BEEP BEEP New blog alert!

Hey Jammers! Wow, 2 posts in a row? And it isn't even school break??? UNHEARD OF!!! :O

This rare event is because a new Animal Jam blog has joined the playing field, and it looks really promising!


Just look at that crisp layout B)

Let us all give a warm welcome to the Animal Jam Timber Blog, courtesy of AJ user Difficult!

Click the link above to visit it (and follow it and leave comments on it!). It will also be viewable from Animal Jam Stream's blogroll page.

The next part of this post is unrelated...

You always here about the problems in the AJ community, right? Scamming, hacking... y'know, just Jammers generally being unkind.

WELL, we're all here because Animal Jam isn't just a hive mind of mean people. There are kind Jammers, too, but they can be hard to notice sometimes.

That is why I came up with a new idea for a post segment– nice people of AJ!

First up...


I actually saw this person in Jamaa today. Naturally, I was curious and clicked their Jammer Wall to find...


...a bunch of happy quotes and messages! Aww :')

This is what I like to see on AJ-- Jammers doing kind things without thinking about rares or diamonds or whatever. 

AJHQ, give this person a Positive Player Plaque!

I have some more screenshots of other positive Jammers but I'll save them for other posts.

I haven't done an animal-focused post segment since I talked about the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, so it's high time I made another. 

When I'm bored during school, sometimes I go through Google Images looking for interesting animal photos, and I tend to discover a lot of new animals in the process.

I stumbled upon this cool animal in that way. I present to you...


The beautiful, precious, amazing green heron!

Mira, one of the two guardian spirits of Jamaa, is a great blue heron, but did you know that herons come in all colors, shapes, and sizes?

The green heron is an example of this-- they tend to be rather short and stout, when compared to the great blue heron's tall and slender physique. 

However, the two herons share the same kinds of swampy wetland habitats, enjoy similar kinds of food (earthworms, small fish, small rodents, etc.) and may even be seen together. 

While I have seen great blue herons before in wetlands near me, I have never seen a green heron before. However, the Florida Everglades are a beloved home for them– the place that the Jamaa land Balloosh was based on!

Fish are an important staple food for the green heron, so they have many ways to catch them. One technique that the green heron uses is floating a feather or a twig on the surface of the water to pique the curiosity of a nearby fish.

However, green herons are most commonly known for something that I have yet to mention.


THEIR UNBELIEVABLE NECK

One day, I really hope to see a green heron for myself. Even though we know so little about them, one thing is certain: green herons are amazing.

I hope you enjoyed this post! :)

See you in Jamaa~

Heyyo! I love it when you guys comment. I'm always checking for more, so even if you comment on an older post I'll definitely see it and try to respond. :)

Before you comment, of course, here are some basic things to remember:

-Don't be mean on purpose.
-Keep the comments appropriate for all ages. This is an Animal Jam blog.
-No spam, please! That means no comments just saying "buddy me im animaljam123" or "hi", just add a little more than that.
-Rants/long comments totally encouraged! You don't have to apologize for a long comment, I love reading them xD

-*NEW!* Please be safe about the personal information you share here, and on the internet in general. Just like AJ's in-game safety guidelines, don't share your real name, photos of yourself, phone number, address, email, or age. Always turn to a trusted adult if you're unsure about something.

Pretty easy rules. Nothing to stress about. As long as you follow them, you can say whatever you want!

Thanks for reading! C(o.o)D

P.S. That's a bear emoticon up there. ^
