Can’t watch videos until later but just the still shot of that snuggle-puppy has give me palpitations.
Flower mantises are so neat. And I used to love Fashion Bug.
Does all that bouncing hurt his knees? Do cockatoos have knees?
All birds have knees, they just aren’t quite where you might think.

I love the paddle-tailed fur potatoes. They’re incredibly charming little critters. I’ve noticed an abundance of beavers recently. It’s funny how animals just kinda emerge into the public consciousness at different times. For a while it was opossums. Now apparently the internet public have beaver fever. Bever.
Neat!
Now I’m thinking of the scene on Big Bang Theory where Sheldon is wearing shorts and Penny says “Nice knees!”
I couldn’t believe the preying mantis, had to check that it wasn’t April 1 then googled it. Gosh darn it is real! Love all the rescuers helping out all the little ones. That cockatoo is too funny.
Have to save the links for later, but I had to watch the cockatoo. I love them so much and long for a crest of my own.
My day got better just by seeing that adorbs little puppy snuggled up on mom.
Oh wow! Flower Mantis! Good inspiration for a piece jewelry. And great outcome for mama dog and puppies.
