The Top 10 TV Shows about Big Cats in Britain
10 - MonsterQuest (Black Beast of Exmoor, 2008, History Channel). This documentary series focused each episode on the hunt for a different 'monster'. In the episode titled the 'Black Beast of Exmoor', the history of the subject is explored in detail, giving the casual viewer a decent explanation of the British big cat phenomenon and its origins. This TV show only ranks in at number 10, as it was let down by the limited field research expedition of the episode, which by comparison to other episodes of the series looking for Bigfoot or Sasquatch was extremely weak and lacklustre. The show did not provide the viewer with much of a conclusion, and some extremely good video evidence was disputed by an “expert” whose interpretation of it was at best ambiguous and at worst contradictory.

PAWS FOR THOUGHT
From Cat-Flappers to Purrfect Partners To say our initial interaction had been tense would have been an understatement. It was a little over a month ago perhaps that we both got our whiskers in a twist, with early promotional work for the ‘Britain’s Big Cat Mystery’ documentary spilling out across social media and the unavoidable onslaught of interest triggering the keyboard armies of the internet to begin posting comments, both positive and negative. It was amidst this frenzy of comments that I first came to interact personally with Carl Marshall.

5 Amazing Apps For Your Pet Dog
Last night when I was scrolling through youtube which is my typical hobby to do before sleeping, I came across this one video where they talk about the feelings of dogs when humans interact with them in different scenarios. The way we hug them, tease them, walk them, and feed them does affect their emotions and feelings just like humans. Since I got a pretty decent amount of reads from my previous article "Best Android/iOS Games For Cat Lovers", I decided to write this article for all the dog lovers out there including me. I'm a huge dog person. I just love them so much. Even while I'm writing this I'm being overwhelmed by all the love that I have for them. Dogs are indeed humans best friends. All the pet dogs I've owned in my life proves that without a shade of doubt. They are such amazing animals with smart abilities, affection, compassion, and understanding. Even though they like to see their owner as their leader, dogs are an individual animal too. They earned their own place among us. And that is why I'm writing this article including 5 amazing apps for your loving dogs. Let's make their lives more fun with these simple but effective smartphone apps.

Dragon Eggs. Top Story - August 2020.
I work for a children’s science entertainment company. I do a lot of the administrative work and also teach in after-school programs all across the city. The kids call me Lab Rat Kat, and I feel like a celebrity when I walk into schools. I’m wearing a lab coat, I’m getting high fives, and people are cheering my name. Okay, only two of those three things are true… And that’s because I don’t put my lab coat on until class starts! I love my job. Pre-coronavirus, we had an office where we also hosted birthday parties, and in the office we had a pet. His name is Smaug, and he is a bearded dragon. He lives in a 40-gallon tank, eats mostly leaves, and I love him dearly. Some people have work wives; I had a work dragon.

Puppy Pool
Equinox is obsessed with two things. Ice and her brand-new pool. We started giving her ice when she was around 9 weeks old. It started after we noticed that she seemed to be too hot and unable to cool off. We started filling her water bowl with ice cubes several times a day and she was always bouncing to get the bowl out of my hands before I could put it down. She loved it so much that she would dig it out of the bowl and throw herself on the floor crawling around licking the ice cubes until they had either been completely finished or melted into the carpet. No matter how many times we moved them back into the bowl she would throw them back onto the floor.
