The animated spider is somehow not as cute as the real one. I find the animated one to be a little creepy.

The Australian northern quoll, which this article describes as "an exceptionally vicious animal" and "famously bitey."   |

Considering how this thread started, I guess cats and rabbits can find common ground. Cabbits! Tiktok link doesn't work anymore but it was about cats and rabbits.

I live not far from this place, where the term "cabbit" has more sinister implications: Dulce is a small town, yet it looms large in the minds of conspiracy theorists worldwide, who believe it’s the home of a secret underground government base — Earth’s primary site for alien-human collaboration. ... something turned up around Dulce that — to many people — seemed to add a bit of credence to the stories of the Dulce Base and the base’s genetic tampering: a cabbit....according to Hartwell, somehow, in 1977, a man named Val Chapman, walking in the desert near Dulce, captured what he insisted was a cabbit. Its front end looked like the front half of a normal cat, but its back half lacked a tail and featured long legs almost identical to those of a jackrabbit. Chapman took the cabbit on tour, featuring it prominently in a Los Angeles exhibit, on TV, and in supermarket tabloids. “It is believed to have escaped from Dulce’s laboratory years ago,” wrote Theresa Morgan in a February 2004 New Mexico Magazine article. “Rumor has it that heavily armed men in black fatigues, flying unmarked black helicopters, were responsible for hunting down the unnatural cabbit creation.”The Cabbit of Dulce |

Meanwhile, I’m just thinking “oh, like Ryo-Ohki”.

These need to be posted for easy access, in case anyone needs a pick-me-up

I absolutely adore Mark Rober's Squirrel obstacle course videos. I've watched them all several times. Indeed, they have high entertainment value.

I took this video yesterday of Beanie Baby (one of our resident raccoons, the child of one my wife named Bean, hence the name) eating some banana.

I very much suspect that this first image is AI-generated. |

I am in favor of using AI to generate adorable animal photos.

It is a good list but the lack of quokkas is concerning.

You know it's got to be good if a sourpuss like me is in the thread.

Did we discuss my rabbit adoption plan? I'm planning to foster in May, after a couple work trips. And since I am a proud supporter of WTTW, I will gladly watch this online! Thanks for the link! (\_/) (-_-) ( )* |

This is Imani, who is locally famous here in Chicago. Piping plovers come through the area very rarely and his mother and father, Monty and Rose, were minor celebrities who would nest on a nearby beach every year for several years in a row. Sadly Monty died last year, but Imani is returning and thriving. He is the cutest little birb.

I'm not a subscriber anymore, but is the story from Arizona where someone thought these were baby kittens, and they were later identified as grey foxes?
The shelter thought they were coyote pups. But the wildlife rescue identified them as foxes.
Edited: Never mind, the link address says that it is! Yes, this happened about a month ago. It was on all the local news.

Related, we have both kit foxes and gray foxes living on the university campuses in the metro area. I've seen them lurking around the buildings in the evenings.
During COVID 2020 when the university was mostly abandoned, I was still working on campus. There were 2 or 3 of them that snuck into the student Union and were climbing around the rafters. Eventually a wildlife team had to come in and try to remove them. There were several photos and videos taken by students.
They are certainly more welcome than the coyotes that occasionally turn up. Good lord, the coyotes have the most annoying unearthly howl.
