Preparing for an exotic pet is unique. First, you must do research to find an exotic pet good for your home environment. Then, you must find someone who breeds and sells the pet you are interested in. Before you buy your pet, you will need to gather the supplies you need, and many will be ordered online since regular pet stores don’t carry exotic materials. Finally, before you bring your pet home, find a good supply of the unique food your new pet will require.

No matter what winter sport you participate in, you will need winter gear. Long johns, which are tight pants and shirts, help trap heat against your skin, and are often worn under regular clothing. Fluffy winter jackets and snow pants are important if you’re going to be in the snow for long. Heavy boots, a warm hat and gloves, and goggles are other winter staples!

People who live in cold climates know that there are several different winter sport choices. If you enjoy flying down hills at breakneck speeds, you’ll need to choose between snowboarding and skiing. Both are winter sports where you move along snow with boards attached to your feet. While skiing, you’ll have a ski attached to each foot, and a pole for each hand. Snowboarding, on the other hand, uses only one board, which both feet are attached to. Skis and snowboards both require boots to buckle into. While you need a sloped hill to snowboard down, with skis, you can cross country ski on snowy flat land. Your body’s position will also be different depending on the sport you choose, snowboarders ride down hills sideways, and skiers move straight ahead. Either sport is a thrilling winter activity!

Most ski and snowboard resorts open in mid- November. Sometimes, though, there is no snow for skiers and snowboarders to ride. When that happens, the resorts fire up their snow machines, called snow guns or cannons. If temperatures are cold enough, air and water can be combined to create artificial snow, and the “no snow problem” will disappear under a pile of fresh, white, powder. Some ski resorts use the snow machines nightly until mother nature creates enough of her own snow!

Eating healthy at restaurants isn’t always an easy task. Junk food can be tempting, but following a few tips can help you make better choices. Try avoiding fried foods like chicken nuggets and get grilled chicken instead. Ask if you can substitute fruits or veggies in place of French Fries, and instead of ice cream, opt for yogurt. Instead of sugary juice or soda, order yourself a glass of milk or water.

It’s never too late to leave bad habits behind and get healthy! If you want to get healthy, the first thing you’ll need to do is empty your refrigerator and cabinets of junk foods that are high in unhealthy fat and sugars. Then, head to the grocery store and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins like chicken and fish, and healthy fats such as nuts and sunflower seeds. Ditch processed foods like cookies and chips. After your fridge is full of healthy food, get chopping! Chop up your fruits and veggies so they are ready to eat when you get hungry. Finally, don’t forget to exercise to stay fit!

Do you think that eating junk food doesn’t matter? Think again. When you choose junk food, your body isn’t getting the proper nutrition it needs to stay healthy, so you end up craving MORE junk food! Not only will you have trouble concentrating, but you will get tired more easily, and you won’t have energy to get the exercise your body needs. Junk food is often full of unhealthy fat, which can cause you to gain too much weight and become obese, and obesity can lead to serious diseases as you get older.

Beginning in 1964, Walt Disney started to buy millions of dollars worth of land in Florida. Then, on November 15, 1964, Walt arrived in Florida and told the world of his plans to build an even bigger and better amusement park than Disney Land􏰁it would be the most spectacular park in the world! When The Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, Mickey Mouse walked alongside the very first visitors to the park. Between 1971 and 1973, 2 million people visited Disney World. In 1982, Epcot was added to Disney World followed by Hollywood Studios (originally named Disney-MGM Studios) in 1989. The newest addition to Disney World is Animal Kingdom, a zoologically themed theme park opened in 1998. Now, new shows and attractions continue to open at all of the Disney World theme parks.

Tornados form when wind speeds at two different altitudes, or heights, are different, causing a horizontal, rotating column of air. A funnel cloud is created when the column of air gets caught in a large thunderstorm called a supercell. When it meets the supercell, the rotating column speeds up and the rain and hail in the thunderstorm cause the funnel to touch down.
