TRIVIA: Snails have teeth. They are arranged in rows along the snail's tongue and are used like a file to saw or slice through the snail's foot.

Have you heard about the "bile bears" in China? What these Moon Bears endure so that bile can be extracted from their gallbladders daily is sickening. There are thousands and thousands of these beautiful bears being tortured. Through the efforts of people all over the world - signing petitions, faxing the Chinese government - 500 bears have been rescued and are receiving medical care to remove the bile tubes and help in their recovery. They are also receiving therapy to build their withered muscles and get them into good condition. Visit the Animals Asia Foundation by clicking on the banner below. Here you can read about the China Bear Rescue and even download cute screensavers of bears in recovery or view video clips.
