Morkie and Borkie

The cutest puppies I have met are Morkies and Borkies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morkies (Also known as: Yorktese or Malkie) are crossbreed of Maltese and Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier). Both Yorkies and Maltese are members of the toy breed group, so you can expect your Morkie to be a small dog, usually in the range of 4 to 8 pounds when fully grown. Morkies are determined, investigative and energetic. Maltese are usually more gentle mannered. They are known for being lively, playful and fearless despite their small size.

Borkie (Also known as: Bichorkie, or Yochon ot Yorkiechon) are crossbreed of Bichon Frise and Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier) . Although many Borkie display a mix of colors, there are some that are pure black or pure white. Dark brown and blond colors are also frequently seen as a characteristic of these types of puppies. Some of these might even have dark coloring, except for white on their stomach and faces. Their  weight is between 4 and 12 pound when fully grown. Borkies are very smart, as both of their parents come from intelligent breeds of dogs. Generally, they respond well to training, even learning tricks. However, that training does need to take place early in their life.

Poor Earless Bunny


Rare bunny stepped on, killed at his own press conference 

                                  
Fame comes with a price, as an earless bunny named Til could tell you had it not been stepped on and killed by a careless cameraman. Ironically, the cameraman in question accidentally trod on the rare rabbit at a press conference called to announce it as the main attraction for a small zoo. 


Til's rarity and cuteness would have made him a star, as small furry animals are historically celebrated in Germany and, indeed, beloved worldwide. The shaken zoo director reported to Spiegel l would have felt no pain. But it will probably be years before the cameraman can put on a bunny slipper without crumpling into bitter sobs.

Are earless bunnies mutants? One think that they are products of nuclear radiation.

LADYBUGS


Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, some parts of Canada and the US), or ladybugs  (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles
as these insects are not true bugs. Lesser-used names include God's cow (Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries), ladycock, lady cow, and lady fly. Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or red with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. The body is dome shaped. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids. 
Conversely, many small beetles are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles. 
                                          






Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described, more than 450 native to North America alone.
