Happy Caturday To Everyone! Fausto was checking up on his schedule and is now passed out. It's exhausting being a cat.

Sea otters have lungs 2.5 times larger than similar-sized land mammals, making them masters of buoyancy in the ocean.

Our rooster died 😭 He was actually really sweet and fluffy and we loved him 😭

In Nara, Japan, sika deer roam freely among cherry blossoms, creating a breathtaking scene each spring. These sacred creatures enjoy the beauty of hanami season too.

CW: Pet death Last night we said goodbye to Lilo, who has been a constant companion for the last 8 years. She was never anything other than sweet, curious, and loyal. In a universe of good dogs, she was one of the best.

Walking with Ravens 😁 One of the really lovely things that the Ravens do is walk with me (just for a short time) while I walk. It just feels so nice to have Ravens walk beside you 😀🥰

The largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars, thousands of star clusters in a section of the galaxy’s disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years. Original post

Without bees, not only would our plates be significantly emptier – the diversity and nutritional value of our food would also be severely limited. Many foods that we enjoy daily, such as berries, nuts, or coffee, are directly dependent on pollination by bees.

Friday

An unexpected start to the day when my wife and I squeezed a step ladder into the car and drove to a sewer with an open lid she'd discovered while out running. We soon lifted a dozen frogs, a baby toad, two lizards, a young slow worm, a pair of fire salamanders and two crested newts to the surface!

The Traveling Wilburys 38 years ago WUT?!?

Pure happiness ❤️

So, this has been the most awful 7 days. But, this morning was the worst. My beloved English cocker spaniel, Thearest—died at 3:22 am. This day has been work and crying. She was born on 12/12/12. She was the very best girl a girl could have in tough times and good times! A real account tmmrw.

This reminded me of something. In the late 1980's, there was a particular puffin at the Central Park Zoo in Manhattan that would press his beak against my lips on the other side of the window of his tank. I figured it was the red lipstick that was the attraction. Every visit, I had sweet kisses.

Me: Mom, can we get chicken nuggets at McDonald's? Mom: We have chicken nuggets at home The chicken nuggets at home:

Just a few more Isle of May Puffins from this morning (why not). Interestingly they headed out to sea this afternoon probably to feed when the weather calmed.
