Approximately 20-60 million years ago,ostriches were found around the
Mediterranean Sea in the west, China in the east and Mongolia in the
north. Together with many other large mammals, ostriches only migrated south across Africa about a million years ago.
It’s a well-documented fact that large ostriches were already roaming
the Western Cape at the time of the landing of
Jan van Riebeeck in 1652.
In the late 19th-century the fashion for ostrich feathers, in hats or fans,
caused farmers to domesticate and breed this largest of birds.
In the late 20th-century there was more interest in it for its meat.
Way Back When!
History of Chihuahua’s
The Chihuahua is recognized as one of the oldest dog breeds. Historical facts
concerning the Cholula Pyramids and the Chichen Itza ruins indicate that Chihuahuas had existed before the 16th century. It is said that the ancestors of the Chihuahua were the companions of the ancient Toltecs during the 9th century and were
used for religious reasons. Although it cannot be determined when Chihuahuas
came into existence, it is believed that they existed before the Mayans.
Despite time and origin doubts, it is clear that the Chihuahua, dog owners have
come to love today, originated in Mexico. The ancestors of the Chihuahua were
larger than the current sizes of today and this is thought to be the result of breeding
the original breed known as Techichi with the Chinese Crested dog.
Chihuahuas were discovered by the famous Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus,
who brought the breed to Europe’s attention in the 1500’s. However, it is interesting to note that Chihuahuas were not introduced to North America until the 18th
century. They were finally recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1904. The
name Chihuahua was given to the breed because it was found in the Mexican State
of Chihuahua.

record for most tennis balls in
the mouth at any one time. Augie has successfully gathered
and held five tennis balls in her mouth all at the same time.
