<b>Bubbles </b><br/> This chimp and regular playmate of Michael Jackson is reputed to have been rescued from a cancer research clinic in 1985 by the late King of Pop. He is notorious for his pretty phenomenal dress sense, sporting brightly coloured leather jackets and new romantic military garb. A prolonged residency at Jacko?s Neverland Ranch thrust Bubbles into the limelight as critics questioned the close relationship he and the singer enjoyed, especially after Jackson taught the monkey how to moon walk. But things turned sour apparently and amid fears that Bubbles might become aggressive and attack Jackson?s newborn son, he was removed to an animal sanctuary and is currently residing at the Center for Great Apes in Florida. He was reportedly saddened by Jackson?s recent demise.

Pet of the week: The Goliath Birdeater

Saturday, 2 May 2009

Who is this fearsome-looking beast? Theraphosa blondi, the largest mygalomorph there is, with a leg span equivalent to a small dinner plate (up to 12 inches). This is most definitely not an itsy-bitsy spider, climbing up the wall. In fact, he is so heavy that climbing up walls is probably not an option, being as he weighs more than your average mouse.
