A lucky day, when turtle hatchlings were reported by a roadside and they turned out to be Blandings Turtles. There is a great story about how the Blandings turtle had to hold the sun in its mouth and that is why their chins are and bottom shell is yellow.

It had been years since I had seen Otters. Which sucks cause they are fun to watch. After a hike at "The Crack" in Killarney, we stopped for Fish chips and there the otters were just off the dock. Whole team waiting for Fish and Chips left overs.

I'm still waiting for a Blu-ray release of "Coo of the Far Seas" (1993). There is an HD master, but it's only broadcast on television in Japan occasionally.

God I love the goofy way a ferret hops around instead of running when they’re really happy or excited

I will take this dumb take as a flimsy springboard to show the absolutely exquisite apple pie that my friend made of me and my husband for our wedding

Super non-controversial take: Oglaf continues to be one of the best comics on the internet.

Our dogs were going crazy on a fall day years ago. Looking up into the neighbouring pine tree we saw why. A young black bear, looking for a way past all the barking dogs in our yards.

Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale, prattles on about how much he "loves the Declaration of Independence" and how everyone should memorize it. But he quotes from it selectively, skipping over the part about Indigenous peoples as "merciless Indian savages." nativenewsonline.net/opinion/reve...

One thing photos don't capture is the awesome immensity of these structures filling the sky, bridging the boundary between Earth and space.

Beech tree leaves are tenacious. They cling to their branches throughout the winter, which really makes them stand out in the woods.

With Zootopia 2 coming out very soon, I figured I'd share the animatic of the DMV scene from the first film. I still can't get over how funny Judy's expressions are drawn in these boards. Just hilarious.

Very interesting contrast to the infamous exploding whale story (gift link)

Now, I don’t live in acorn woodpecker territory, but from what I’ve read about them, this is strictly acorn woodpecker behaviour. Were the holes full of nuts? 🪶

One of the first people I met in vertebrate paleontology. A terrific guy and a fantastic artist. Gone far too soon.

Three weeks ago I set out to get an abandoned crane to a wildlife Sanctuary. The ones where I lived could not take it in. So Woodlands wildlife sanctuary made arrangement for a pilot to pick up "Ducky". To the pilot Kai, who volunteered to do the trip, i am grateful. Ducky will be released spring

gwitch gave me such powerful earworms it has been 3 years since I saw this scene and I will STILL break absolute silence by going "ba ba ba BA DA DUMMMMMMM" I also totally unwillingly try my very best el4n impression to say "gundam" in the exact same way he does right at the end of this clip
