Heartwarming, the animals labelled with love: Animals With Incredibly Lovely Markings

 Animals come in all different shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments.

They also come with many different kinds of markings. Rarely, an animal is born with markings so unique they appear too good to be true. For instance, animals pictured was amazingly born with perfect hearts.

Wild or in captivity, animals with truly unique fur coats are likely unaware of their distinct beauty.

Not only are these incredible animal markings rare, but they also have a lot to do with genetics. Just like the color of your hair or the shape of your eyes, animal markings are formed based on their genetic coding.

 Atka is a captive-born Arctic gray wolf at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC), a 501c3 non-profit organization, in South Salem, NY.

Atka is among the four 'ambassador wolves' at the WCC that help teach the public about wolves and their vital role in the environment.

He's clearly the lead howler at the WCC, but he do always get the last word. Listen carefully to hear who does get the last "peep"!


Although Atka is not the only Ambassador wolf that calls the WCC home, he is by far best “wolf teacher.” Atka is our only wolf who enjoys traveling with WCC staff to help extend our education programming far beyond the boundaries of our facility in South Salem, NY.

A Manitoba wildlife centre has an unusual bird on his hands – a talking crow named Jet.

The crow came to Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre in Ile Des Chenes, Man., as an injured fledgling about four years ago. Staff determined he couldn't be released due to a damaged wing, which hadn't healed right.

They started spending more time with him, to socialize him in the hopes he could be one of their ambassador animals.

Those animals are used in education in the community, travelling to places such as schools and seniors homes. But while working to see if they might be able to crate train him, something amazing happened: Jet started to talk.

Shauna Hewson co-ordinates educational programs for the centre. She said last winter, a volunteer was alone with Jet in the barn when she heard someone say, "Who's outside?"


The volunteer was amazed to realize it was Jet, mimicking a phrase the volunteer often used. Hewson said Jet can also say "hello" and he laughs. Since learning of his talent, Hewson has contacted bird experts to learn more about how to train him. He’s given different food treats, but the truth is he gets tired of the snacks -- and craves the social contact with his favourite people, Hewson said.

Hewson thinks Jet speaks in a high, female voice because his favourite people are his female volunteers. After looking further into the personality of crows, centre staff decided against training him to travel in a crate.

Despite their sociability, crows survive in the wild based on being fearful and that instinct is ingrained. She doesn't believe Jet would like to travel around to community events.

There are only a few Hopi carvers who create these intricate Kachina dolls; these artisans have dedicated their entire lives to learning this craft.

 It is a bit of a misnomer to call Kachina figures dolls at all. These stylized icons are a tangible way to teach Hopi children about their religion, and have been serving this purpose for many generations of Hopi Indians. Authentic Kachina dolls are made from cottonwood root and painted to depict one of the 400 mythical beings in the Hopi religion.

 The Hopi children took great care of Kachinas, and were instructed not to play with them, contrary to the uses of other dolls in their culture. It is also important to note that only the Hopi Indians made the authentic Kachina dolls, and figures made by Navajos and Mexicans, while very beautiful, are not actually Kachina dolls (regardless of their labels).


Traditionally, Kachina dolls were given to uninitiated girls by their uncles during the Bean Dance, or Spring Bean Planting Ceremony, or the Home Dance in the summer. Hopi dancers would dress up like Kachinas during religious festivals and are said to embody the same qualities of the religious beings they represent. Some Hopis give Kachina dolls to children during other important ceremonies, in addition to the Bean and Home festivals.


There are only a few Hopi carvers who create these intricate Kachina dolls; these artisans have dedicated their entire lives to learning this craft. Their training includes intensive religious study and master carving; which means that it takes effort to seek out qualified Kachina carvers. If you are looking for genuine Kachina dolls, you will likely need to visit a native craft shop, where they will either carry the dolls or be able to connect you with a Hopi Kachina carver. Beware of imitators, who may carve beautiful dolls, but who are not trained in Hopi religion and do not have the mastery of this type of spiritual artistry. (Source)

Crying Rottweiler Grieves For Dead Brother. Animals Do Have Emotions

The extent to which animals' emotional experience mirrors that of humans may still be a source of scholarly debate, but the quiet heartache of one dog in mourning seems to leave little doubt to the similarities.

A video was recently uploaded to YouTube showing the heartbreaking moment when a Rottweiler named Brutus discovered that his brother, Hank, with whom he had been inseparable, had passed away.

In the clip, Brutus can be seen nuzzling against his Hank's lifeless body, his eyes clenched and watery in what appears to be a profound state of sadness as his owner, Brett Bennett, tries to comfort him.


"This is proof that animals DO have emotions and feel pain just like we do," writes Bennett.

ennett, who adopted the dogs together as rescues two years ago, says that Hank died peacefully in his sleep. The scene of Brutus mourning for his deceased brother is a touching bookend to what had been a long and loving relationship — one that will not soon be lost to time.

Two Grey Wolf pups were born around at Norway's Dyreparken. They got their health checkup. The sex of the pups was determined: one boy and one girl.

 The male weighed in at 5.20 pounds (2.36 k) and the female at 4.53 pounds (2.02 k). They also had a micro-chip inserted as an ID tag. This brings the Wolf pack living in the Nordic area of Dyreparken to eight.

The Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) develops strong social bonds, using a complex communication system of howls, barks, growls, and whines.

They live, hunt, and travel in packs of 4-7, with an alpha male and female. They often demonstrate deep affection for their family and may even sacrifice themselves to protect the family unit.

The pack typically cares for the pups until they become more independent at 10 months of age.

This 2-minute ad called "Proud to Be" takes the seemingly complicated issue of Indian sports mascots and distills it with remarkable clarity.

 At roughly $4 million per 30-second slot, this ad never had a chance of making the airwaves during Super Bowl XLVIII. But you should watch it anyway.

Created by the National Congress of American Indians, the ad touches on the rich history of Native American communities. It mentions iconic figures like Sitting Bull, Hiawatha, Jim Thorpe, and Will Rogers. It highlights many aspects of Native American identity: Proud. Forgotten. Survivor. Mother. Father. Son. Daughter. Underserved. Struggling. Resilient.


"Native Americans call themselves many things," the narrator concludes. One thing they don't call themselves, however, is Redskin. (Source)

Inspired by fairytales from around the world, Anita Anti, a Ukrainian photographer based in New York, takes beautiful portraits of women and animals in forests that seem to pulsate with magical energy and melancholy.

Some of her photos seem based on specific stories, while others simply create a fairy-tale-like setting, allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks with their own fantasies.

Anita’s not the first photographer to be deeply inspired by fairytales – Uldus Bakhtiozina, Dasha Kondratyeva and Margarita Karyeva have all created their own reinterpretations of common fairytale themes. (Source)
