A magnificent Florida Panther Picture credit: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers On our news this morning were at first glance what appeared to be three happy/good stories.

First the numbers for our critically endangered Florida Panther have reported to have rebounded and were cause […]

A Green Sea Turtle Hatchling Photo credit: Manuel Heinrich Emha As someone who has in the past, been fond of deep-fried shrimp, as of today, it is off of my menu, forever! I try very hard to be a vegetarian, but alas, shrimp was a guilty weakness, but now, no more. In my mail this morning was […]
The Tiger Shark is a regular visitor to Florida Beaches. Picture credit: Albert Kok This story has been on our local news for several days and it has Floridians divided, once again.

The Pier at Cocoa Beach Picture credit: Mike Russell On our local news this morning, came a most unexpected joy.

A Right Whale mother and Calf With this most recent seal of approval, the US Navy is now free to deafen, maim and murder sea life in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. They have been given Carte Blanche. The might of our Military will now be allowed to forge ahead full steam, knowing well the consequences […]
A bottlenose dolphin in Florida waters Picture credit: NOAA On our news this morning was a brief story about the suspected cause of all the recent bottlenose dolphin deaths along the Atlantic Coast, including our own Indian River Lagoon. The conclusion reached and reported, was that the dolphins had possibly contracted a virus. Although, […]

But, that beautiful image is in grave danger of becoming only […]
A Lemon Shark Picture credit: Albert Kok After having to repeatedly watch some idiot this week wrestle a shark to the shore just to show off and take its picture, as well as a recent rash of Shark abuse stories, I swore that if there was even one more ugly story about them, I would have […]
Our little house in El Paso, the last house, in the last housing track, we were at the end of Texas, next stop New Mexico. Another of the many advantages of living in Florida presented itself this morning in my email with this remarkable example of extraordinary humans overcoming adversity. As the […]
A Badger whose future is unclear (source of this picture is unknown) Since beginning this Blog in March, many Issues have been addressed here that involved animals being harmed. Thankfully, being the kind and caring readers that you all are, you have responded with zest, zeal and passion. But the one topic that has evoked the most overt […]
Plastic trash on the Beach in Hawaii Picture credit: NOAA I have been wanting to address this Issue for months and with this announcement today, it is now time. The city of Los Angeles, my home for over 30 years, who is continually at the forefront and frequently a leader in cutting edge everything, has just […]

A Bottlenose Dolphin in Florida Those of you who live in Florida may be familiar with Winter, a Dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium who was given a helping hand by some very kind humans and a new tail to replace the one that she lost due to a fishing line disaster. If you don’t live […]
A Right Whale Mother And Calf Off The Florida Coast Whales are just like us, they want a family, a nice place to live and to be free to live there, in peace. It’s a nice thought but, unfortunately for them, the Oceans are getting smaller everyday and for the biggest mammal on the planet, are becoming […]
A Right Whale Mother And Calf In The Atlantic Photo credit: FFWC/NOAA As a matter of fact, yes, Mammals in all of the Earth’s bodies of water can hear us now and what they are hearing from military sonar testing and oil seismic testing, is affecting them all nearly the same way that […]
