There’s been a huge flood in Thailand that completely covered your entire yard, and that’s bad. But it left behind a lot of mud for you to play in, and that’s good. But the mud is so thick that sometimes your legs get stuck, and that’s bad.

Cheetahs Always Win
They say that cheaters never prosper, but these cheetahs need to prosper, because they’re the most endangered big cat species on Earth. That’s why December 4 is International Cheetah Day, and why the Cincinnati Zoo shared these cute cheetah cubs playing to win.
