Fur Ball

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.

We like to be patriotic, especially in July. This is a very special Splash! painting commissioned by the US Army.

We hope you are enjoying your summer!

Splash! Animals

One of the most popular animals we perform is the African Elephant. Did you know that elephants have the largest brain of any land mammal? An average elephant brain weighs in at 11 lbs! This makes them highly intelligent, on par with dolphins and primates.

Elephants have been documented doing many amazing things such as painting, recognizing themselves in a mirror, problem-solving and using tools. They also experience a range of complex emotions including grief, happiness, and even revenge!

Elephants remain an endangered species despite many years of conservation efforts from around the world. These efforts have improved their status in many areas, but more help is needed to ensure their long-term success in the wild.

Have a great weekend and have some fun looking up more elephant facts.
