Move over, World Cup stars, Hudson is ready for kickoff! ⚽ Our male muskox is showing off some seriously powerful soccer skills as he headbutts and chases a massive soccer ball around. Enrichment plays an important role in animal care by encouraging natural behaviors. pic.twitter.com/ZOLNKIclD8

I don’t think I’ve seen a muskox scamper before. What a creature!
A duck in the street and swans in the backyard, these links are for the birds LOL!
Met Hudson yesterday. Hope they get him another ball soon! He looked so very sad.
Good on Deadmau5 for his generous donation and his plan to get homes for all the rescues. River and Turtle will surely find homes soon, as they’re unbearably cute.
Love Merlin so much. I wanted to see more of his little shoes.
