And finally: Backyard Bears
A lady and her pup let another family play through, in this video found by Dana D.
This one cracked me up
omg the drama
Those bears have rendered me speechless.
Please tell me there’s a yellow Big Bird fish to befriend the Snuffleupagus fish…
I LOLed at this:
“Clearly, all of the morphological features that we find endearing are of some value to the animal,” Love, who was not involved in the research, said in email.
“Or, and here is another hypothesis, Gaia created this fish after having one too many of those rum drinks that come with those little umbrellas.“
I did too!
Snuffy fish is totally adorbs.
The Snuffleupagus fish is beyond adorbs. Sometimes nature astounds me with the variety of species and how they’re built to thrive in certain environments. Love that bridge for the monkeys in Malaysia, glad that everyone is co-existing. Oh my goodness, the bear video! I cracked up at the beginning when she grabs the dog and runs inside. I wouldn’t have gotten any work done either, just watch Bear TV all day long. Makes my possum situation minor in comparison. But good news on the possum front – no swimming possums to rescue today! Whoot Whoot!!!
Why are baby hippos so darn cute?
Also why do they love the taste of human flesh?
The langur bridge is similar to what the Sloth Conservancy does in Costa Rica–they’re constantly re-routing sloths, monkeys, and other tree dwelling critters over busy roads with bridges. It’s brilliant and so much more effective than most other methods.
