Creature Features: Pygmy Goats

So a pygmy goat walks into a bar .

So a pygmy goat walks into a bar . . . well, maybe not into a bar, but along the streets of San Francisco! Over the weekend I met this little pygmy goat in a trendy area of the city, and his owners couldn't be prouder. I'm not quite sure how you'd register a pygmy goat as a pet (or where you would keep it, and how you'd prevent him from eating all of your important documents), but he sure was cute. Not only cute, but he was personable — he walked right up to passersby and wanted to nudge and play with a few dogs as well!

What do you know about pygmy goats? Find out in this short and sweet quiz.

The term buzzard is used for vultures, particularly the American Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture. Their feeding habits are a bit messy, but they are incredible birds. The Ruppell's vulture is actually known as the world's highest flying bird. In 1973, one collided with an airplane that was flying at 37,000 feet! Do you know your buzzard trivia?

Hello cutie pie! (That's my name for this new Koala making its debut at the Los Angeles Zoo over the weekend.) The babe was born on Apr. 3 but spent the requisite months developing inside mama's pouch before peeking out at the public. Even with all the things we already know about koalas, there are many things I learned from this zoo about the creature's eating habits. Do you know how, what, and when they eat? Find out and start my quiz!

Creature Features: Squirrels

During breaks of wet weather over the weekend, we took off to our local dog park to get out some of that rainy day energy. And, while cruising the perimeter, North got a whiff of a furry yet familiar little creature: a squirrel!

Although North couldn't climb up the tree after the quick moving mammal, it made me realize how little I know about the squirrel! So after some research, I thought I'd test your knowledge on them as well!

A majority of you can agree that these guys are pretty cute, despite their given name.

A majority of you can agree that these guys are pretty cute, despite their given name. I'm guessing all furry creatures that look kinda like teddy bears would be cute on principal. But do you know anything else about the sloth . . . other than it (obviously) hangs from trees?

Take my quiz and see how much you know about this mammal. I bet you can even find some answers hidden within the pages of PetSugar!

Creature Features: Tasmanian Devil

Although the Tasmanian Devil you might know best spins around like a tornado, destroys everything in its path, and can sometimes be seen alongside a rascally rabbit, the real Tasmanian Devil isn't quite so cartoonish.
