Stretch’s Summer Splashathon – Saturday

Is that a duck!?!? Nooooo it’s Stretch!

Party TIME! It’s been a while since we’ve seen the grooviest Webosaur on the Island, but luckily Stretch is going to be BACK on the Island and in a major way! This Saturdayin the Prairie Pool Stretch is going to be having his first ever Splashathon! He’ll have a huge satchel of COIN CODES and will also be giving away a couple of special surprise items to game winners. Some of the games he’s going to be playing will be familiar, he’ll be giving away coin coin codes for game winners and correct trivia answers, but he’ll also be playing some new games. There will be an intense game of musical chairs… uhhhh musical water? Stretch will explain the details. Also, a special Stretch Photo Contest will be taking place. Take a wacky, candid, surprise photo of Stretch at the party and post it as a comment on this blog post. Our new resident Judge, MasterMarksy, will be taking a look at all the photos and picking her favorite. Shutterbugs get your cameras ready because you KNOW Stretch is going to be doing some wacky things this Saturday! See you on the Island!

Weekly Environmental Fact – Javan Rhino

Smoooooooooooch!!

Hey gang, Weekly Environmental Fact time. It is always so bittersweet to write about these amazing animals that are nearing extinction. The Javan Rhinoceros is the topic of this week’s post and it is an incredibly cool animal who has had a tragic interaction with humans. The Javan Rhino was once the most populous Asian rhino, but sadly it is now critically endangered and arguably the most rare large mammal on Earth. There are only two groups of these incredible animals left in the wild, one tiny group in Vietnam and another slightly larger group on the Island of Java in Indonesia.

Not only are these animals incredibly cute, but they are also very interesting animals. Like most rhinos, they are very shy and would generally never attack or harm a human, but they also have terrible eyesight and if they get confused and panic have been known to charge at humans and stand their ground. These rhinos are seriously solitary, they generally exist by themselves only congregating with others in small groups at salt licks or mud wallows. There are currently none in captivity and there has not been a successful specimen in a zoo in over 100 years. They are one of those magical animals that is so wild that they just do not do well in captivity. Loss of habitat is one big reason for the decline in population of these beasts, but poaching has been their primary enemy. These creatures are so shy and there have been several reports of them in Cambodia, on the Island of Borneo and other places, but conservationists have not been able to find evidence of them in these places. Hopefully the Javan Rhino is hiding from poachers and mankind successfully and are more resilient than we currently think! What do you think of Javan Rhinos? Leave your comments here!

 

Comedy Night Returns – Friday

Hardy Har Har

Hey gang, we’ve certainly had some good laughs on the Island recently, but we haven’t had an official Comedy Night in a loooooooooong time! Since Friday is Rubber Eraser Day here in the United States, we’re going to have schoolhouse related jokes this week! Think about your favorite and most funny things that go down at school, what makes you crack up more than anything else? It’s almost summer time and everyone is surely ready to get out of school, but school is awesome and sometimes we need to take a moment to recognize why we all like it so much! Also, our favorite gal-pals, Sunand Moon will be running the show and keeping us all in line this Friday. Make them crack up and they’ll give you a trophy… if you don’t make them laugh, well… you just might get a banana thrown at you!

Keep an eye out for a Special Guest, I can’t confirm that he’ll be there because I haven’t talked to him in a while (and why would I want to?), but there is a rumor swirling around that you-know-who might be on the Island this Friday. If you can make that dude laugh, you can make just about anyone laugh! Let’s finish up the week on a great not and prepare some awesome jokes for Friday! See you on the Island!
