For ecologists, the horseshoe is an important creature — a vastly adaptable generalist that pre-dates most species on the planet, with a lifecycle that is interlocked with other animals. For the scientist, the limuli are an intriguing puzzle, offering insights into evolution, bacteria, vision and species- interdependence.

I once had a pet clam. Found Ocsar in the St Joe River the summer I worked the Paddle Wheeler that was behind the 100 Center in Mishawaka, IN. Took him home in a big ice cream bucket filled with river silt and water and put him in an aquarium with the silt. He was cool, he'd open his shell and blow water out one side and make his way back and forth across the tank. Had to feed him invertabrate drops, only had one pet store that carried them. If you take a clam home as a pet make sure you can find their food. He grew about 3x in size in about a year. Put him back in the river where we found him when that ex and I broke up. Oscar was a great unusual pet.
Never thought I'd like snakes either, but the last ex had 4; a ball python, a redtailed boa, a baby reticulated python with so much personality, and a green anaconda who grew from 10' when he moved in to just under 14' when he took them last week after four years. They were beautiful and it was actually really cool to hold them and feel their muscles undulating as they crawled. Nope never thought I could be comfortable with snakes, let alone love them, but I really miss them. Was afraid of the iguana, Spike, when he moved in too, now we're buddies, and he got to stay. He's happy just hanging out and eating salads. So I still don't want any scorpions or or giant cockroaches or spiders, especially big hairy ones, anywhere near me, but I have a much more open mind to other exotic pets after getting to know the last zoo full. |
