The Komodo Dragon- A Fantasy Beast Without the...
So I want to talk today about the largest (and probably the most interesting) lizard in the world, the Komodo Dragon. These impressive animals grow to an average length between 6 to 10 ft, which is bigger than I am. They live on islands off Indonesia and are very much respected for their fierce reputation. They are listed as vulnerable which has prompted Indonesia to protect them under law and set...

Money = Stress
Hey everyone, hope everything is going well with all my readers :) So I’m taking a break from a conservation story today, I guess I would feel better venting. Anyways, I payed my $250 deposit for my ISV Australia trip about a week ago and am super nervous. I really hope I get the money I need. My mom is barely even talking to me because of how mad she is. I mean, I kind of understand where...

So today I wanted to talk about the elusive but kick-ass Snow Leopard. These animals have to be one of...

Where to Start?
I guess I should start with a little about me (pretty cliche I know). So my name is Danny and I am currently an Undergrad in my Sophomore year at the University of Florida (goooo gators!). I’m majoring in Zoology and I am pre-vet, so I hope to apply and make it into vet school then specialize in zoo medicine. Something about working with animals that people rarely get to be around make me...
