Yes, stupid headlines are back. There are so damn many, I have to share…

Oh FFS. Are we such delicate creatures that we can’t stand the full force of carbonated bubbles now? I fear for humanity, I really do.

I’m going to continue to share photos from this marvelous book until you get tired of them and ask me to stop.

Oncilla.

Hibernating arctic ground squirrels.

Wish I could send our red squirrel from Hell to the arctic circle for a long winter’s nap.

Gee’s Golden Langur.

Tell me you don’t see the humanity in that portrait. I dare you.

Giant Anteater and pup.

Love the giant anteater! I could totally see one of those curled up on the couch beside me.

Himalayan Griffon.

You have to love a bird who can rock a feather boa. It’s not an easy look to pull off.

Choctawhatchee Beach Mouse.

Hang in there little mouse. We’ve all been there.

Common Spider Crab.

Mother Nature is marvelous.

Coquerel’s Sifaka.

No doubt about it.
