Horses :)

Horses were always a very useful animal for the people.. They used them to take their milk, hair, bones etc. and they also use them to earn money or they just went to some games with them, such as the show jumping, the rodeo and the horse racings. Here you can see a collage with pictures of some beautiful horses:


The talented birds

The birds of this species are very beautiful, full of colours and very intelligent.. I'm talking about the parrots of course! The biggest amount of them lives in South America and Australasia, a region of Oceania, but you can also see them in many zoos. Some kinds of parrots have the ability of imitating human voices, makes their popularity as pets even bigger! Here ar some some shots of these talented birds:

The king of the jungle

As you see democracy hasn't arrived at the animal kingdom, because of the lions... These magestic animals live in Africa and Asia and of course you can see them in zoos or in National parks.. Here are some pictures of the beautiful lions:





Cute but tricky..

These little, cute foxes seem to be very fond of each other.. but don't be decieved! They are really tricky and not trusting animals... For example, in many countries foxes appear in folklore as a symbol of cunning and trickery, or as a familiar animal possessed of magic powers. You can also understand it by seeing the cartoon "Dora the Explorer" :P

A fish named "Ray"

This kind of fish is called "Ray" or "Skate" and it is closely related to the family of sharks. It has a boneless skeleton made out of a tough, elastic substance and it has developed heavy, rounded teeth for crushing the shells of snails, clams, oysters and crustaceans. It also eats fish, depending on its species. Most of the ray species live on the sea floor, while many of them live in coastal waters and few of them in deep waters. As you can see in the next pictures, it can be seen in a variety of colours and shapes... Enjoy!:

"Quack", they said

This well-known kind of duck is called the "Mallard" duck, that lives in America, Asia and Europe and has been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. Just as the peacocks, only the male is good-looking. For example, the male (which is called drake) has a glossy green head and grey wings and belly, while the female only has brown and black feathers... Isn't that unfair? Also, the males sometimes have more that one colours on their wings' feathers that make them look even more beautiful..
Here are some pictures of them:





Finding Nemo...

I think that you all know this kind of fish, from the famous fish "Nemo". It is called clownfish or anemonefish, because of its colours and its white bars and patches and because it lives with anemones. You can find them in a lot of colours including orange, yellow, red, even black!
Here you can see an orange one:
