This is also why dolphins display emotions & empathy, & recognize a social structure.

Wild Wednesday falls on World Brain Day this week, so let’s talk about brains! We all know dolphins are smart. But did you know that they have a larger neocortex than human beings? The neocortex is responsible for problem-solving, self-awareness, & other behaviors we typically associate with humans.

Wild Wednesday-7,000 votes were cast & the winning name for the Masai giraffe calf is Jasper! During childbirth, Mama Giraffe is standing. That means Baby Jasper dropped a whopping five feet to the ground! Giraffe calves typically weigh around one hundred fifty pounds and are about six feet tall.

SCBWI Texas Houston: Lure 'em in with Layers: Does your picture book story feel "slight"? Does it feel like it just isn't going anywhere? What you need is layers. Adding them to your manuscript will give it richness and depth- and most importantly "re-readability". www.scbwi.org/regional-vir...

It’s another wet and wild Wednesday. Ugh! Did you know that tigers are excellent swimmers? Unlike most cats, tigers appear to enjoy water and seek it out for cooling off and hunting purposes. My favorite patient, Globus, could often be found lounging in a pond on hot summer days.

This Wild Wednesday, we’re talkin’ turtles, specifically, loggerhead turtles. Loggerheads are the largest hard-shelled turtles. On average they weigh up to 440 lbs, but the largest ever recorded was 1201lbs , and was over 6”7” long! And despite their size,they are excellent swimmers!

It’s Wednesday,so let’s get wild! Alligators have about 75 teeth in their mouths at any one time,but as teeth wear down or break off, they’re replaced. As a result, many can have up to 3,000 teeth throughout their lives. I’ve never had an alligator patient, and quite frankly,I’m OK with that!🐊

It’s Wednesday! Time for another wild fact! Axolotls can regrow their limbs. They can regenerate missing limbs & internal organs within a few weeks. If it sustains a head injury and recovers without any scarring, it can rebuild its lungs, heart, and portions of its brain.

Carrie Logsdon McCullough @zoodocwrites.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

On this rainy Wild Wednesday, you may be wondering what animals do in wet weather……Well, orangutans behave like us! It’s not unusual for adults to make an umbrella from a large leaf while the young ones like to splash and play in the mud. Kids! Am I right?😉
