Animal Play: The Importance of Fun in the Wild
Animal Play: The Importance of Fun in the Wild When we think of animals in the wild, it’s easy to picture them locked in a constant battle for survival—hunting, escaping predators, or securing mates.

From lion cubs tumbling over each other to dolphins leaping joyfully out of the water, animals across the world engage in play. It may seem like a waste of time in a survival-focused environment, but animal play ser...

ANIMAL CAMOUFLAGE: MASTERS OF DISGUISE

One of nature's most fascinating survival tactics is camouflage—the ability of animals to blend seamlessly into their environment.

The diversity of camouflage techniques across the animal kingdom highlights nature’s ingenuity and adaptability. In t...

Diary of a CEO (Recycled)
So, I saw this particular book "Diary of a CEO" by Steven Bartllett in the hands of a senior college. I didn't say a word, I just went ahead to download it because the title was so catchy for me. It was love at first sight. I told no one so my brain wouldn't think it has read it. Steven Bartllett is an Author I have never heard about and that gave me the ginger to go ahead to read the book. I had started and finished the book before Nircle even brought in the challenge, so it's easier to drop a ...

Mosquitoes: Distribution and Ecology
Mosquitoes: Distribution and Ecology we will be looking at their distribution, their ecology and their seasonal prevalence. This is because the knowledge of these four parameters will help us so well in the control of mosquitoes. I feel it's nice to talk about them before we look into ways they can be controlled. Mosquitoes definitely have a worldwide distribution. However, they are more abundant in areas with high temperature and humidity. The first of the factors that influence their distrib...
Man's Greatest Enemy
Man's Greatest Enemy I somehow discovered that the number of mosquitoes in our homes were just too much.. too much beyond how much you can even imagine. Then, I swung into passive action. I mean, trying to understand what they really are and the possible diseases they transmit. My Readers, Lo and Behold.. these guys, I mean the mosquitoes are carriers of a whole lot of diseases. If you know the number of diseases and their detrimental effects, you will agree with me that Mosquitoes are actually...
Top Killer Cancers (recycled)
Top Killer Cancers There was this particular day.. I got home from the clinic and I met my younger sister crying bitterly. I am not sure I have ever seen her cry like that. Not even those days when we were young. Of course, I was disturbed as to why she was crying that bitterly. At the long run, she told me her friend passed away and that he had leukemia, popularly known as blood cancers. Also, there's this woman i used to know in my church. She calls me pastor and I call her mummy. I just not...
Dystocia - Calf Management (recycled)
Dystocia - Calf Management This blog is about Veterinary Medicine for a reason - to disseminate information that would be of great help, on how people are to take care of their animals and definitely themselves. At the beginning, I thought it well to focus on zoonoses - diseases that can be "transferred" from animals to humans and that is why I have so far focused on health in human beings. It is only a man that is healthy that will take care of his animals. That being said, I hope you are not ...

So, there was this young man who definitely had syphilis. However, guess he wasn't very serious about it. I guess he took it so lightly that he was thinking that a chancre (Skin lesion, sometimes associated with certain contagious diseases such as syph...

The Mother of Safety
The Mother of Safety There is this particular quote I saw and I ended up liking it so much. Surely, I will share the quote with you, however, before I do, I will be telling you a story because knowledge is all that is left when all is forgotten and Intelligence is the ability to see even when the lights are off. It was in this light that I felt sharing this particular story before telling you who or what the mother of safety is, is paramount. #Blogs #NircleFeeds

The collaboration of two unseen giants (Recycled)
The Collaboration of two unseen giants There is an adage in the Yoruba language. I will try to translate it , even if it will be crude. It goes thus; "when two Elephants fight, the grasses suffer". It means that when two giants are at loggerheads, the masses suffer. But in the context of the topic "THE COLLABORATION OF TWO UNSEEN GIANTS", I feel the question to answer is; "What happens to the Grasses when two Elephants collaborate?" Today, I will be taking you on a journey and I will love th...
