As summer arrives and spring bids you goodbye, you and your four-legged pal are most likely to get in trouble. Why?

Because summer is the season of nasty ticks, especially wood ticks, that attach to you and suck on your blood. They leave behind tick-borne diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. However, not all of these ticks spread diseases.

Only three types of ticks are harmful, this includes the blacklegged tick (aka deer tick), American dog tick (wood tick) and lone star tick. These ticks don't look too different from each other, so it becomes tricky to identify them.

Ticks were believed to be transmitters of Lyme disease but scientists have proven otherwise. But these pests are still the primary carriers of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF).

Wolverines, with the scientific name Gulo gulo, have a large muscular body and they somewhat look like a bear. They belong to the weasel family, despite their looks.

Wolverine animals have a mask of dark and thick fur around their eyes and forehead with a stripe of blond fur that runs down from each shoulder to the base of their tail. They also have short legs.

The size of a wolverine is 25-43 in (65-110 cm) in length and 63 in (160 cm) tall. Most females weigh less than male wolverines.

Wolverines often resort to a vegetarian diet. They eat leaves, plants, and berries but this does not make up to their entire diet as they are also fond of eating meat. They prey upon rabbits, rodents, and caribou. They also dig burrows and eat hibernating animals.

Wolverines are often considered to be dangerous as they are very aggressive in nature. Wolverine claws are very deadly, sharp and capable of killing humans. However, no such attack has yet been documented.

There are so many interesting facts about wildebeest. They are known as a wild beast.

Blue wildebeest (plural gnu or wildebeests), conjointly known as the gnu, is an antelope from the mammal genus. It belongs to the bovidae family, which includes goats, antelopes, cattle, sheep, and different artiodactylous horned ungulates.

Connochaetes taurinus includes two species, each of them are native to Africa, the black wildebeest or the white tailed antelope and the other blue gnu or brindled antelope.

Fossil records show that these species diverged millions of years back, leading to southern wildebeest and northern wildebeest. The white bearded wildebeest stayed in their original range and altered only a little from the ancestral species.

In contrast, the black antelope modified a lot to adapt to their own open grassland environment. The most obvious means of telling the two species apart are the variations within their coloring and their horns.

In East Africa, the blue gnu is one of the most exuberant big-game species. Some populations of blue gnu tend to perform an annual migration to newer grazing grounds. However, the black wildebeest are generally unsettled. Some baby wildebeest (known as calves) fall prey to giant predators, particularly hyenas, lions and cheetahs.
