Ricky and Bibi’s Mom brings us a crazy cat with its own language. BAGAGWA!



It’s hard to wrap my head around the idea of an antelope that’s the size of a Chihuahua…
I’ve seen pudu in the zoo, and they’re not much bigger.
What noise do they make?
Is it a miniature squeaking version of what sounds full sized deer make?
Yay! I voted for Tiki! π
I love an animal that looks how I feel.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Also, note that half the animals have hovertext about tiger quolls. I don’t know if it’s a gag or an AI with a fixation.
Love the cutest rescue dog competition. They’re all winners.
Barely started looking at the unusual animals and I WANT THEM ALL.
The unusual animals are so cool! There were some Iβve never seen or heard about.
So basically even rich dogs get better treatment and better lounges than me at airports.
He looks like a spoonbill cosplaying as a flamingo.
Nailed it.
We saw them in another post recently (I think it was bird photos); it was the first I had seen one and I had to look them up to find out what it was. This picture looks a little awkward but they are so pretty in pink.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Even Roger Corman couldn’t sell this one.
What the heck is that?!?!?! It kinda looks like a bat head in a swing…
(I admit I did not get through the whole list. I assume it is not related to a tiger quoll. Speaking of which…why is it called a tiger quoll when it has polka dots, not stripes?)
Maybe it’s β¦ Bagagwa!

“Don’t summon Bagagwa” is my go-to line, now that I’ve met Merv.
That was the subject line I used when I sent my submeeshion to Mike! I intend to use it as often as possible.
Bunny Harvestman. An arachnid With The Head Of A Black Dog.
Repeat: A SPIDER WITH A DOG HEAD!!!
It does look AI, doesn’t it?
No. Just no.
(Not a true spider, has no venom or silk and eats solid food. Lives in Ecuador. The “ears” are little nubs on its body. Still do not want to meet one.)
So it’s essentially a daddy long legs with a halloween costume.
Yes
There are an awful lot of cute nopes in the list.
Merv and his/her? family made my sides ache from laughing. What a riot!
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Most of the long-form videos are re-compilations of shorter bits from Tik-Tok, but somehow they still tickle me each time I watch them. Goodness knows I’ve needed a pick-me-up lately.
Mervyn Cumberland Weems (sometimes called Meef) is reported by her hoomins to be female. As long as she doesn’t summon Bagagwa, she can identify anyway she likes so far as I’m concerned.
What I want to know is how her hoomins roped Charals into the act. π
