Hey jammers! Today is the big update to celebrate the anniversary of Animal
Jam becoming a live, online game of imagination and learning! First, here
is today's new item.
Gardening HatNow on to the excitement! This month marks the second year of
Animal Jam, and what better way to celebrate than with a party and a HUGE
amount of cake? Maybe go wading in frosting.
Be sure to stop by the party for a land of sweets!
And hidden in a slice of cake is the party store, stocked full of limited
edition sham... more »
Construction Hat
Hey jammers! Very human clothing item today in Jam Mart Clothing,
interesting choice, but still, too human for me.
Meanwhile, AJHQ posted two new jamtastic articles on the Daily Explorer, be
sure to read 'em and stay up-to-date!
That's about all I have for today, happy jamming!
New art is posted on the Spirit Art mini blog!
Large Planter
Hey jammers! My suspension is lifted (after three days) and apparently I
had a gem earning issue (I think it was because I recycled some silver
blocks my friend gave me as a gift).
Anyway, today's new item is a Large Planter, a member item in Treetop
Gardens, the plant shop in Sarepia Forest.
This is the neat animated, plant-popping-up one that everyone likes. ^.^
Also, don't forget your Daily Explorer article, it's due tomorrow, so get
it done ASAP and turn it in to AJJC!
And finally, thank you to all the jammers who sent me a Rare Sailor Hat,
and all my readers, you guys are the be... more »
Rare Sailor Hat
Hey jammers! Today's "rare" item is on the second page of Bahari Bargains.
. . Get your own Rare Sailor Hat today!
My account was suspended for a few days, for reasons AJHQ hasn't told me
yet, hopefully they'll respond. >.< I think it must have to do with jammers
who don't like my blog reporting me. :(
I'm really sad about it, I wish I knew what I did wrong. Many jammers have
been telling me about the new code, so here it is. . . *MONKEYSRULE*
So many jammers told me
about the code I can't give
credit to only one jammer!Happy jamming everyone, have a good day at school!

Graham Fountain
Hey Jammers! Today's new item is the Graham Fountain, located in the
Monkeys Only Party.
I'm awfully thrilled about this, we seem to be getting closer and closer to
having the Shamans/Alphas come back!
What do you think of it? Their are also little fountains that shoot up
water. This item reminds me of the Zios Fountain that came out a few weeks
ago... Do you think every shaman will have their own fountain? That would
be cool!
Round Glasses
Hey jammers! The items of the day are Round Glasses, luckily they're
nonmember, so everyone can buy a pair of their very own! To get one be sure
to stop by Jam Mart Clothing.
They're an interesting idea, but I have a feeling they aren't going to be
super popular. Glasses don't seem to be commonly worn clothing. What do you
think of the new item?

Golden Throne
Hey jammers! Today's item is the egyptian influenced Golden Throne, sold in
the furniture orb of Epic Wonders.
Meanwhile, there is an additional location for the AJ video.
Plus there is a brand new News Crew assignment!
Are you going to enter? Do you have time to enter?
New art is posted on the Spirit Art mini blog!
Potted Plants
Hey jammers! Another perviously rare plant item has returned to Jamaa, the
Potted Plants, now sold in Treetop Gardens.
Also, AJHQ has posted about the ending of the Summer Carnival (next
update?) and the new Ticket Shop. Oh dear, I wish school hadn't started, I
barely have any carnival items. /).(\
I guess that means the Summer Carnival items will be rarer than other
clearance items. What do you think of the returning plants? See you around
Jamaa, happy jamming!
New art is posted on the Spirit Art mini blog!
Tall Cactus
Hey jammers! Sorry to post late. Today's new item is the Tall Cactus in
Sarepia Forest's Treetop Gardens shop.
And congratulations to Miss Jellybelly for winning the News Crew Contest,
welcome to the News Crew Miss!
Happy jamming everyone, see you in Jamaa.
Phantom Throne
Hey jammers! Today's new spooky and phant-astic item is the Phantom Throne,
sold in the furniture orb of Epic Wonders.
What do you think? To go with the Day of the Phantom theme we have two
Scary Cat Hat glitches from *Crunchers*.
When you sit as a tiger the eyes on the cat hat swap colors, and when you
dance the hat hops off your head! Now for the weekly story focus from the
Monday Mystery post.
There were so many amazing and creative stories, click here to read them.
That's all for now, happy jamming everyone!

Rare King's Crown
Hey jammers! Today's new "rare" item is the Rare King's Crown, sold on the
seventh page of Jam Mart Clothing.
Dang, low gems again. Anywho, AJHQ posted the Rare Item Monday post at a
earlier time than usual it seems.
Also, here's a random glitch when you sit with a Rare Phantom Hat on a
monkey. It gets darker, almost grey!
Thanks for sending it in *superscott23g23*! Now for our weekly Monday
Mystery. . . And it's about a shaman!
Where has Greely been these past years in Jamaa? What magic has he been
working on? What mysterious quests has he completed? Be sure to comment
with ideas, ha... more »
Monkey Banana Throne
Hey jammers! Today's daily item is the Banana Throne, sold exclusively at
the banana hut in the Monkeys Only Party.
Thanks for the picture *chorus2010*, and thank you guys for sending so many
screenshots! Here's AJHQ's post.
Anyway, the interesting article *Dance287* found is going to be reposted, I
think it's interesting ideas got buried in all the excitement of the newest
member gift, the monkey pet.
That's just a small portion of the article, click here to read the entire
thing! It appears to be the very first "Backgrounder and Storyline." Though

The September Monthly Member Gift has arrived to Jamaa, be sure to go
online and your adorable monkey pet today!
Your first monkey is free, all you need to do is create one . . .
. . . and you're ready to start throwing bananas!
Nonmembers received this slide show card.
Wondering where to get that neat mask? The Pets Only Party!
If you'd like to have another monkey click an empty pet slot and you'll get
the complete pet finder, you got it from there!
Have fun with the new monkey pets jammers!
Back-to-School Backpack
Hey jammers! Animal Jam decided that it's time to remind us about the
upcoming torture of school (in my opinion). Very human, but a pretty neat
design, don't you think?
AJHQ has also posted on the Daily Explorer.
News of the upcoming monkey pets is here as well, we should start seeing
the member gifts arrive in waves throughout the day. Comment about it when
you get yours!
They look absolutely I can't wait to make one! ^,^ Anyway, the interesting

Monkey Jungle Gym
Hey jammers! Today's new item is a Jungle Gym (how fitting!), sold at the
shop in the Monkeys Only (Jungle) party.
Thank you for sending all the screenshots in, it was very helpful! *
TheSafari07* was the first with the picture submitted.
Plus I forgot to mention the other items at the Monkey Party.
^.^ Sorry for the shot post today jammers, I have an interesting article to
share with you tomorrow though, don't worry!
Monkeys, Pets, and More
Click here to see the complete *Jamaa Journal*!
Hey jammers! Wow, so much is going on. Sadly no shamans/alphas, but maybe
next update! This update, however, is all about monkeys. Now everyone can
have their own monkey!
Can you believe it? We donated 100 MILLION gems to the monkeys of Jamaa.
Well done jammers! I wonder what the next endangered animal will be. Which
one do you think?
With the monkey returning the Monkeys Only Party has arrived in Jamaa! Click

Pet monkeys will come September 1st as the Monthly Member gift, not sure

Monkeys Only Party
Hey jammers! Here's the need to know info on the Monkeys Only Party. First,
it is made up of rainforest canopy. Leaves, branches, vines and open sky
make up the whole party, it's a very natural scene! Quite beautiful, don't
you think?
There is a neat little music shop in the left treetops.
Near the center is the banana hut, click bananas for your own!
The left and right branches hole monkey plushie machines.
What do you think of the party, jammers? I think it's a pretty neat and
jamaasian place to hang out with your monkey buds. ^.^
Mushroom Chair
Hey jammers! The new item of the day is the Mushroom Chair, sold for
members only in Jam Mart Furniture. You like?
Also, here is today's AJHQ Daily Explorer post.
Also, there were able to respond to my Alpha questions.
I'm very happy they were able to reply to what I asked, thank you Josh! ^.^
And it also made me realize my mistake. By taking away the word "shamans"
AJHQ has made the game approachable for all religions. Also, the world
"alpha" means "first" or "beginning" and isn't that what each of the animal
leaders is? Peck was the first rabbit, Liza the first panda, ect.
Not to me... more »
Mushroom Table
Hey jammers! Today's new item is the Mushroom Table being sold in Jam Mart
Furniture. What do you think of it?
To bad it's not nonmember. :( Here are some posts from AJHQ.
AJHQ also responded to my question about the shamans changing to alphas,
but only a pre-typed email. >.<
Now I'd like to talk about the upcoming school year. I hope you guys will
keep visiting, I'll try and keep posting, but posts may be later. A good
friend of mine, *Goldfishypuppy*, has offered to help me with the daily
posts. Is that alright with you guys?
Yes, she is a friend, but Goldy is also an experienced bl... more »
Rare Lei and . . . Alphas?
Hey jammers! Today's new "rare" item is the Rare Lei on the second page of
Jam Mart Clothing. Nonmember item!
I guess I click the store too fast and this popped up.
Funny adding glitch I guess. ^.^ Too bad I couldn't use all those gems! Now
for our Monday mystery . . . but I guess it's kinda mixed with the
Jamaasian Movement as well. Read below. . .
*Rainye* sent this article in, click here to read it on AJ's help site.
It seems AJHQ is changing shamans to alphas.
Some say it may be offensive because it's affiliated with a certain
culture, but I think that the word "shaman" is perfectl... more »
Mine Shaft Door
Hey jammers! A fun new (sadly member) item is now being sold in Jam Mart
Furniture, the Mine Shaft Door!
What a jamtastic addition to the Enchanted Hollow, I bought one right away!
Meanwhile it seems that some are confused on how to submit to the News Crew
contest.

Make sure it's below 250 words and has correct spelling.

Monocle
Hey jammers! Neat new item today jammers, sadly not for land animals
though. ^.^ The Bahari Bargains Monocle!
Although quite human I think I like these kinds of items, maybe because
they're based on history, not modern day? Anyway, the new News Crew
assignment is here, interesting topic.
Don't procrastinate jammers, get your article in super snappy! If you need
help with screenshots click here. Remember, the screenshot should be of an
Jamaa turtle, not a real one!
New artwork on the Spirit Art mini blog!
Fox Tail Chair
Hey jammers! Today's new member enchanted wood item is the Fox Tail Chair.
You can buy it in Jam Mart Furniture.
AJHQ has also posted something new.
Also, here is a funny sound glitch to try out, sent in by *werty12345*.
Don't try it if you're easily annoyed by noise!
Click a pet icon anywhere in Jamaa.
Click the next button on the bottom right.
Click the randomize name lever.
Quickly click the close button.
Click the "Leave" before the lever sound stops.
Enjoy the beautiful noise.
Did I say beautiful? I meant very painful. To end the torture repeat the
steps but let the lever noise... more »
Crossbow
Hey jammers! I still haven't decided on the time or date for the party, but
I'm working on it. Meanwhile, the new item of the day is the Crossbow, for
sale in the clothing globe of Epic Wonders.
Thank goodness we have a break in the golden items, but doesn't this seem a
little violence oriented for the social game that Animal Jam is? Hmm. . .
Also, AJHQ posted two new articles.
It is confirmed, the den contest is not over! Still, a bit sad for everyone
(including me) who sent in underground dens ideas and so were automatically
rejected. /).(\ Oh well, exciting new den to look forward ... more »
Wooden Toy Box
*We have over 700,000 views!*
*When should the blog party be held?*
Hey jammers! The tree theme continues with the Wooden Toy Box for sale in
Jam Mart Furniture. What do you think?
Thank you for all the words of congrats everyone. To answer your frequent
question, no, News Crew contests winners do not get a AJHQ Plaque. The
reward is the camera badge. In regards to if nonmembers can win, I'm not
sure. I recommend asking
AJHQ. If nonmems could win I would think the badge would become unlocked
but you couldn't wear it until membership.
And now for a wacky glitch I got from slow flashpl... more »
Tree Trunk Sink
Hey jammers! So sorry for the super late daily item post, I wasn't in range
of a computer. Today's new item is a Tree Trunk Sink, kinda like the mix of
nature and human aspects.
Click here to read yesterday's stories, here's a fun one.
Also, a lot of people have been advertising their blogs in the comments
latley, but it really seems to stop conversation sometimes. I was hoping
you guys could stop doing pure advertising and instead just post the URL of
your blog at the end of a true comment. Do you think that will work?
Meanwhile, the winner of the News Crew contest was posted.

Rare Seaweed Hair
Hey jammers! Today's "rare" item is the Rare Seaweed Hair. You can purchase
one on the second page of Bahari Bargains.
My post tomorrow will be quite late, but if I know the item it shall be
tweeted via twitter, and you can read it in my twitter box on the right
side of the blog. ^.^ Now . . . Mystery Monday!
With shamans returning, why not ponder about them?
Where has Sir Gilbert been these long few years? What have his adventures
been? Why is he returning to Jamaa?

Rainbow Scales

Hey jammers! Today there's a really neat (member) suit for underwater
animals in Bahari Bargains, Rainbow Scales!

Diamond Necklace
Hey jammers! A very expensive daily item has presented itself in the Epic
Wonders clothing orb, the Diamond Necklace!
I forgot to mention the new post on the Daily Explorer.
All items are on sale now! Kinda strange, but I'm not one to argue over
cheaper prices. ^.^ Also, this update's calender!
And the double gem game of the update is Wind Rider!
That's all I have for today, happy jamming all!

Tree Stump Chair
Hey jammers! The neat new daily item is the Tree Stump Chair which is sold
to members only in Jam Mart Furniture.
Be sure to check out my update post below, or click here! It seems many of
you guys are wondering if the Jamaasian Movement is over. Well, I'd like to
say that I don't think it'll ever be over. We always need to remind AJHQ
once and a while about it's original goal for Jamaa. They've done such a
wonderful job though, I think they deserve a break from our petitioning.
Let's just see how the shamans return in upcoming updates. I think our next
step may involve asking AJHQ ab... more »

Hey jammers! So much interesting stuff with this update, I'm practically
bursting with excitement! First is today's new item.
You can buy your own Tree Stump Table at Jam Mart Furniture. It seems to
have a lot to do with the new underground den called the Enchanted Hollow
sold in the Den Shop.
Here is an overview picture of what the inside looks like.
And to be honest I don't know if it's the official winner of den contest or
not. They made it too fast for it to be selected, so I guess AJHQ just

Ruin Walls
Do you want to *make a difference*? . . click here . . .
Hey jammers! Animal Jam has another fun item for us today, the Ruin Walls.
I like do the human and nature mix. . .
But if these items are referring to an upcoming den, then I feel I'll be
kind of sad. Because it means AJHQ decided what den the winning submission
will be before even considering them all. :(
Enough of my complaining, here's a fun thing to do, a neat little trick to

Too bad I don't have the gems to buy one. >.< Anyway, on to our Monday
mystery! All across Jamaa they reside. . .
Spookily similar these spears exist, made for something. What is their
purpose? What is there story? Are they for the past, present, or future?
Why are there so many tucked away?

Monkey Peace Sign
Gather round jammers, for the secret of the peace-sign chested monkey. This
mysterious symbol was spotted on a jammer long ago in a Best Dressed game.
Everyone assumed that it must be a bot, for no such peace sign was possible
on a monkey. Or was it?
This problem was solved by *blahblahblahblahblahme*.
Look at the monkey's chest. See the partial peace sign there? Wacky, so
many jammer were stumped by the puzzles of this silly symbol when it was
really just a leaf pattern all along.
What should be the next AJ Secret?
Stegosaurus Tail
Do you want to *make a difference*? . . click here . . .
Hey jammers! My prediction has come through, today's new item is
a Stegosaurus Tail, sold in the Summer Carnival.
How cool is that? I wonder what it looks like.

about AJHQ Plaques. Click here to check out all the information about these
neat new items of Jamaa!

The Forgotten Story
*By Snowyclaw*
*
*
The wind danced with the sand in the thin air of the forgotten plains. Mira
stood on the crest of a high dune, proud and tall, but almost transparent
with exhaustion. Thousands of years fighting the darkness can leave even
the strongest of spirits without the strength to go on. With this
encounter, however, Mira had something different, something she had been
saving for a time such as this.
This would be the end.
Her bright eyes watched the horizon patiently, watching as the darkness
invaded the sky, shadows rippling along the sand at a breathless pace. A

Neat and nature-ful design. ^.^ Also, I assumed wrong in my previous post,
this AJHQ Plaque wasn't from the contest.
Could someone explain to us how they got it? I'll send a letter to AJHQ,
but for now it's a mystery! I'm sorry about not posting a story from the
mystery monday, sometimes I just have a really hard time deciding which one
to shine the spiritlight on. :(

Harper's Beginning (Part 1)
*By Snowyclaw*

*Not much is known of the seal shaman, Harper. What was her life like
before she appeared so suddenly in Jamaa? Let's find out. . .*
*
*
*Chapter 1*
"See that gathering of stars, my child?" the mother harp seal asked her
daughter.
"Yes, mum," the pup replied.
"That is our spirit, the seal goddess Cithara. She is what gives all things
beautiful to this frozen land. From her eyes shine the northern lights,
from her sleek white fur comes the snow, from her silver claws the ice, and
from her tail the endless currents of the ocean."

Birth of the Phantoms
*By Animal Jam*
*
*
*Mira, the Sky Mother, was heartbroken after she lost her companion spirit,
Zios, the Sky Father. Her feelings of sadness and anger fell to the ground
as whisps of black fog, a dark substance that comes from the fabric of
time. These 'tears' of Mira's spirit mixed with the elements of Jamaa and
formed the dark mysterious phantoms that haunt this land today. Due to the
sadness and anger that they were created from, the phantoms' only goal is
to bring chaos and destruction to Jamaa. *
**~adapted AJ legend from an ancient Jamaasian text~
Peck's Beginning
*By Snowyclaw*
***
**Many have heard of the artistic and spunky rabbit shaman, Peck. But where
did she come from? How did she get to Jamaa?**
*
*Chapter 1*
"This is boring," Rose muttered, puckering up her face in a pout.
"Aw come on sis, this is fun!" Peck replied, looking at the colorful sand
hopefully. Whiskers quivering in excitement.
"Not for me," Rose grumbled, "I don't like painting, it's pointless! It'll
only get washed away by the rain."
"But that IS the point!" Peck exclaimed, sprinkling sand artfully.
"Everything is temporary, that's what make life so special. Carrots don't ... more »
Sir Gilbert's Beginning
*By Snowyclaw*

*A great warrior and a caring shaman, Sir Gilbert is a worthy leader of
Jamaa. Where did he come from, and how did he become who he is today?*
*
*
*Chapter 1*
The night air was heavy and dark, perfect for a hunt. Like a night shadow
Gilbert slunk through the undergrowth, stalking a jungle herd. Nocturnal
creatures went about their business, their calls echoing into the night.
There was no breeze to carry his scent to the unwary jungle deer. Gilbert's
claws kneaded the damp soil, getting ready for the pounce. Bringing his
powerful haunches under him he crouched like ... more »
Greely's Beginning
*By Snowyclaw*
*All Jammers know of Greely, the dark wolf shaman, but what was he like in
his early years; before magic, before Jamaa.*
*Chapter 1*
The wind ruffled his fur as Greely stood on the grassy hill. Far below was
a caribou herd, one that, luckily enough, stumbled right into pack
territory. Darting in the shadows were the hunters, the swiftest and
strongest of the pack, who brought down the large kill. These were the
subordinate, directed by the beta they circled around the sick
caribou separated from the herd, then the alpha gave the signal. Greely
stepped forward.

Liza's Beginning
By Snowyclaw

*Many of you know of Liza as the kind and caring shaman that first welcomed
you to Jamaa, but no one knows of her beginning. It all started when a
panda was born in a small bamboo forest, near rural China...
Chapter 1
"Where are you going ma?"
"Liza, it's time you had your own feeding grounds, I can't take care of you
anymore."
"But ma..."
"You knew this day was coming, I'm going to leave you here, instead of
making you finding your own stead. You should be grateful."
Only because of those humans getting too close, Liza thought. She watched
her mother amble away, disa... more »
The Story
*By Animal Jam*
And so it was that the Sky Father was named Zios. He created many stars and
planets, and set them in motion. But after eons of creation, he became
lonely. So he created the Sky Mother, a grey heron, and named her Mira.
Mira was beautiful and kind and they were very happy together. She loved
Zios deeply and often told him how talented he was, encouraging him to
create. Together, Zios and Mira created their masterpiece: a lush land
filled with oceans, mountains, meadows, and all kinds of plants and
animals. They named this special world Jamaa, and for hundreds of years... more »
