Today’s infographic is a great summary of the variety of life we see not only in the species and creatures in the world, but also the variety of their lives. It’s very interesting to see lifespans laid out in this way, and to see that humans really are essentially on the high end of the middle of the pack. I am sure, however, as medicine and care advances we will see ourselves moving into the high end of lifespans. Would you care to be like the immortal jellyfish though? [VIA]

We all love our four (and two) legged furry (and feathered) friends. Some people even love no legged, scaly friends! Have you ever really thought of how much it costs to keep our pets their healthiest and happiest each year, however? Today’s infographic calculates the average annual costs for various household pets including several sizes of dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. This would be an excellent study in class about budgeting and calculating averages as a compare/contrast activity. [VIA]

1914. “Puppy ‘mother’ in costume holding kitten ‘baby’.” Like millions of other kitties, this one was probably adopted. Photo by Harry W. Frees. (This just goes to show that cute animal pictures have been around forever! – NJB)

I’m not sure when this one came out, but my research shows that having been created for Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia it was anywhere from 1922-1968. My guess is one of the editions from the 1950s. Regardless, this is a great graphic for visualizing the lifespans of different animals. The numbers on the timeline correspond to years and while it’s not as accurate or comprehensive as we might be used to today, it’s fun too look back at the evolution of graphic data displays. [VIA]
