Dinner Party

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!
Today is Wednesday, May 31st, 2017.

The New Item of the Day is a Graduation Gown...
Purchase one in the Jam Mart Clothing Store for 500 gems.
It comes in the color varieties above.

Also, available in the Jam Mart Furniture Store...
You can pick up Sand Pyramids for 500 gems.

This newer version of a pool costs 3 Diamonds.

The New Video of the Day is "Where do reindeer live?"...
Watch this video now in the Brady Barr Theater.


Did You Know?
Every Wednesday you learn interesting facts about Animal Jam in the Did You Know segment.

Did you know you can get a golden Pro badge from Splash and Dash?
If you get first place in the underwater version of the Jamaa Derby called Splash and Dash, you will get a silver badge. However, if you play the "Pro" version and get first place, your animal will have a golden badge.

Did you know that the Barrel Sponge was originally members only?
The Barrel Sponge is an underwater item that used to be members only. However, in February of 2014 it was changed to nonmembers because the Sunken Ship den became nonmember.

Did you know an Adventure Command Post existed?
The Adventure Command Post was similar to the Adventure Base Camp in Sarepia Forest. This was a base camp for the 2D adventures. Unfortunately, it only lasted around two months before it was removed and the adventures moved to the Adventure Base Camp.

Clown Masks

Welcome to the Animal Jam Sky Blog!
Today is Tuesday May 30th, 2017.

The New Item of the Day is a Giant Egyptian Scarab...
Buy one in the Jam Mart Furniture Store for 450 gems.

Also, available in the Diamond Shop...
You can purchase a Mushroom Water Feature for 2 diamonds.

The New Video of the Day is "Do all ocean animals eat meat?"...
Watch this video now in the Tierney Theater.


Item Spotlight

Every Tuesday a new item is analyzed under the Item Spotlight.

The Item Spotlight this week shines on Clown Masks...
I recently got a request to look into Clown Masks in the Item Spotlight segment. The Clown Mask was introduced to Bahari Bargains back in October 2011 after the Beta Days. That means this is NOT a Beta item. The Clown Mask is actually a Night of the Phantom item.

It was released a second time during the Night of the Phantom celebration the following year in 2012 with new colors. The old colors now have a RARE tag. Another item, called Clown Hair (seen above) looks like the Clown Mask, but is released at the Summer Carnival. If you think about, this item actually looks pretty scary! Like a zombie Liza the Alpha. O.o

Rarity: *** (Rare Colors worth more)
Status: Members, Underwater
Rare Item Monday: No
Popularity: ** (2/5 Stars)

Glitch Corner

Every Monday we look at the glitches surrounding the Animal Jam experience.

The Glitch Corner of the Week is about Invisible Tail Armor...
One of the newest items in Jamaa is the Western Tail Scarf that comes with the Wild West Armor set. This item has only been released for a few days but already has tons of glitches. The most common is the invisible floating tail glitch...
Notice on animals, such as koalas, pandas, penguins, etc., the Western Tail Scarf floats behind the animal since it has too short of a tail. It looks strange and cool at the same time. We have definitely seen this glitch before with other tail armor, like the ice tail armor and phantom tail armor. There is currently no fix because this is how it was designed by AJHQ.

Got a glitch to share? Comment a glitch you have seen below!


Sky News

Have you noticed some construction around the blog?
There are new icon graphics on the sidebar. Just another way to make your Animal Jam experience better. Have you tried hovering over them to see the cool effect? I hope you like it, tell me what you think! I am still working on the rest of them, but they should be finished within a few weeks.

Liza's Best Animal Tournament is into the ELITE EIGHT rounds. There are eight animals left, but only some will make it to the final four! Here is the updated tournament bracket...
The winners of yesterday's round were Deer and Foxes.

Round 13:
Comment Call: Vote for your favorite animal species.
SIX DAYS LEFT!

Have Fun and Happy Jamming!

Special Powers

Greetings Jammers!
Today is Sunday, May 28th, 2017.

The New Item of the Day is an Egyptian Table...
Purchase this in the Jam Mart Furniture Store for 500 gems.

Also, available at the Diamond Shop...
Buy a Surf Shop now for 2 diamonds. I love these new building items, like the Surf Shop and the Wild West Saloon. Hopefully AJHQ makes more like a coffee shop or a workshop garage.

The New Video of the Day is "Do worms have eyes?"...
Watch this video at the Brady Barr Theater.


This Week

Every Sunday we travel back to Animal Jam's past to see what happened this week in history.

This Week in Jamaa's Past...

May 30th, 2013 - "Diamonds Introduced"
It seems like just yesterday that Diamonds were introduced. This new currency drove jammers MAD! I can remember they were all outraged, but after time it was accepted. This Diamond currency is now the most important way of getting animals, pets, dens, and items.

May 29th, 2014 - "Hyenas Enter Jamaa"
These laughable animals came to Jamaa, and many jammers love them still! They were sold in the Diamond Shop for 10 Diamonds.

May 28th, 2015 - "Appondale Theater Opens"
The newest theater opened its doors in the Conservation Museum with an expansion from the back of the museum. This theater features short films made by Animal Jam animators.
