Sea Star
I’m pretty sure this is actually a shrimp cosplaying as a sea star.
Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker
Lumpsucker realizing, to his shock, that Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer” could be about a horde of young Sidhe predators who invade in the summertime, abducting all the pretty humans to be slaves in the underworld, leaving small towns desolate and longing for what they have lost, just as the glamour fades and, with it, all specific memory.
Moon Jelly
They told me that feeding kids was easy. They told me that everyone loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Turns out they were wrong.
Spotted Lagoon Jelly
This jelly believes that everything that happens, for good or ill, for pain or for joy, absolutely everything … happens for a reason: ocean currents.
Dwarf Cuttlefish
This cuttlefish thinks that all things being equal would make his math homework a whole lot easier.
CarolinA Parakeet
The Carolina parakeet was once prevalent in the eastern United States. Due to hunting, and the fact that their behavior included flocking around injured birds, it has been extinct since 1920 and can only be seen via specimens like this, in museums.
Butterfly
This butterfly knows whether there will be six more weeks of winter, but as it won’t be alive six weeks from now, isn’t telling anyone.
Flower
I still don’t understand why my UV camera shifts everything into a violet-red-orange spectrum except yellow flowers, which stay yellow.
Harris Hawk
This is just your reminder that bird wings are complex structures and that they don’t just flap up and down.
Owl
This owl knows you’ve broken that new year’s resolution and, as you did the same for three years running, thinks that maybe you should simply accept yourself, flaws and all — but won’t say anything, because that would be rude.
Kangaroo
Kangaroo at cat practice.
Abdims Stork
Stork thinking about Alice in Wonderland and realizing that, at no point, did the dormouse actually say “feed your head”.
Amur Leopard
Mama cats come with built-in kitten toys.
Southern Leopard Tortoise
Leopards will haul their prey up tall trees, allowing them to eat the carcass in peace, away from other predators.
Leopard tortoises do not do this.
Hippo
Every place the light touches is his kingdom, which is politically problematic as water attenuates electromagnetic signals differently depending on light frequency and water quality.
Eastern Yellow Backed Duiker
To avoid annoying their friends, most duikers won’t share, but many will lik this post.
Panda
Panda eating the rare grapefruit bamboo.
Grizzly Bear
This bear is in love with Albert Mooney, but knows he doesn’t stand a chance because there’s another and she is both handsome and pretty.
Amur Leopard
This leopard cub is quite young and inexperienced and still believes that an Amazon.com two day delivery will arrive in two days.
