Creatures Of The Deep
One of my favorite habitats is the deep sea. Sometimes I think of it as, something out of a sci fi film, because not only the bright lights that the creatures make, look like stars, but it’s because some of them look like aliens and some of their behaviors are unknown to scientists. The deep […]
Birthday Beach Trip
God blessed me with a great 17th birthday this year, with so many kinds of creatures to see. On the first day of the trip, we went down to Newport to have lunch, then my family and I headed to a long beach out in Yaquina bay. At the end of the shore was a […]
Dragonflies: Predators Born in the Water
Adult dragonflies are beautifully colored, fast moving, long bodied insects. They hunt flies, midges, butterflies, bees, moths, mosquitos, and other dragonflies. They also fly in all directions. Today I’m going to tell you about my favorite stage of the dragonfly, the nymph. At first when they hatch as eggs they’re more like worms than bugs. […]
Scallop: A Fossil’s Story
On February 11th 2017, my family and I were walking off the coast of Yaquina Bay, in Newport, Oregon. When my mom and dad were talking to a nice couple with their dog, I was further exploring the beach. I was walking along the wet sand, I saw a strange seashell that looked like it […]
Madagascar: Island Of Unique
Madagascar is one of the most peaceful places on earth for wildlife. The animals are not as big, or as dangerous as the animals of Africa, and the weather is tropical. But it is also one of the poorest of countries, a lot of children in Madagascar don’t eat enough to make themselves big and […]
MAMMOTHS AND MASTODONS
Mammoths were one of the African elephant’s closest relatives, living on most of the continents, like Africa, North America, Europe and Asia. In the pacific Northwest, mammoths have only been uncovered as fossils, but in Siberia mammoths have been found frozen, (in layers of mud and sediment) just like the turkey you leave in the […]
Leviathan: Bible Beast
The Leviathan is one of my favorite animals of the bible, not only because of it’s behavior and size, but also, it shows how powerful and creative our God, Jesus Christ really is. Some people today believe the Leviathan was a whale, while bible commentaries strongly suggest it was a crocodile. However, God describes Leviathan […]
WORMS
Worms may not be cute, but they can do awesome things you probably have never seen them do before. First, worms have microscopic hairs that help them cling to the soil, to protect from birds trying to pull them out. The worm’s hairs also help detect any vibrations in the ground, to tell it where […]
THE ICE AGE
This past week there was a rare winter blast in my hometown. Freezing rain, snow, and more freezing rain. Yesterday, temperatures warmed and everything is beginning to melt. I dug this little snow cave, and thought about the Ice Age. How do we know the Ice Age was real?Evolutionists believe that over millions of years […]
THE REAL GROUNDHOG DAY
Many people believe on February 2, which is Groundhog Day, the groundhog wakes up, comes out of it’s burrow, and if it’s shadow appears, it goes back to sleep, because winter is going to last six more weeks. If no shadow appears, this means spring is coming early. But that is not the true story. […]
