sorry I didn't update Friday,but I did update today for Halloween. To make it up to you, I have 2 scary beaver and Halloween facts for you. 1: Beavers can be the size of a 9 year old. They are second largest rodent to the capybara. number 2: apparently,when a baby beaver is stuck in a cage, it will instinctively bite at the air to imitate chewing bark to make a dam. SO SAD. Halloween fact 1: Jack-o-lantern comes from this dude named jack who tricked the devil into climbing a tree and then writing a cross on the tree to stop him from climbing down. He made a deal to let the devil go if he didn't take his soul. So when he died and heaven didn't take him, he became a haunted spirit in a carved out turnip because pumpkins came from America. 2: The Incubus (I think that's its name) is a mythical creature that sat on the back of sleeping people, suffocating and smothering them. This is where the word nightmare came from. BOOM!
