Tortoises hate doctors.

UV Plants
It was dark so this photo is grainy. However, I find it interesting how it shows that only the front part of the flower if coloured in UV. The back of the petal is boring, which probably makes it easier for bees.
Western Toad
Toad wondering if maybe the American dream isn’t really the idea that every person should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. What is the American dream is actually “you’re back in school, late for a test in a class you forgot to go to, you can’t find the room and you’re naked”?
Maybe we’re closer than we thought.
Roseate Spoonbill
This spoonbill thinks that his eyes are his best feature and is displeased at having to live in a bill-obsessed culture.
Vulturine Guineafowl
This guinea hen is upset that ditto candy doesn’t work on every pokemon in Pokemon Go.
Northwestern Garter Snake
Wikipedia says “Garter snake is a common name for the nearly harmless, small to medium-sized snakes belonging to the genus Thamnophis”
Nearly harmless.
Nearly.
Turns out they like to target seniors for investment fraud.
African Spurred Tortoise
In Portland, even the tortoises eat kale.
Indian Elephant
You may think this is a violation of the “no straws at the zoo” policy, but it snot.
Lungfish
Lungfish use their ability to breath air to engage in cicatrization for identification and beautification.
Mountain Goat
Mothers get exhausted too.
Mountain Goat
This goat is two hours old.
Being born is exhausting.
American Bullfrog
This frog did not force a bot to watch 10,000 hours of anything, because A.I. algorithms work a lot better on transcripts. Moreover, this frog did not force a bot to read the equivalent of 10,000 hours of transcripts because it’s even easier to just make something up and claim that you did the work and no one is going to ask for proof anyway.
Ground Hornbill
I don’t think it’s going to hatch.
African Spurred Tortoise
I swear, they get *so* dusty.
