“Lost” species found, elephant lullaby, sleeping dogs, hiker saves chicken, and golf cheat.

Pretty sure this is against the rules, Andrew Y.
If I sang to elephants they are more likely to attack me than to fall asleep. π
Happy elephant shrews are surviving. Watching the elephant lullaby videos is definitely chopping onions. Do not miss the second one. I came close to sobbing. We should have a chopping onions rating system – from one to four chopped onions. The second elephant video is four chopped onions.
π You crack me up Dubra and I like the suggestion. We can use it almost as a warning too– I’m at work and sobbing at my desk while watching elephant videos may not be good for my career.
LOL yes, it might cause people to tiptoe around your desk

Doesn’t the lullaby sound like “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”? I wonder what the Thai lyrics are to the song.
Four onion-chopping knives – but what are the little rectangles? I am a moron when it comes to emojis. Are these even emojis? I’m waving a virtual cane.
They are emojis, but the little rectangles don’t appear for me (Mac, Firefox). All I see are onions and knives. I guess no system is perfect.
Huh. Now the rectangles have turned into onions. So, great.
I changed a setting that was blocking some emoji groups from being included. Thanks for letting me know that it helped.
Opening my email to that little critter (who looks like he is making an announcement) was the best way to start the day!
The elephant shrew was not lost, just misplaced as my mother used to say. Glad to hear it’s making a comeback. And love that rooster story, how he came to be out there is a back story I’d really need to hear. Oh, the tales he could tell if he could talk.
Scrolling through sleeping dogs…hey, that’s my couch! (I first saw the striped pillow and then the paisley one off to the side, then looked closer at the couch itself.)
Mine didn’t come with sleeping dogs, though. π
I would consider watching golf if it involved puppies. Must save other linkies for later.
