Answer: A meerkat would win! Meerkats are known for their daring diet. They are able to kill and eat poisonous snakes and scorpions without being hurt, because they are immune to the venom. They eat poisonous scorpions by quickly biting off their stingers, and then eating the rest! Now that’s stinger-lickin’ good.

Just a quick update on the annual San Diego Humane Society Fur Ball. What an incredible evening! We performed the Splash! Cheetah and White Tiger. Together the paintings we performed raised $5,200 for the San Diego Humane Society. The money will be put to an important cause – saving animals!

ATTENTION ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!

Splash! Animals is going to donate a performance and two paintings to be auctioned off at the San Diego Humane Society’s annual fundraiser they call Fur Ball. This is going to be a fun event, but more importantly, we are helping raise money for the Humane Society because we LOVE ANIMALS. We can’t tell you what animals we are performing, but if you are curious and you want to help animals in need, you should attend! Click on the picture above for details.

This one's for the Leos!

Today is all about Lions! The male is referred to as a lion or tom and the female is referred to as a lioness. The baby lion is a cub. Did you know that the lions are the only cats that live in groups, which are called prides? Prides are family units that may include up to three males, a dozen females, and their young. The females do most of the hunting and cub rearing, just like our families! Have a great weekend!

The name “orangutan” translates into English as “man of the forest”. It comes from Malay and Bahasa Indonesian orang (man) and hutan (forest).  Orangutans are highly intelligent and use tools such as chewing up leaves to create sponges and using branches and sticks to test the depth of water before entering.  The Sumatran species is critically endangered with an estimate of only 7,200 individuals remaining in the wild. Have a great weekend and let us know if you find other fun or important facts about this amazing animal.
