This guy wasn't too cooperative when we were trying to get some pics, but we can't complain too much! The one on the left shows his true colors a little better though!

I'm not sure that we are the first ones to see this, but it's still pretty wild!! 🚀🛸🧑‍🚀

There have been thousands of generations of humans, and you are alive to witness the first photo of a Sunset on another World.

This is a real photo of the sunset on Mars.

It was taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover in the Gale Crater. If you were there, it would look a little more blue.

This is because dust in the Martian atmosphere has fine particles that let blue light pe*****te the atmosphere more efficiently than longer-wavelength colors. That causes the blue colors on Mars, as opposed to the yellow and red colors we see on Earth.

And on Mars, the blue coloring is most pronounced near sunset, when light from the Sun takes a longer path through the atmosphere.

Here's one for anyone interested in wildlife rescues & rehabilitation!!

People that call rehabs and are concerned wether or not they should bring the found fawn in can look at this. The very first question is look at the ears. Are they straight? Or are they crumpled?
If straight , was the deer laying down or standing up?
This year every deer we have taken in has looked like this. The ears are crumpled and the deer was standing up and crying.
The crumpled ear tips mean that the fawn is dehydrated and mom is gone.
The baby needs help!!!
🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
If you are EVER in question about wether or not you need to help the baby , this is the answer.
If you find one with these crumpled ears , get that baby help!
We always advise if you get the fawn and can’t get it to a rehabilitation facility right away, NEVER feed the fawn ANYTHING but unflavored pedialyte.

This stout little guy is one of many who's making the trek with us to the Niagara Region Reptile Show this weekend! He's a Super Pastel Banana het Clown, and we named him "Bluey" because his eyes change color when he's ready to shed! He's very friendly & he has not missed out on too many meals! Shoot us a message if you'd like more info on him or any of our other beautiful creatures!! 🐍🐍🐍

Keep your eyes on the skies in 2025!! 👽🪐🛸

✨ Mark your calendars, skygazers! 🌌 Here are the upcoming space events you won’t want to miss:

🚀 February 20-28: Grand Planetary Alignment
All seven planets will be visible in the sky at once! In the short window after sunset, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars will shine brightly, while Saturn and Mercury will be closer to the western horizon—requiring a clear view to spot them.

🌕 March 14: Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)
A mesmerizing Blood Moon will grace the skies! This total lunar eclipse will be visible from the Americas, Antarctica, Alaska, and parts of Africa.

🪐 March 23: Saturn’s Ring Plane Crossing
Saturn's rings will disappear from view for a short time as we observe them edge-on from Earth!

🌑 March 29: Partial Solar Eclipse
The Moon will cover up to 93% of the Sun at its peak! 🌞🌑 This eclipse will last nearly four hours, starting at 4:51 AM EDT, and will be visible from parts of the Americas, Europe, and Africa.

☄️ April 22: Lyrid Meteor Shower
A dazzling meteor shower producing 10-15 meteors per hour! 🌠 Since the radiant rises before midnight, try spotting meteors before the fat crescent Moon rises after midnight.

🌙 April 25: Triple Conjunction – A Smiley Face in the Sky
The waning crescent Moon will align with Venus and Saturn, forming an enchanting "smiley face" in the sky!

🌌 Wishing you clear skies and bright sights! Happy sky-gazing 💜
