Introduction to the Blog!
Welcome to Animal of the Week!
I will be posting a new animal every week. The animal is selected through a random list with Latin family names and then I randomly pick the specific species! So if the animal has a Wikipedia page, then I will be able to post about it. This means almost any animal is able to be chosen!
Schedule:
Monday: Meet the animal! I will post an introduction of the animal this week
Tuesday: Conservation! I will post about the animal's conservation status and what might be threatening it or why it might be invasive, depending on the animal
Wednesday: Weirdness! Weirdest or coolest facts about the animal
Thursday: Info dump! This day will be packed with information so you can really start to understand this animal
Friday: Fun Fact! I will find a fun fact I haven't mentioned yet about the animal and post about it
Saturday: Support! I will find ways to either support conservation of the animal, ways you can show support, or if nothing else, I will find artists you can support who have made stickers/keychains/art about the animal
Sunday: Say goodbye! One last post about the animal for a final farewell
I want to do this weekly format to help you see these animals for the complex and beautiful creatures they are! I want everyone here to really get to know and love each animal I share.
I am anti-AI, so if you see that I accidentally used an AI generated image, please call me out on it and I will fix it right away
Note: Some of the animals I end up picking will be very obscure or not well researched. This means I could end up getting something wrong due to lack of information, or the known information around that animal can change as we understand it more, so don't blindly trust what I say
Regarding asks: I will take asks about anything animal related or personal questions! Want to show me a cool/your favorite animal? Go ahead! Want to show off your pets? Great! Have a question about an animal, how I run this blog, or things about me? I will try my best to answer! You can even send requests for another animal of the week!
Info about myself:
Call me Russet! She/her
I am an aspiring zoologist and I want to make a non profit rescue or sanctuary! As a busy student, I may occasionally miss a few days of posting, so please be patient!
