Gorillas don’t have issues with long international flights either.

Knob Tailed Gecko
Gecko suffering from the Capgras delusion regarding his plants.
Dama Gazelle
Being hot weather creatures, on cool days, the dama gazelle will appear to deflate.
Prairie Dog performing Julius Caesar
“Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.”
Cuviers Dwarf Caiman
Dwarf caimans get a +1 bonus to bite against orc caimans and goblin caimans.
Chestnut Breasted Malcoha_21
Malcoha pondering the important questions in life:
How did I get here?
How do I work this?
Where is that large automobile?
What is that beautiful house?
Where does that highway go to?
Am I right?
Am I wrong?
My God! What have I done?
Black Headed Gull
Wikipedia, under the “Uses” section of the Black Headed Gull entry states “The eggs of the black-headed gull are considered a delicacy by some in the UK and are eaten hard boiled” but I don’t think a species has to be useful to have value.
Dragonfly
This dragonfly suggests that, if you are displeased with the state of the world, you should burn it all down and start over. However, dragonflies are positioned to benefit greatly from global warming, so this dragonfly may not be a neutral party.
Why are you considering advice from a dragonfly anyway? They’re brains are extremely small.
Anyway, burying things deep into the earth or drowning them in the ocean is a more responsible use of carbon.
Desert Hairy Scorpion
Scorpions are chronically upset because everyone they play with picks rock, not paper.
Sugar Glider
Though most of us eat them quickly, the truly patient can be greatly rewarded for allowing their apples to hatch.
Screech Owl
Owl being arrested for the 8th time so far this year, knowing there’s no case against him but also that there’s nothing he can do about it, and is biding his time until it’s someone else’s turn to be hassled.
Orinoco Crocodile
Wonder if Enya would have sung “Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore” if she knew who lived there.
Galapagos Tortoise
Tortoise pondering whether it really counts as “wanting to save the world” when what you really want to do is utterly destroy very specific pieces of it.
Bornean Bearded Hog
I was pretty excited to see these hogs in Texas as I’d never seen this species before.
of course, a few months later I just happened to stumble across the same species in the London Zoo.
Black Spotted Newt
In 1880, the Black Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus meridionalis) was scientifically described by Edward Cope (Homo sapiens) who spent several minutes trying to clean them before he realized they were a new species.
Bird
Bird paralyzed with confusion over whether or not one can have “a smithereen”.
Muellers Gibbon
Sometimes you capture a great moment with the wrong lens.
Sometimes it works out anyway.
Rattlesnake
This snake is upset.
This snake did not put in all those years* snake school**, rising*** through the snake ranks at work, only to be stymied days before he was to get supreme power by someone who dared**** to remember***** things.
This snake feels he is owed supreme power. He needs supreme power. Without supreme power how will he ever be able to alter the rights of mice?

* Four years at snake prep school, four years at regular snake school, and three years at fancy-ass super snake school for rich snakes
** Well, they call it snake school, but there seems to be a lot more snake partying than snake studying. Just an observation from looking at calendars and such.
*** Really, for rich snakes from fancy-ass snake schools, “rising” is really just about not screwing up too publicly so you can get the next job handed to you.
**** The nerve of some people.
***** Anecdotal evidence would suggest that this snake might not remember things as well as other snakes. In the interest of fairness, I will not blame the snake for this as the snake might not remember that the snake has a memory problem.
Harnessed Bushbuck Antelope
Smells tasty.
Black Spider Monkey
During times like these, it can be difficult to distinguish mothering from smothering.
