Animals with Downs Syndrome

These are not edited photos, they are real, and they are of various animal species, suffering from the rare disease known to humans as Downs Syndrome. It is incredibly rare in animals, but can be seen in domestic dogs as well as in exotic animals. Like in humans, it causes facial defects and also causes the animals brains to develop a lot slower and never develop fully therefore these animals are quite dopey. In the wild they would die very young but the animals above have all been raised in zoos. People are almost completely unaware about this disease in animals, but it does exist, little is known about the animal form as downs syndrome but it highlights just how close humans are to other species on this earth. 

Practical Reptile Keeping

A very amazing, informative magazine!

I initially had my doubts about this magazine, thinking that it would only be suitable for reptile keepers and people who already had a great knowledge and owned these magnificent animals. But how wrong was I! It is one of the most informative magazines I have ever read and I would seriously recommend it to any reptile lovers. I have only bought two episodes so far but I have learnt so much from them both, and it is so easy to absorb all of the information from it as it is so easy to read and interesting. It is definitely worth the money and I plan to subscribe for a year after Christmas!
