ENZOology is raising funds for cancer research!

Enzoology joins the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s (LAF) fight against cancer by raising funds through the sale of the Season One DVD. Buying the DVD allows you to do something bold in the face of cancer by supporting the mission of the LAF to inspire and empower people affected by cancer.

Enzo's family has been struck hard by cancer including Enzo's mother who was recently survived a difficult battle with this deadly disease.

Funds raised will enable the LAF to continue helping people across the nation with the physical, emotional and practical challenges of cancer. Since its inception in 1997, the LAF has awarded more than $29 million to cancer survivorship programs and research.

About the Lance Armstrong Foundation
The Lance Armstrong Foundation inspires and empowers people affected by cancer. We provide the practical tools and resources survivors need to live life on their own terms. Our goal is to create a fundamental change in the expectations and experience of living with cancer and to lead and sustain a survivorship movement to help eliminate suffering due to cancer. We believe that in the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. The LAF was founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong and is located in Austin, Texas.

My experience on the Ellen Show

Well, the show was on TV today. I really had fun. Some guy named Alfred picked us up at the airport but the card he was holding spelled my name wrong! I teased him about it all the way to the hotel. He was really nice and cool!

They had all these tarantulas, geckos, frogs and a python there for me to talk about. I wish I could have talked more about the animals but everything was moving so fast, I couldn't keep up. She was really funny! So I would laugh, the people then laughed and that made me laugh even more. It was crazy!

The whole thing was amazing and fun. We really had an adventure. There's a parking garage at Universal Studios called Jurassic Parking! That was so funny.

I told my mom and dad I want to live in L.A. because that's where they make all the movies.

Tarantulas!


I just got back from the University of Texas Brackenridge Field Lab. We shot the next episode of Enzoology - "The Chilean Rose Haired Tarantula". My dad actually let it crawl on his hand! (He hates spiders LOL). Even my mom held it and petted it. It was awesome. Her name was Rose and she was HUGE! She tried to crawl right up my face. You should see her fangs - red and giant. I met a bunch of scientists too. Man, that was fun. Here's some stuff about the tarantula.

The Tarantula is one of the largest arachnids.

Tarantulas are carnivores - they eat insects. Some get so big they even eat frogs, mice and birds!

They can be found in most of the worlds tropical, subtropical and arid regions and live in the ground. In America they live in the Southwest.

Tarantulas don't spin webs - instead they grab their prey and inject venom that paralyzes the prey so they can suck their guts out.

They have an interesting defense mechanism - they can throw hairs from their body - when these hairs get in a predators skin, it's really irritating.

Tarantulas lay eggs and a single nest can contain up to 1000 babies!

There are 800 species of Tarantulas

They are harmless to humans. They can bite but they usually don't unless you really bug them!
