Heartworm is a serious disease common in dogs and cats. It has become a major concern of pet lovers and veterinarians alike over the recent years. Heartworm disease is transmitted by mosquitoes among animals. The transmission happens when a mosquito bites an animal infected with heartworm. The heartworm larvae (also called microfilariae) enter the mosquito's body. When the infected mosquito feeds upon its next host, the microfilariae are transmitted and deposited onto the pet's skin and lives in the tissue of the animal host for a while. The microfilariae will stay in the animal tissue until they have increased in size. The mature larvae will then enter into the bloodstream and will travel until they reach the right chambers of the heart. In about 6 to 9 months' time, they will develop into mature heartworms. If both male and female worms are present, they will continue to reproduce new microfilariae. Over time, the worms will cause damage to the blood vessels and affect the heart's pumping ability. In dogs, heavy infestation of worms may also affect the vessels of the lungs.Some of the common signs of heartworm infection in dogs include loss of appetite, coughing,...more

The guy rose-breasted grosbeak has a vibrant rose-colored breast although the female is a pale mouse shade. Nature is really wise and a single purpose is that the female has to sit around the nest and if she were quite brightly coloured it might be less difficult for enemies to uncover the nest. The bright-colored man can appeal to the consideration of harmful enemies and maintain them away in the nest. Yet another reason why the men's birds are so brightly colored is to ensure that the female birds will recognize their beauty, and it looks that one of the most handsome guy birds are essentially the most well-liked.Some really conceited turkeys and birds of paradise fluff out their feathers and do a small dance to display the females how gorgeous they are.
