Hello everyone,

Meet my dog, Laurence! 
He is a Jack Russell Terrier and about 19 months old.
He loves to chew on things so I often buy him chewy treats and toys so he doesn’t chew on other things in the house!
Laurence is a very energetic and rowdy boy so it’s important that he gets a lot of exercise everyday. We go on long walks in my neighborhood and play catch ball and tug-of-war at home. 
When he’s not running around and being active he enjoys taking naps on the sofa especially when laying next to me.
I love him very much.

Hello, Everyone.

I really love a good historical mystery.  I often spend my free time watching documentaries on the Internet.  I especially enjoy watching ones about the ancient world.  Not too long ago, I found out about the Yonaguni Mystery.

Off of Yonaguni Island, there is a mysterious rock formation 26 meters under the surface.  What makes this formation interesting, is that there is a ongoing debate about the origins of this formation.  Some people believe it to be the remains of an ancient structure, while others believe it to be just a freak natural occurrence.  There are many unique natural formations around the world, like the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.  

I’m not sure which I believe, but finds like this one help keep our imaginations alive.  I also think it’s great for getting more people interested in the past, enjoying the outdoors, and encouraging people to do some sleuth work of their own.  Which do you think it is, man-made or natural?  If you ever have the chance to go to Yonaguni and are interested in diving, please check it out!

Hello everyone! 

On Saturday, June 4th, I was teaching at our Shigenobu school when we had an unusual visitor! With so many fields near the school, we are used to an occasional spider, frog, or bee coming to visit our school. On that day though, we discovered a baby bat!

Some people are quite scared of bats, but most are harmless and only eat insects or fruit. I actually find them quite cute! In America, though, bats are often carriers of disease and are usually killed. Japan is fortunate to have eliminated rabies, the most dangerous disease that bats sometimes have in the United States. 

Our visitor was safely removed with a net by Fuji staff and returned to the fields. It is very important not to touch wild animals!

Bats are an often misunderstood animal, a topic which is covered in one of our textbooks, Impact, from National Geographic. All animals play an important role in the environment.

Have you seen any wild animals recently? How do you feel about bats?
