There are some animals you'd be better off not messing around with: they're usually big, malicious and quite obviously lethal. Lions, gorillas, crocodiles and sharks come quickly to one's mind. And then there's the honey badger, which isn't all that big and even looks kind of cute. But - don’t get...

Yes, you got it right: pets for spiders! That’s no Disney movie; that’s the truth. In South America, Goliath Birdeaters keep little frogs as pets. Why would they do that?

Sie verkörpern wohl ein Stück Kunst, welches den vintage-geprägten Computer-Zeitgeist genau am Nerv trifft und die heutige Jugendkultur sehr gut einfängt!

Naked mole-rats are certainly not the prettiest animal you can find on the planet. They are small, shrivelled, blind and, as the name implies, completely hairless. Fur is also not necessary for them.
