Famous Animals
There are famous animals on TV, in the cinema or even in cartoons…
One of them is the well-known dog, Rin-tin-rin (Spanish version) which I have read to be a German shepherd’s grandson. It survived the I World War. He got safe from bomb attacks and it was taken and adopted by an American Officer who took it to California. Over there, due to several circunstances, it became into a cinema actor; its children and grandchildren too. They were soldiers partens in Westerns. It was brave and it carried out impossible operations. Another famous film dog is Lassie who broke into the film industry in 1943.
Yet the most famous film animal is Chita, a film industry product, it is Tarzan’s partner.
The famous chimpacee was owned by an animal care taker who took him from Africa.
He tamed the chimpacee. Its owner became an millionaire thanks to it. Both of them managed to live profitably in their Californian residence.

Animals and Cinema

ASTERIX COMIC

Asterix as a caracter was created in 1959 in Bobigny, France. The first chapter of Asterix The Gaul appeared in the French magazine Pilote. In 1961 the first collection under the same name was published. More than 6.000 copies were sold.
These comics have been translated into more than 150 languages and dialects around the globe, including Latin.
In Spain more tan 33 books have been published. Moreover, in Paris there is the Asterix Amusement Park, this park has rivalled Disneyland Paris since 1989.
More than 10 films have been inspired by the universe of the battle Gauls.
It´s an important icon in France. For example, the first satellite launched by French in 1965 was called Asterix, which takes the name from this famous character. I like cartoons very much,in this case it is me favourite film. I like cartoons more the films.

My Mice

Mice are beautiful animals and they are vey intelligent.
I had four mice, two black female mice and two albino female mice. Their name were Arya, Nymeria, Imala and Gwynith.
Arya and Nymeria, the black mice, could have been food for other animals in the zoo, but a man gave them to me. They came when they were 3 weeks old, they were very little and beautiful. (photo)




















I trained them to come to me when I called them. They were nicer, funnier and very playloving. I loved them.

Imala and Gwynith arrived to me home when Arya and Nymeria were dead. I adopted them in an animal welfare programme that has a lot of small animals, rabbits, hamsters, ginea pigs, mice, rats,... to be adopted, the web site is www.madrigueraweb.org

Imala and Gwynith were adult mice and because of that they were shier animals. They had allergy to almost everithing and Gwynith had lot of problems in the skin because of that. I took her to the vet lot of times.
