Alan Blumhorst, 60, is the owner of the Rainbow Ranch Petting Zoo, located on a 170-year-old, family-owned farm in Nashville, IL, and home to as many as 30-35 different species of exotic and traditional farm animals, totaling about 220 animals before mating season, and anywhere from 300-400 after the babies are born. Animals, clockwise from top-left: Candy the Camel; a swan; Ziggy the Zebra; a white peacock; alpacas; Big Jake the Jacob Sheep; Skippy the Kangaroo; and Max the Macaw. Blumhorst uses alliteration when naming the animals on his farm because it helps the kids remember the animals.

Wood inserts a fiber rod into the sample to extract data used in detailing the aroma of 40 Below Joe-brand coffee. The technique is called solid-phase micro-extraction, Wood said. We use the fiber to absorb volatile compounds off of the coffee and then analyze it. (Cory Ray | @coryray_DE)
