Harpia
Image by Digo_Souza
A harpia (Harpia harpyja), também chamada gavião-real, gavião-de-penacho, uiruuetê, uiraçu, uraçu, cutucurim e uiraçu-verdadeiro, é a mais pesada e uma das maiores aves de rapina do mundo, com envergadura de 2,5 metros e peso de até 10 quilogramas.
Ambos os sexos têm uma crista de penas largas que levantam quando ouvem algum ruído. Como as corujas, elas têm um disco facial de penas menores que pode focar ondas sonoras para melhorar suas capacidades auditivas. A harpia possui, como principais características físicas, olhos pequenos, um longo topete, a crista com duas penas maiores e uma cauda com três faixas cinzentas, que pode medir até 2/3 do comprimento da asa.
Esta ave da família Accipitridae possui asas largas e redondas, pernas curtas e grossas, e dedos extremamente fortes, com enormes garras, capazes até de levantar um carneiro do chão. Sua cabeça é cinza, o papo e a nuca, negros, e o peito, a barriga e a parte de dentro das asas, brancos. Tem entre 50 a 90 centímetros de altura, uma envergadura de até 2,5 metros e um peso variando entre 4 e 5,5 quilogramas quando macho e entre 6 e 9 quilogramas quando fêmea.
As harpias são predadores tremendamente eficazes, com garras mais compridas do que as de um urso-cinzento. É uma águia adaptada ao voo acrobático em ambientes florestais de espaços fechados. Elas se aproximam morfologicamente (não se sabe se filogeneticamente) de várias outras aves de rapina tropicais de grande tamanho adaptadas à caça de grandes animais arborícolas como macacos, preguiças, lêmures etc., tais como a águia-coroada africana, a águia-das-filipinas e a águia-da-nova-guiné. Todas essas são chamadas de "águias-pega-macaco" em suas localidades de origem devido ao grande porte, que coloca animais maiores, como macacos, em seu cardápio.
O habitat principal são as florestas tropicais e a espécie se dispersa geograficamente do México à Bolívia, na Argentina e em grande parte do Brasil, notadamente no Amazonas, vivendo em árvores altas, dentro de vasta mata, onde constrói seus ninhos. Habitava as matas brasileiras de forma abrangente. Hoje, pode ser encontrado na Amazônia e visto raramente na Mata Atlântica. Na região amazônica da Guiana, onde foi bem estudado, verificou-se que é um predador sobretudo de mamíferos.
É pássaro nacional e está desenhada no brasão do Panamá. Está desenhada no brasão de armas do estado do Paraná, no Brasil. É o símbolo do Museu Nacional, no Rio de Janeiro. É também símbolo e estampa o escudo da tropa de elite da Polícia Federal do Brasil, o Comando de Operações Táticas. Faz parte do símbolo do 4º Batalhão de Aviação do Exército Brasileiro. Denomina um esquadrão da Força Aérea Brasileira, o 7º/8º Esquadrão Harpia. É o designativo das aeronaves do Núcleo de Operações e Transporte Aéreo da Polícia Militar do Estado do Espírito Santo. É o animal em que foi baseada o personagem Fawkes, a fênix, do filme Harry Potter e a Câmara Secreta. É capaz de exercer uma pressão de 42 kgf/cm² (4,1 MPa ou 530 lbf/in²) com suas garras.
Pode erguer mais de 3/4 de seu peso. As garras da harpia são tão fortes que são capazes de esmigalhar um crânio humano. É a águia mais pesada da atualidade e a águia-das-filipinas é a única águia viva que se compara a ela em tamanho. Entretanto, a extinta águia-de-haast da Nova Zelândia era aproximadamente 50% maior do que ela. Dá dá nome ao projeto de inteligência artificial mantido pelo Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados. Em 15 de janeiro de 2009, nasceu um filhote de harpia no Refúgio Biológico de Itaipu. Com 100 gramas de massa, é o primeiro filhote a nascer com sucesso em cativeiro no sul do Brasil.
-----------------------------------------
The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), sometimes known as the American Harpy Eagle, is a Neotropical species of eagle. It is the largest and most powerful raptor found in the Americas, and among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper (emergent) canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has seen it vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is almost extinct in Central America.
The upper side of the Harpy Eagle is covered with slate black feathers, and the underside is mostly white, except for the feathered tarsi, which are striped black. There is a black band across the chest up to the neck. The head is pale grey, and is crowned with a double crest. The plumage of male and female is identical. The tarsus is up to 13 cm (5.1 in) long.
Female Harpy Eagles typically weigh 6 to 9 kg (13 to 20 lb). One exceptionally large captive female, "Jezebel", weighed 12.3 kg (27 lb). Being captive, this large female may not be representative of the weight possible in wild Harpy Eagles due to differences in the food availability.[ The male, in comparison , is much smaller and weighs only about 4 to 4.8 kg (8.8 to 11 lb). The wings are relatively short and stubby, the female wing length measuring 58.3–62.6 cm, and the male wing length 54.3–58 cm. Harpy Eagles are 89–105 cm (2.92–3.44 ft) long[ and have a wingspan of 176 to 201 cm (5 ft 9 in to 6 ft 7 in). It is sometimes cited as the largest eagle, however the Philippine Eagle is somewhat longer on average and the Steller's Sea Eagle is slightly heavier on average. The wingspan of the Harpy Eagle is relatively small, an adaptation that increases maneuverability in forested habitats and is shared by other raptors in similar habitats. The wingspan of the Harpy Eagle is surpassed by several large eagles who live in more open habitats, such as those in the Haliaeetus and Aquila genera. The extinct Haast's Eagle was significantly larger than all extant eagles, including the Harpy.
Rare throughout its range, the Harpy Eagle is found from Mexico, through Central America and into South America to Argentina. In Central America the species is almost extinct, subsequent to the loss of much of the rainforest there.[10] In rainforests they live from the canopy to the emergent. Within the rainforest they hunt in the canopy or sometimes on the ground, and perch on emergent trees looking for prey.

We have visited Veszprém Zoo last weekend.
Its domesticated form is very widespread. In Asia it is kept for farming purposes, its milk, meat and fur is used and even its dung is utilised for heating. Besides these, it is perfectly suitable as a baggage animal, predominantly useful in places where other vehicles cannot be used.
As a desert animal, its build is suited to the austere conditions. The two humps on its back serve storing purposes. However, it does not store water in them, but fat tissues from which it can gain energy and water if it does not get food.

Nice Animals That Are Extinct photos
Some cool animals that are extinct images:
seminolecanyon127
Image by mlhradio
Seminole Canyon State Park, Val Verde County, Texas. One of the more remote state parks, tucked into the southwest corner of Texas about an hour's drive west of Del Rio.
This area has been inhabited since the very earliest days that humans set foot in North America, going back nearly 12,000 years - back during the last Ice Age when the land was more verdant with now-extinct animals still roaming the surrounding prairies and forest. But over the millenia, the climate changed to its current, arid desert landscape - and the Indians adapted.
All through these years, the local Indians drew pictograms all over the surrounding canyon walls and caves. In the dry climate, protected by overhanging rock walls, many of these pictograms survived through the ages. Some of the more famous sites, such as the Fate Bell and Panther Cave, are the feature attractions of Seminole Canyon, and can be visited by guided tour through the park.
However, I have not yet visited these sites - instead focusing on other areas of the park. On the first visit (March 9th, 2008), I arrived after the park had closed for the day. I walked along the short 'Windmill Trail', a small loop near the visitor's center. This trail leads down to a small year-round spring and the ruins of a water catchment system that was used by local settlers over the past hundred years.
The return trip (September 27, 2008) was much more fruitful - I chose to hike the Rio Grande River Trail, a six-mile out-and-back loop that leads to the far corner of the park, almost a stone's throw from Old Mexico. With recent rains it was fairly lively and green, with countless butterflies passing through on their annual migration. The trail starts alongside the original 'Loop Trail', the 1882 railroad alignment that was abandoned a decade later when a less strenuous route was forged and the Pecos River High Bridge was built.
The trail itself is pretty boring - a flat, featureless hike across a nondescript desert plain. But the main highlight of the hike quickly comes into view. There is a mile-long spur shooting off to the left called the Pressa Trail, which leads to an overlook looking down at a three-way intersection in the Seminole Canyon below. Here, the waters from Lake Amistad many miles away along the Rio Grande peter out; to the right, the waters are wide and deep, muddied from the recent rainstorms. To the left, the two forks of Seminole Canyon are mostly dry. From the top of the overlook, sheer cliffs lead staight down over a hundred feet to the waters below. The view is, well, *breathtaking* - and worth the trip.
Back on the main trail, a few miles later it comes to an abrupt end at the junction where Seminole Canyon merges with the Rio Grande. The location overlooks the Panther Cave pictograms, on the opposite shore far below, accessible only by boat. To the right, a few hundred yards away, are the hills of Mexico. Here, the water is deeper, the canyons steeper, the chasm wider. An impressive view, although not as amazing as the Pressa Trail overlook.
From here, it is a straight hike back along the south portion of the loop, my only companion a great horned toad trying to hide in the gravel of the trail. I would like to return to this park to take the guided tours, and there are other tours available nearby on private land to other pictogram sites as well. And I am told this park is also fabulous for bird watchers as well.

ID of insect :
Vietnamese named : Bọ Ngựa, Bọ Ngựa cầu nguyện.
English name : Praying Mantis
Scientist name :
Family : Mantidae
From : www.ducksters.com/animals/praying_mantis.php
The Praying Mantis is a large insect from the order of Mantodea. It's called the "Praying" Mantis because it often stands in a pose that looks like it is praying. There are different types of Praying Mantids. They are often named after different areas of the world (like the Carolina Mantis, the European Mantis, and the Chinese Mantis), but many can be found all over the world.
The Praying Mantis can camouflage itself by changing color. Its color may vary from dark brown to green allowing it to blend into tree bark or green plant leaves so it can hide from predators as well as sneak up on prey.
What do Praying Mantids Eat?
The Praying Mantis is a carnivorous insect. This means it lives off of other animals not plants. It mostly lives off of other insects like flies and crickets, but some larger Praying Mantids may occasionally capture and eat a small reptile or bird.
How long will a Praying Mantis Live?
Praying Mantids will usually live from spring to fall. The longest a Mantis will live is around 1 year. One of the strangest things about this strange insect is that the female will often eat the male and siblings will often eat each other.
Most species of the Praying Mantis are not endangered and many are kept as pets. They are also good to have in your yard as they will eat other insects

Huỳnh anh hay Hoàng anh hay dây huỳnh, dây công chúa (danh pháp khoa học: Allamanda cathartica L.) là loài cây cảnh thuộc chi Allamanda trong họ La bố ma (Apocynaceae), có nguồn gốc từ Brasil. Loài này được nhắc tới trong quyển Flora Brasiliensis ("Thực vật Brasil") của Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.
Cây này chủ yếu được dùng để trị sốt rét.
Theo các tài liệu trước đây loài hoa này phát triển thuận lợi tại một số vùng nhiệt đới, là loại có hoa nở khoảng 6 tháng trên năm và khó trồng.[cần dẫn nguồn]
Song qua thực tế tại thổ nhưỡng Tây Nguyên Việt Nam thì có những khác biệt. Cụ thể tại tỉnh Đăk Nông đây là loài cây có hoa nở quanh năm và rất dễ trồng chỉ cần bẻ cành cắm xuống đất đồi đủ ẩm và che nắng ban đầu là có thể sống và phát triển mạnh hoặc chỉ cần vin cành xuống lấp đất để nhân giống tạo cây mới mà vẫn duy trì qua trình sinh trưởng của cành
Đây là một loại cây mà thân cành lá đều đẹp nên được trồng làm cảnh tại Việt Nam, thường được trồng cho leo nóc tường, nóc cổng hoặc ban công. Trong vòng đời cây cho số lượng hoa nhiều hơn lá, hoa có hình phễu và chia ra năm cánh ở phần loe phễu có chung cuống hình chuông. Cây ít nhựa tại thân và cành song tại phần sinh trưởng có nhiều nhựa có dạng sữa không dính lắm, khi bị ngắt sẽ có sữa tiết ra thành giọt đọng tại phần vết thương.
