Lions

Having two little kitties of my own at home, I enjoy the cuddling that comes with pet ownership. The pet hair everywhere - not so much. Can you imagine the extreme of having a big cat as a house pet?

I was going through some of my vacation photos and wanted to share a few of the better ones from Disney's Animal Kingdom Park.

Lions: scary animals, controversial food.

Lions aren't usually one of those animals we go "aww!" over. They're actually sort of scary — that is, unless they come in dog form. No, seriously! Remember when we introduced you to that poor lion pup who got the cops called on him? Well, it turns out there's a whole bunch of fellow lion fakers of the canine variety out there, and they couldn't get any cuter.

Here in the United States, a kid might spot a turtle during their walk to school. And if he or she is the curious sort, they might pick it up and bring it in for show-and-tell. Things are little different in Russia, where apparently lions roam free. School children in a Southern Russian village ran into one of these beasts -- a cub -- and brought the furball in to their teacher.
