Andrew Y. brings us a bird who just wants to snuggle.





What a pretty blue birdy. Another to add to my dream-house color palette.
Did you see the video of him yawning? So cute!
I have now!
And late Tocktober submission:
I’ve seen that precious little birdie before. Lady, stop moving your hand and scoop him up and cuddle him and smother him with kisses! 🩵
My dudes: I have stoated

Edit: omg the snow possum

mmmmm, one of those things is not like the other things…
but they are both cute!
I’ve stoated too.
Gaaaaa
I stoated last week.
I love the sounds beavers make!!
That video was awesome! THREE beaver stories in one! I didn’t know they have to care for babies for 2 years.
I want to be a beaver rehabber now. Those little squeaks about killt me.
I know! I wanted to comfort them💙
Ok
the smelly socks story is humorous and heartwarming.
so glad that they’re reunited!
Yes, I especially like what dad plans to do with the socks!
In case you don’t go all the way to the end…

Continental rabbit:
Gundis. Never knew about these!

Are they called gundis because they look like they were made by GUND?
😂I don’t think so! But they do!
Someone in comments was freaked out at first cos she thought that the ear holes were their EYES. I can’t even imagine that!
Omg! Kinda like furry frogs.
well,
now I can’t UNsee that.
Ack!
Beaver noises! Too cute!
Do only older penguins turn blue?
I’ve heard of blue hairs but blue wings?
I think that must be some kind of tagging system? It doesn’t mention it in the article, but upon looking up African Penguins, I can see they do Not have any blue on them. Or maybe it’s some kind of medicine? Or sun protectant for the elderly?
