For many fans of professional football, the second Sunday in February is the most important day of the year. It’s the day of the climactic NFL championship game, the Super Bowl. It so happens that this Sunday is also important to fans of nocturnal predatory birds, as it is also “Superb Owl Sunday”.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. It’s a holiday that’s all about acknowledging the love you feel for others. Often, we give flowers, chocolates, candy, or another gift to that special someone. When you’re selecting that special item, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Excitement is building in the Conservation Awareness Team at Lee Richardson Zoo as we are approaching Kansas Day.
While the weather outside may not be the most inviting this time of year, it might actually be one of the best times to see many of the animals. Some animals, like the lemurs and the flamingos, prefer to hunker down inside, away from the bluster and cold.
This past weekend, the majority of Kansas was blanketed in ice, leaving me to think about what life would be like if I lived somewhere where ice was not only constant but necessary for survival. âI donât think Iâd survive long in this weather,â I thought to myself as I chipped away at the ice on my windshield, âbut maybe if I were a polar bear, it wouldnât be so bad.â
