Fossa suspecting that Michael Franti was wrong and that most revolutions actually come with a great many warnings and that, in truth, most people in power simply ignore them.

Llama
In the United States, farmers have started spraying entire fields of llamas to reduce the spotting.
Ivory Billed Woodpecker
This pair of ivory billed woodpeckers were reviewing comments claiming violent behavior is simply biological and impossible to change. The woodpeckers know that’s wrong, but are sympathetic as there are many feelings involved in going extinct.
West African Dwarf Crocodile
This crocodile hasn’t learned much in its short life, but has three observations worth sharing:
- People tell you who they are with actions, not words
- People can change quite significantly over the course of their life
- People cannot force change in others, just themselves
Toco Toucan
I have been accused of having a fondness for animal tongue photos.
In my defense, animal tongue photos are really neat.
Stegosaurus
This stegosaurus is upset with Slack for changing their logo with minimal warning.
Fawn Breasted Bowerbird
Yes, it’s just a simplified bower, made by a bowerbird. Not very impressive to look at … until you realize that we have no idea which bird behavior is new and which have continued since the age of the dinosaurs.
Did dinosaurs make bowers? We don’t know, but would you want to live in a world where they didn’t?
Gelada
The way is up along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Blown off this mountain with the wind
Koala
This self-referential koala loves this post.
Indian Rhino
This rhino is well aware of the evidence. He knows about the studies. He knows about the damage it would cause to both the ecosystem. He knows it’s unnecessary. He knows that it’ll reduce work opportunities. He knows it’ll cost so much his children may starve to death.
But you see, if they don’t build the wall, he’ll have to admit that he was wrong, and that’s just unacceptable.
Deer
The ancients could use such structures to count all the way up to 624 with as few as 16 deer.
Panda
Panda designing a flute.
White Rhino
Nothing wrong with rhino milk. Full of goodness, full of vitamins, full of keratin jelly.
Lasts longer than any other milk, rhino milk.
Cheetah
For the cheetah shows, they use two leashes with two collars, held by two people. I guess if a cheetah escapes, it’s a bit tricky to catch.
Red Billed Leiothrix
This leiothrix esteems today’s English to be codswallop, unintelligible to our longfathers.
Holonyms and their associated meronyms, to the nethermost level, a panoply of prodigious constellation, are the crinkum-crankum of the Queen’s tongue, not fandangles for nithings and dandiprats besotted by linguistic errantry.
Today, disconfustication, for elucidation, has hithered our language toward palaverous flummery.
To rectify this situation, hereupon we ought cease mollycoddling those lollygagging lurdans, abjure modernity, and espouse lexical involution.
Indian Rhino
The Indian rhinoceros has a small trunk-like lip that is used to dig in the ground for food and to point at people handing out apples.
Antelope
Where’s Waldo is harder to play when your species lacks colour vision.
Hummingbird
Hummingbird who believes in climate change, but prefers to enjoy the warm winter, leaving the whole “dealing with widespread death and destruction of all we hold dear” to the next generation.
Reindeer
Watching the beginning of this year’s Reindeer Games.
He hopes his district wins.
Gorilla
Gorilla thinking about the fact that people can “calm down” and people can “clam up”, suspecting that someone made a typo and now we’re all stuck with it.
