Good luck, hope you find the perfect puppy for you to adopt. :)
Um..I don't live there but here's a site: http://www.switchboard.com/swbd.main/dir... try here! I Hope I Helped!If You Need More Sites Just Let Me Know LOL!
Can anyone email me a really cute picture of a baby otter? my address is meritzaki@yahoo.com.?
Answers:
Agreed, it's not safe giving your address out in the public. People can prank you with viruses that have an email title of 'Baby Otter'. That's what the names for security under the pictures are for.
Search it up on Yahoo or Google for Baby Otter , or Cute Baby Otter.
I found some pictures, here they are:

Why don't you just search "baby otter" under yahoo or google pictures?? It's not really safe to give out your email to strangers.
Search on You-tube: A few weeks ago, I saw a couple of movies there featuring otters.
Good luck!
Why not asking people for a 'link' to a site where they show pictures of baby otters? It's not a good idea to give out your e-mail address. I'll give you a link of pictures of baby otters, but I will certainly not e-mail you. I don't do e-mailing, sorry.

I hope this helps you out. But, why give out your e-mail address and ask people to give you pictures when you can do it yourself? Go on Google, click on images on the top left corner, go in the search box, type in 'baby otters,' then click 'search.' It's not hard...

Can Animals cry?
i know this is random but i have always wondered about it. tell me what you think.
Answers:
While any animal with tear ducts can produce tears, not all animals cry out of sadnes. They can suffer and feel loneliess, sure - but most of them aren't capable of crying out of sadness like we do.
Elephants are one of the few animals that produces tears out of sadness. They're grieving after a member of the herd dies is quite obvious. I'm sure you can get tons of documentaries online depicting the almost funeral-like assembly which consist of literally crying, burying the dead, and staying for long hours - sometimes even days - next to the grave. Some elephants have also been seen crying after reuniting with a long lost family member.
It's also not unusual for some primates, such as chimpanzees, dying after losing a close family member because they lose the will to feed themselves, etc. - or even developing aggressive behaviors towards other members of the family or even to completely disassociate itself from others of it's kind.
If they have tear ducts, yes they can. All animals have some type of basic emotion.
Cry as in vocal (whining/screaming)? Or tears?
I have seen both actually. A lot of animals cry from pain, usually vocally. But I have seen a few dogs cry tears as well. It was probably just a coincidence, but it's heartbreaking all the same.
Do you mean produce tears?
If you want to know if they cry out loud, then the answer is yes!

Yes they can and do. I have yet to see tears, but dogs and cats both yowl and can scream.
Please note, I know this not because I have hurt animals but because I have had animals all my life and they do get hurt from time to time. Not by me tho :)
Yes, animals do cry. Actually, some animals do and some don't. Example? I learned about a marine mammal called a Dugong (lives in the Indian Ocean), and amazingly, it sheds actual tears when in trouble or pain. Overall, there's most animals that can show many emotions through physical and mental expressions! I don't think animals would cry like an actual human would, though. If you mean by animals shedding tears, yes they do. All animals have to shed tears, but we just don't see it. Tears are healthy for our and animal's eyes because they keep their eyes from drying out. In animals, not a lot of people would know for sure if tears are the result of actual tears or caused by eye irritation, but I do know for sure that animal shed tears and cry. Baby animals of all kinds will vocalize when separated from their mothers. Baby elephants in particular produce a very sad, keening sound which sounds like weeping. Hunters and some wildlife experts have claimed that the sound of a bear cub cries, when separated from its mother is remarkably similar to the cries of a human baby. In these cases, the cries probably serve as a form of direct communication with the mother. Personally, I think any animal that holds emotion and affection cries. Amazingly and in which, I think is really awesome, I heard that long time ago an old man died from a type of cancer from some sort of a food, and as everyone around his grave was crying, his two dogs were laying down, whimpering and crying.

Can an oryx kill a lion?
i heard that once before ,
lion can be killed by some big oryx with sword-alike horns .
anyone knows about thaté”›?!-- Question-to-best answer
Answers:
Pretty much anything could kill a lion if it tried hard enough.
Lions probably die after they attempt to take down an oryx, which will use it's horns and hooves to defend itself. It's unlikely the lion would die in the actual attack, but due to injuries that prevent it from hunting or eating, or infection from open wounds.
A good solid kick or a horn in just the right spot could mean instant death, though.
oh yeah the white and black things with horns as long as 10 feet tall yeah they kill them all the time that's why lions aren't targeting them anymore
I don't know what an oryx is.but as far as I know, lions are basically at the top of the food chain.

Can an animal catch a cold from a human?
Answers:
nope, viruses that cause colds recognize markers on cells that they attack called MHC proteins. different animals have different types of these proteins so a virus that attacks a cat cell wont be able to attack a human cell for example. for viruses to affect different species they must mutate properly( like some strains of "bird flu") but i havent heard of this happening in a regular cold virus.
I'm not sure a cold but you can catch pink eye. So be especially careful if your pets eyes are watery.
no they cant dogs pH and temp are too diff..that's why you cant catch your dogs cold either.
No they don't.The nature has made them in a way that you can cuddle them in bed comfortably when you get sick :)))
yes but if you want to be 100 percent sure ask a vet
Can a vet tech own and run their own vet clinic ?
can i have my own vet clinic when im done with school?
Answers:
Of course you could, provided you work your a** off.
There are some vets who prefer to work a few days a week, and you could hire different vets, or you could find one to partner with, or one that will work at your practice full-time.
All it takes is money and lots of hard work.
No, you have to have a license. You have to become a Veterinary Doctor, because for one, it's the law, %26 two, you have to be licensed to treat %26 dispense meds to animals.
I'm sorry to say the answer is no. As a former vet tech I wanted to do the same, but federal regs say we are not allowed to own a clinic. I believe that is or was a question on the boards test.
If you have the right licenses and hire vets to work for you, it may be ok, but where would you get the money for that?
If you don't want to work with and under guidance of a veterinarian, then you should go to vet school and get your DVM degree. A clinic without a vet is useless because there will be a lot of animals needing surgery and meds.
Your alternative as a vet tech is to do your vet tech work as a member of a rescue organizatin, but in that case you don't own it, and you are still working with a vet, which it sounds like you don't wish to do.
That's why I said, you should go for your DVM.

Can a Vampire Bat become a pet?
Answers:
Are you going to be the one to (ULP) feed it? LOL.
The serious answer is no. Unless you have a license to rehabilitate wildlife, you are not legally allowed to keep a species like this. Also bats (although I love them and recognize them as very important animals as far as pest control goes) carry rabies. If you want to rehab wildlife call your state Fish and Game and find out what's involved in getting a license.
No! It is illegal to own a bat of any kind.
no wildlife and you can get in trouble with the conty or state
fidn a new hobby
ba please
I have wondered that as well. When I saw the movie: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone I wanted one. They seem really hard to take care of considering their need for wide open spaces and large mammals to feed on for blood. My mother would never let me get one though.
Can a squirell eat a twinkie?
This may sound like a joke but I went up to the country and went for a picnic. We had twinkies that we left out on a picnic table in a box. When we came back there was an empty twinkie wrapper and one that had chew makrs. We looked over and the squierll was eating the twinkie. Im sure this sounds ridiculous but Im not used to dealing with animals, did it eat through the plastic or something? This very strange (but funny)
Answers:
It most likely tore through the plastic with its claws and then ate the twinlie after it dragged it out of the plastic. I sit and watch squirrels on the birdfeeders outside my kitchen window and the ways they can get onto the feeders and manuver around are amazing. One actually chews through the nylon cord that a feeder is hanging off of and made it fall to the ground and break.
no..
I've seen squirrels breaking into cars, so I guess they can manage a twinkie
it is funny.
poor thing OD on sugar that day.
Animals tear through garbage bags all the time to get to the leftovers inside, so I'm sure they can chew through a twinkie wrapper.
I would not think a squirrel would like twinkies but any thing is possible....now it has a sugar rush..lol....all that sugar in its little body.
Yes, they can, and they can easily tear through the plastic. May not be the best thing for them to eat though lol.
We have a few acres in a rural area, have a barn. My husband had some Round UP(weed killer) in a cabinet in the barn. We were walking down there the other night, and the bottle of Round Up was laying in the grass, and there was this trail of dead grass leading up to it...weird. Pick it up, bottle was completely empty(was full and unopened), and there was teeth marks in it. So, something went into the cabinet, pulled it out, and tried to eat it or whatever. I have seen some raccoons out there lately, but I cannot figure out why they'd want to eat weed killer..animals can be very strange.
No animal should eat twinkies, or other human food. Typically, it will make them sick.
Though not their typical diet of course, squirrels will eat junk food if given the opportunity and they are hungry!

Can a sheep and a goat live together? i hear they dont get on?prove me wrong...or not!?
Answers:
Yes they live well with each other. I grew up in the farm and we had all sorts of goats and sheep. There is a wide variety. They got along well. Actually the goats got along better with the sheep than with other goats. They followed the sheep too when we herded them. Some billy goats are hard headed but they stand no chance in a fight with a ram. Anyway i have never heard of them not getting along, i will keep an eye to hear more too.
I had both and they lived together just fine.. :)
I had a sheep, a goat and a bull live together! They were the awesome threesome.What one didn't think of to do...the other 2 did.They got along great.I did get all 3 when they were babies, which may have helped a great deal. I had no problems what so ever.
Old West ranchers used to mix goats in with the sheep because they considered the goats much more levelheaded than the sheep. Whenever there was a problem, like a storm or a predator, the sheep would cluster around the goats to calm down, instead of running off in a panic. I have a friend who raises miniature goats and she also has a few dwarfed sheep, emus, and a miniature donkey, all in the same 1/2 acre fenced yard. They get along just fine.
It is okay to put them together, but do not i repeat DO NOT put bucks and rams together. The buck will rear up and fight, rams arent so fair, they just charge and can really injur a buck. However they have completely different needs, goat mineral (vitamin supplementation) will kill a sheep because of the copper, which goats need, it will kill sheep. They require much more work to keep them healthy than meets the eye. Hope it helps
Can a rabbit..?
play with yarn? is it safe??
Answers:
Please no... it can cause obstruction to the gut. Instead, have your bun play with cardboard boxes, cardboard paper towel rolls, paper plates, paper bowls, paper cups, etc. My buns LOVE when I cut holes in cardboard boxes... it is like a playscape!!
I wouldn't recommend it. Rabbits often chew/eat pieces of their toys and yarn would cause a blockage.
its not a good idea they will try to eat it. i would stick with wood chews.
NONO NOwhen i took my bunny to the vet she told me "No strings of any kind. It could be very dangrus and result in DEATH!" so please do not let your bunny play with yarn it could kill him if he ate it.
I'm not sure...consult that with a vet or a friend that is a rabbit expert. The rabbit might try to gnaw on the yarn, then it might choke...

Can a PIG be conditioned to be a house pet?
Do you have a pet pig?
What would be the pros and cons?
Answers:
Are you thinking of a pot-bellied pig, or a more traditional livestock-type pig? Both are actually extremely intelligent, clean, loving animals. Contrary to what people think, they really don't like to be dirty. Our pot-bellies are litterbox trained, know their own names, know various tricks, and are very friendly. The pigs we raise for meat ( I expect someone will be in an uproar over that!), are treated very well, and are smart and friendly, as well. They're very clean-urinating and defecating in the same area each time (which we clean out), and they have a large yard to play in. I've had pot-bellies in the house before, but now we keep ours in a large pen with access to the barn, and they're allowed to run in the yard when we're outside. I found that in the house, they can be too destructive-rooting up houseplants, etc. Because they're so intelligent they need to be kept busy, so they get toys, like balls and a swimming pool. Plus, even pot-bellies can get pretty big.
I don't have one, but my great Aunt does. Hers is a potbellied pig. From what I could tell, it was very similar to having a dog. He was trained to go potty outside, he knew his name and a few tricks. Pigs are very smart, so you have many pros there. You can teach them if you are willing to put the time into it. Cons that I can think of would be, first off, the knee-jerk reaction people will have. "You have a PIG?" Second, you would need to research more about pig illnesses and injurys to know how different or similar they would be to any other mammal, then you would have to find a vet to see him. Also, many places make you get a permit to have them.
I want a pig when I have my own house. They do make good pets.
I have a Mini Potbelly Pig, He's the best thing, I had him in the house before, They make good pets, You can litter train them also or go outside, My pig gets along great with my dog and my year old child,

Can a older Ferret and a new kitten get along?
I have a ferret about a year old, we have only had him about a month and my daughter now wants a kitten. I have heard stories of ferrets killing cats. Is this true? And can a ferret and cat live together?
Answers:
A year isn't old for a ferret at all! Ferrets and kittens can get along smashingly. It really just depends on the personalities of the two animals. My ferret absolutely loves cats and doesn't harm the cats at all. At worst, sometimes the cats just get tired of playing with him and go sit on a taller piece of furniture.
don't do it, kitty carnage! ferrets are nasty little animals and they're territorial
ferret= pure malevolent and cunning evil
it will kill the kitten
dont do it
cheers!
My girlfriend had a couple ferrets that moved in with me and my cat for a while and they got along fine. I think the individual personalities of the cats and ferrets will play a role, but the answer is YES - a cat and a ferret can live together and actually play together, sleep together...
oh dear, please dont get two pets at once when you have a child and definitly not a ferrit and then a cat, two very territorial animals, unles you get them as kits at the same time and dont have a child that is... a cat is probably your best bet, get rid of the ferrit
I have 3 ferrets, all various ages. My oldest is 2 years and the youngest is just 4 months. we also have various other pets that they get along with. Hamsters, gerbils, kittens, puppy, etc.
What I did was - for the first few weeks, I'd sit with them in a closed room supervising them. Make sure it's just kitten and ferret, anymore people or animals might overwhelm both of them. Ferrets are smart, they'll learn that it's not okay to be so rough with the kitten, and also understand it's a baby animal.
It'll be fine, just be cautious the first few weeks.
I've never heard of ferrets killing cats nor have I experienced it with all my animal experience, but I wouldn't say it's never happened.
Oy..first a ferret, now a cat whats next a parrot ? Come on, so what if your daughter wants a cat? You haven't even had your ferret long enough to build a good trust bond!!
But..on a side note, I would wait on the kitten until your ferret is trained, and trained well. Enjoy your ferret, don't ruin his chances of attention by getting a kitten!
They can definitely live together. A year old isn't that old for a ferret (average life span 6-8 years) If you introduce the kitten slowly (put the kitten up to the ferret cage, or put the kitten in a carrier and let the ferret sniff around and check things out) you should be fine.
I have never heard of a ferret killing a kitten. Most of the time ferrets and cats can be friends or playmates, especially if it's a kitten. The kitten will usually adapt better to a ferret than an adult cat. If the ferret is ill tempered to begin with you might need to make introductions very slowly, but overall you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck!
Ferrets and cats often get along, although it does depend on the temperaments of all involved. Cats will often play with ferrets and vice versa, and ferrets usually can hold their own against cats. There are definite exceptions though, so supervise play sessions very closely until your are assured that both your ferret and your cat will be fine (and even then you should be on hand to watch over them). Ferrets can actually be a little tough on cats, especially kittens, so don't let a grown ferret play with a kitten without close supervision. It will take time for the cat and the ferret to get a long, and there should be consequences if they both begin to fight. It's generally believed that ferrets get along with cats better if they're introduced when the cat is still a kitten and is more willing play, but there are plenty of exceptions. The same is probably
true with dogs. Cats are generally less dangerous than dogs, simply because of their size. For the first week or so, hold both the cat and the ferret (two humans is handy here) and just let them smell each other a few times a
day. Over the next week or two, gradually give each animal a bit more freedom, watching them closely, until they're used to each other.
Once you're convinced that they're used to each other and get along all right, let them interact freely, but supervise them for a while to
be sure. Make sure the ferret has an escape route, a barrier the cat can't get through or a safe hiding place. Yes, ferrets and cats can live together, and they can even become the best of friends if they keep company. In fact, they are both carnivores, so neither will kill the other! Ferrets generally play %26 bite, and cats tend to scratch, therefore, they both need watching when out together. Cats have the advantage of being able to jump up on things to get away. If the ferret became to nippy, unfortunately the cat could turn around and scratch the ferret, so there would be the danger.

I have 3 ferrets, all various ages. My oldest is 2 years and the youngest is just 4 months. we also have various other pets that they get along with. Hamsters, gerbils, kittens, puppy, etc.
What I did was - for the first few weeks, I'd sit with them in a closed room supervising them. Make sure it's just kitten and ferret, anymore people or animals might overwhelm both of them. Ferrets are smart, they'll learn that it's not okay to be so rough with the kitten, and also understand it's a baby animal.
It'll be fine, just be cautious the first few weeks.
I've never heard of ferrets killing cats nor have I experienced it with all my animal experience, but I wouldn't say it's never happened.
Oy..first a ferret, now a cat whats next a parrot ? Come on, so what if your daughter wants a cat? You haven't even had your ferret long enough to build a good trust bond!!
But..on a side note, I would wait on the kitten until your ferret is trained, and trained well. Enjoy your ferret, don't ruin his chances of attention by getting a kitten!
They can definitely live together. A year old isn't that old for a ferret (average life span 6-8 years) If you introduce the kitten slowly (put the kitten up to the ferret cage, or put the kitten in a carrier and let the ferret sniff around and check things out) you should be fine.
I have never heard of a ferret killing a kitten. Most of the time ferrets and cats can be friends or playmates, especially if it's a kitten. The kitten will usually adapt better to a ferret than an adult cat. If the ferret is ill tempered to begin with you might need to make introductions very slowly, but overall you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck!
Ferrets and cats often get along, although it does depend on the temperaments of all involved. Cats will often play with ferrets and vice versa, and ferrets usually can hold their own against cats. There are definite exceptions though, so supervise play sessions very closely until your are assured that both your ferret and your cat will be fine (and even then you should be on hand to watch over them). Ferrets can actually be a little tough on cats, especially kittens, so don't let a grown ferret play with a kitten without close supervision. It will take time for the cat and the ferret to get a long, and there should be consequences if they both begin to fight. It's generally believed that ferrets get along with cats better if they're introduced when the cat is still a kitten and is more willing play, but there are plenty of exceptions. The same is probably
true with dogs. Cats are generally less dangerous than dogs, simply because of their size. For the first week or so, hold both the cat and the ferret (two humans is handy here) and just let them smell each other a few times a
day. Over the next week or two, gradually give each animal a bit more freedom, watching them closely, until they're used to each other.
Once you're convinced that they're used to each other and get along all right, let them interact freely, but supervise them for a while to
be sure. Make sure the ferret has an escape route, a barrier the cat can't get through or a safe hiding place. Yes, ferrets and cats can live together, and they can even become the best of friends if they keep company. In fact, they are both carnivores, so neither will kill the other! Ferrets generally play %26 bite, and cats tend to scratch, therefore, they both need watching when out together. Cats have the advantage of being able to jump up on things to get away. If the ferret became to nippy, unfortunately the cat could turn around and scratch the ferret, so there would be the danger.

Can a hampster die if he is not introduced to a female hampeter for mating?
Answers:
Sadly yes. Mine did. I needs to realease its sperm or whatever or it will like put this kind of poision in its blood.
I would say no. My cousins had a male hampster and it did just fine without a mate. It did die, but living things have a tendancy to do that. However, it lived a long and happy life.
don't think so. though I think he'd have a permanent *****.
Can a man? Highly doubtful...
They dont have to mate to survive, as long as you are taking proper care of them, they live.
Sure, but he could die if you did..
It's spelled "hamster" and no, he won't die. That's silly.
Not necessarily- but be sure to show lots of love and feed healthy and play lots!
No, hamsters don't really care if they have a mate or not. They can live alone for the 2 year life span that they have.
Of Course Not. A hamster will not die just because he does not mate. Any illness or disease that is severe enough will kill a hamster but not because he does not mate.
Nope. My hamster just fought with the girls.
Can a goat produce milk for a whole year?
I have a farm and thinking about getting 1 goat for milk. How long will it produce milk
Answers:
It needs to be bred annually for milk production. High production only lasts a few months and it dries up during the next pregnancy. Figure on milk from April or May to Nov or early Dec.
A cow or goat will produce milk steadily for several years as long as you keep milking it. If you ever stop, the milk will dry out and you'll have to breed her again so she has a kid and then produces milk again.

Can a dog and a cat have babys?
idk why im asking but i think i want to know!!
Answers:
Yes.
Dogs have puppies and Cats have kittens.
Dogs and Cats are seperate species...as for them interbreeding...they cannot any more than a dog and a person could (eew...just pictured that).
Didn't you ever see the Enquirer article about the cat that had kitty/puppies.they were pretty weird looking
No they cannot. They ar etwo very different species of animals, and biologically it is impossible! But...they would certainly be different looking! :>)
yes provided there is a 'medicine' to stabilise both DNAs if not the offspring will die.
I wonder what a wolf panther would look like
Genetically speaking...NO. I do believe there is a 'barrier' of sorts. The egg and sperm would not 'recognize' each other, and even if fertilization did happen, I don't think it would develop much further than a ball of tissue. They are different in genetic sequencing.
only artificially
No. The chromosome count has got to be very close for this to happen. Cats have 78 chromosomes and dogs have 38.
However, I think that donkeys and horses can mate because one has 62 chromosomes and the other 64, making 63 for the offspring, a mule, which cannot reproduce. I have heard that humans and orangutans have a close chromosome count, but don't quote me on this one- I think that even trying to mate them would be illegal. As for mating, keep the species where they naturally belong.

Can a bunny rabbit be litter trained?
Answers:
Yes, most definitely! It'll be a lot easier on you if you litter box train your bunny. By nature, bunnies choose a specific place to urinate and defecate.
Here's a great website to help you!

Best wishes!
yup yup but only if its in a cage its easier
yes. I have a friend who has one inside it is better trained than her dog.

it fine, they can eat them nothin to worry about
Yeah, a Playboy Bunny.
Yes he can, but, I don't know if he should.
well, why not.
its food and they have teeth
lol...im sorry but the opening question cracked me up...but yea the bunny will be fine
fruit in large doses are not that great but even then. it can give them gastric problems. call the vets and ask. plus in the canned pineapple there is sugared syrup, so she should be cautious
I've never heard of a rabbit being fed pineapple..I used to give mine apple.even if they can eat pineapple I wouldn't agree with giving an animal the stuff that comes from cans as the most of them are preserved in sugary liquid and that can not be good for the rabbit. Maybe you should let her know that if her rabbits teeth deteriorate, they will never grow back adn it is very hard for rabbits to eat liquid foods. I know. My rabbit lost her two front teeth and we had to substitute her diet...she did not fare too well. :-(
i think it would the safest best to stick to lettuce carrots or other veggies or bagged bunny chow from the pet store
pineapple can be acidic or tarty and some bunnies like humans may be allergic
Yes, rabbits can have pineapple, but it should be fresh, not canned.
Rabbits can have small bits of fresh fruits, (about a tablespoon or so a day), but canned fruit has added sugar and is not at all recommended.
Bunnies can eat pineapple but fresh is much better than canned.
In fact if your rabbit has digestion problems ie; rabbits can get fur bound and have trouble passing their motions, if you juice a fresh pineapple and give the rabbit just the juice it will help them with their digestion.
Not juice from a can.
Because Rabbits cannot vomit, this is the best way to help them with digestion problems and tummy upsets.
Ya why not.Bunny can eat vege as wel as fruits.If that bunny likes pineapple then it wil force to get fed only by those apples if not then it wil ask for carrots.

Can a 3 pound dog impregnate a 13 pound dog?!?!?
I want to breed my sheltie. she is about 5 years old and 13 lbs.
with a teacup chihuahua. He is always humping her but never seems to get high enough.. is there any other way?!
Answers:
If they want each other she will lay down and let him get her
Spay and neuter them! The last thing we need is creating more mixed breed puppies. The shelters are full them and there are not enough homes. Be responsible.
Well..yes. You can hold him up. Sorry. Also, if she wants to breed bad enough she will lie down for him. Saw it with a german shepherd and a miniature schnauzer.
