Can't find a new one? Well, you're not looking hard enough! There are some wonderful jammers out there that don't get enough credit for the hard work and dedication they insert into all their videos.

    Don't you think it should become a new era in the Animal Jam community? Same old stuff every year. Wisteriamoon, Twinkle0122, Julian2. As much as I adore those three jammers, I believe younger jammers should have a chance. Typicalrocky and Lovewithsongz have finally made their way into the light, which i'm glad. They are two great jammers that create funny videos. Here are a few more YouTubers who deserve more than they get.

Each episode is filled with humor, a life lesson, drama, and beautifully insane artwork by her younger sister Foxbeats, who makes the second jammer on this list.


 Foxbeats started art at a young age. She creates beautiful art which she saves on her DeviantArt. She is amazingly talented and even has a YouTube channel with great masterpieces. She's a very kind girl, just like her sister and she loves electric music and animals.

Why Jamaa Township Is Cooler Than You Think

     

        We all know Jamaa Township. The place where people go to trade (Besides Wootmoo's den, of course), throw parties, start fashion shows, and make new friends. But there's more to Jamaa Township than most people give it credit for.

    First of all, you must admire the snazzy design.



  

    The stone swirl adds a beautiful, friendly touch as the leaves create the nature concept. This is where most jammers enjoy advertising for their special events.

    If you go up the stone pathway, you see a visually- stunning Mira statue.

  
 
  This beautiful blue statue reminds jammers of the queen of Animal Jam, the one and only, Mira. Jammers can enjoy this view as the sun shines down on the statue, making it even more stunning.



    If you go down the Pathway, there's a selection of buildings to go into.

  
 

    As you can see, there is an amazing fountain in the middle of this area. This little area is very welcoming, and has quite a bit of entertaining things to enjoy.

   First off, we have the Pillow Room.





          The Pillow Room is a place where many people go to adopt or be adopted. It was intended as a place to chat and make friends, and no one is really sure why it turned into an adoption center. However, jammers enjoy it to this day.



  

    Next, we have the Sol Arcade.

        The Sol Arcade is a really fun, exciting gaming room for jammers to play games in. You can invite friends to play Best Dressed, challenge your buddy to a game of Wind Rider, enjoy a fun game of Spider Zapper, and so  much more! The design is a space and galaxy theme. There is a shop where you can buy some arcade games for yourself, and even a little galaxy/space store!


 Now for Club Geos!
 



       Club Geoz has been around for quite a while now, along with the Pillow Room. In Club Geoz, there a marvelous dance floor with lots of little lights. There is a huge, shiny disco ball. There are two little video games and a couch to sit on if you are bored. There is also a photobooth in which you can take some snazzy photos, and an amazing, cool DJ booth to top it off! I must say, my favorite thing in this room is the disco ball. I like the aesthetic of the place, and it's a really cool place you can go in jamaa.



    For the last one in this area of Jamaa Township, we have the Diamond Shop.



    When the Diamond Shop first opened on May 30, 2013, players were quite upset. To this day, people still prefer going somewhere else to shop over this beautiful building. Many jammers enjoy going here, though. Sometimes, they even come here just to see the stunning sight. There is a beautiful arctic wolf statue in which you can buy animals. Beside it you can purchase cute little pets, and in the rest of the store you can get things such as gems, clothing, claw machines, armor, den items, and more!

    Now that we are finished with the bottom half of Jamaa Township, we are going straight back to the middle.

  

 Here, we have the Jam Mart Clothing. I really like how this store is set up. It's really cool. You can buy a ton of cool stuff, and it's fun to look at. You can also recycle items here.





And finally, we have the Jam Mart Furniture.

    This place feels really homey. You can buy den items here (duh) and sit on the pillows and couches. You can also recycle stuff.



    So, how do you feel about Jamaa Township? What's your favorite part? Is it the naturalistic outdoors? What about the cool fountain? Maybe Club Geoz?

  I think we can all agree on one thing- Jamaa Township is pretty awesome.

Owls

   Owls are very interesting creatures. They sleep during the day, and hunt during the night. This is called being Nocturnal.

The beak of the owl is short, curved, and downward-facing, and typically hooked at the tip for gripping and tearing its prey. It mainly hunts mice and other small creatures. 

Owls can rotate their necks 270 degrees. A blood-pooling system collects blood to power their brains and eyes when neck movement cuts off circulation.

Owls hunt other owls. Great Horned Owls are actually the top predator of the smaller Barred Owl.

In fact, owls are insanely good hunters. Check out this video to learn why:

Barn Owls swallow their prey whole—skin, bones, and all—and they eat up to 1,000 mice each year. 

 So what did we learn today?

   We learned that owls are awesome.

Bald Eagles~ Source- The Spring Nature Guide From AJHQ

  Bald Eagles have been America's national bird for over 200 years. Did you know that bald eagles aren't actually bald? They just have little white feathers that make it look like they don't have any hair on their head. Bald Eagles usually eat fish. They have wonderful eyesight, therefore they can spot a fish in the water from 10,000 feet in the air! They catch their fish by swooping down at 100 MPH and  snatching the fish out of the water! When eagles are first born, they don't have the white feathers on their head. The white feathers actually start to grow when they are around 4 years old. Did you know that bald eagles can live up to approximately 35 years in the wild?

  Well, that's all for today, folks. Again, I got this information from the Spring Nature Guide that AJHQ put in their spring AJ box! Order the summer one today: www.animaljambox.com

  Welcome to the Heart Of Animal Jam blog! This blog was of course inspired by the one and only Snowyclaw! Her hard work and spirit (Get it? No? Okay) made me want to create an Animal Jam Blog. I already have a blog, actually two blogs, but they were about my life. I want to create one about Animal Jam... So, here it is! Here I will be posting facts about animals, drawings of different creatures, updates about the Animal Jam community, and every week I will give a special jammer a shoutout! The goals I have for this blog to achieve is to make people a bit more educated in the nature category, for people to learn good lessons, and for people to just enjoy what I post and have tons of fun!
