Siamese cats

Siamese cats are actually quite lovable cats.


1 blue for a reason- these beautiful blue eyes that Siamese cats have didn't just happen by chance.

2 didn't you hear me- These kittens are known for having a voice & not being shy whatsoever about showing it.

3 I really need you- this is by no means an independent breed & they do not do well in an environment where there will be left home alone on a routine basis

4 Careful, I'm sensitive- As a newborn kitten, all purebred Siamese enter the world entirely white, their distinctive  marking being to developed (around 4 weeks of age) due to  a gene in their bodies that is sensitive.

5 I hear you loud & clear- Unlike most blue- eyed cats that carry recessive traits & are prone to hearing issues, the blue-eyed siamese have not been reported as to having any issues with hearing.

Killer Whales

Killer whales are the top predator in the world's oceans.

Scientists consider them to be smarter then chimpanzees.

The scientific name of the killer whale is Orcinus  Orca.

"Orca   Orcinus " is derived from the name orcus , one of roman gods of the netherworld who punished  evildoers- a fitting name for ocean's most fearsome predator.

Killer whale is not a fish. It's is a marine mammal. However, it is not a whale .

It is in fact a dolphin in & the largest dolphin to boot.
