Sometimes you can’t fit all the guenon in the guenon suit and a little bit blips out.

Leopard
This leopard has exhaustive knowledge of essential oils and is certain that one of them will resolve your problem.
Entirely coincidentally, this leopard also sells essential oils.
Ocelot
Your genetics determine being unable to curl your tongue and being an ocelot.
Black Headed Spider Monkey
Spider monkey wondering why we have to link words like “perfume” and “cologne” to gender instead of using the much more appropriate word “ac-scent”.
Florida Cottonmouth
This snake has been studying Solipsism and was thinking about the “brain in a jar” scenario. However, now she can’t stop wondering who made the jar.
Masai Giraffe
After I took this photo, he started lecturing me about low-carb, grain-free, ketogenic diets, and then offered me a free blade of grass – just so I could see what it was like.
Rhea
While I would prefer that wild animals not have to live in captivity, I support zoos because, first there’s not a lot of wild left and second, this bird would not survive in the wild.
You can make an argument that this bird shouldn’t survive and that evolution punishes accident-prone individuals in the same way it does genetics that don’t fit the environment. However, you can also make an argument that humans are altering the environment more quickly that evolutionary processes can adapt and that without a compensating mechanism, we will lose the majority of our biodiversity.
Both arguments are true. Only one applies to our lives and the lives of those we care about.
Palawan Peacock Pheasant
Pheasant puzzling over the fact that Emerald, Agate, Amber, Ruby, Crystal, and Beryl are all considered acceptable girls’ names, but name one kid “Spodumene” and you never hear the end of it.
Gulfodulcean Frog
This frog is already tired of pumpkin spice and wishes that people would just make their coffee the traditional way – grinding the coffee cherries into a paste, combining it with animal fat, rolling them into balls, and then drying them for easy transport.
Turtle Wall
The wall is porous and low, doing a poor job of separating the turtles on one side from those on the other. However, it does meet its purpose of allowing the turtles who built the wall to feel they are better than the identical turtles on the other side.
