Creature Feature for May

Well it would appear we are not the only creatures to seek a little light relief from Nature’s garden! I started to look into it and this is what I found – I think it’s very funny! It would appear there has been quite the party going on.

Brainy Social Dogs

It would appear from the results of a recent study that dogs are in fact more intelligent than cats! The intelligence of dogs has evolved at a greater rate than the less social cat over millions of years, scientists at Oxford University have claimed.
