Did you know a famed and historic Illinois zoo is finally getting koalas?
I guess that, for all the times that I have been to the Brookfield Zoo, which is numerous, I never considered that they have zero koalas.
Well, that all changes today because, for the 1st Time in its 90-year History, the Brookfield Zoo has some koalas...
There's been a long build up to this once-in-every-220-years cicada emergence, and it will all start taking place within the next couple of weeks. With somewhere around a trillion cicadas popping out of the ground, maybe you've wondered what creatures will eat these big, loud bugs, and will you need to rush your dog to the vet if it happens in your yard.
The annual spring migration of birds is quite a big deal, but I didn't realize just how many migrating birds cross over Illinois when it happens. In just the past couple of days, over 10 million birds have flown through Illinois' skies on their way to their summer homes, and more are going to be crossing the Land of Lincoln this week.
Illinois gets many visitors in nature during the springtime. However, some are definitely more pleasant than others. This may just be the most annoying of them all.
