My campbell hamsters are panda campbell. They are so active, attractive, and they can perform acrobatic movements (salto). wow!

I have a good news from my panda hamsters :D they have three baby hamsters, amazing ^o^
They born on first of October 2011. No wonder, when I put my hamsters in a box then I took the picture for this writing complement, the female seemed so fat. In the afternoon, after I came home from Atma English Course, I intended to feed the my hamsters, evidently there was three baby hamsters in the cage :o I was shocked but I'm very happy :D

Then I separate the babies and the mother with the father, because in some cases the father eat his own babies. Then I put the babies and the mother's cage in dark place. Don't be looking at them too often, it will interfere the mother. Don't forget to drip vitamins into drink bottle.

The babies were so small, fragile, gentle, and red. Human may not touch the hamsters babies because the mother wouldn't breastfeed the babies, it will make the babies die because there are no nutrients. Their eyes will open after 12-14 days. I always wait for its growth, and I have been doing an observation on their growth ^^

Elephants

Hello all…
Now I want to tell you about an animal. The animals that I want to describe now is elephants 
google

Everybody knows elephants. Elephant is a big animal. Elephants have large ears and small eyes. The most special thing from elephant is they have a trunk and tusk. Their trunk is use to eat, take a bath, and pick up a single of grass. They don't use their trunk to drink, but make the trunk as their tools to drink. The steps are they filling the trunk with some water then use it as a hose and pour it into their mouth. Their tusk always be hunted by humans for their necessaries.

I don’t want to tell you about the specifications of elephants, because everybody ever sees elephants in zoo. So I want to tell you about the interesting facts about elephants.
Elephants have two species. It is Asian elephants and African elephants. Of course, both of them have some difference things. The Asian elephants’ height reached 3.5 meters. And the weight reached 5 tons…..WOW! So heavy…..
The African elephants’ height reached 4 meters. Then the weight reached 7 tons. The color of the Asian and the African elephants is difference too. The African one has dark grey than the Asian.

Do you know if elephants are fine in dark? I just know it. So in dark situations, elephants can see anything clear in the dark situation! It use to see and dodge the lions or tigers or another enemies. Two elephants or more can make twenty lions or more are fear. But if an elephant and twenty lions meet, the elephant will lose against the lions and the elephants will be the food of lions. So sad.

Ohya, I have an experience with elephant……
When I went to the zoo in Surabaya with my English course friends, I was making a video with my partner Emma. The video is tell about a elephants, so we move to elephants cage :D when I and Emma went there, the Elephants were eating some grass that gave from the cage guard. Hihi, when we will take a video, the elephant spout us with water by their trunk…. We were very shock, then we laugh together :D Then we move to another elephant cage. In another cage, we saw baby elephant. Although still baby, the baby’s body is big too….

Current elephant falls into one of extinct animals. That's because a massive manhunt by human against elephants. they just want to take the tusk from elephants that they hunt because the sale of the tusks is expensive. we should not imitate the actions of the elephant hunters. because it is very harmful to the elephants. So LET SAVE THE ELEPHANTS! DON'T BROKEN THEIR HABITAT!! :)
Do you want to donate some your money for elephants? Let's go on Save the Elephants :)
