Every white foofy cat I've known has been a snarling terror, so as much as I want to snorfle that belly I just know it's a trap and I'm about to be hurt real real bad.



I'd still do it though. God help me, I'd still snorfle that belly.

Nah, he's an absolute sweetheart, though scared of strangers. He and his brother both enjoy tummy rubs, which is just wonderful because I've never had cats before who did.

That looks like one of my parents' cats, Amy. She's afraid of strangers, too.




I love her toe fluff, but she's really a diva and doesn't like to be snuggled.

Australian toilet spiders are what we call daddy long-legs, they're so fragile and pathetic and slow and have a body about the size of a speck of dust, it's impossible to be afraid of them.

Good excuse to repost this.

Cattail Sapporo takes red panda videos at the Maruyama Zoo in Japan almost every day. But sometimes he takes video of squirrels! These squirrels have much bigger ear tufts than the ones I see in the US.

WTF is this guy some kind of wood elf, I've never seen a squirrel go up and smell a humans hand like that before and at one point there was a giant crow or raven just chilling less then 2 feet from him and the squirrel. They seemed so docile.

I think they're in the google translated "primeval forest" area of the zoo, so they may be used to visitors.

When I was a kid I had an Eastern Worm Snake as a pet. I made a terrarium for it and he would either burrow down into the soil or find a nice tight space in the old logs and bark I had in there. His name was Squirmy and I would feed him grubs and worms :3:
If you want to try to find one yourself they come out after rainfall. And yes, they don't get any bigger than this!

Oh it's SO CUTE! Its tiny tiny lil tongue! Aww I wish we had those here (tasmania). We do, however, have a quite adorable little legless skink that I cannot find on wikipedia. I've found them in my parents yard a few times. It definitely had vestigal legs. I guess it ... could have just been a batch of quite deformed skinks. Anyway I guess it's sort of on its way to becoming an adorable tiny snake? Probably snake people will tell me how terribly wrong I am. They're still cute, but skinks aren't happy about being handled at all and detach their tails when spooked, so I never try to pick them up.

They aren't in any pain and they're not mentally impaired, they just have zero coordination. Basically turns them into lanky ferrets.

Camels run exactly like this when they're playing. They're really bloody dangerous when they're in a good mood because there are just legs, knees and feet flying everywhere.

there are a ton of different 'legless' lizards with stupid tiny vestigial limbs :kimchi:
considering you're in Tasmania, the most likely candidate is some kind of Pygopid, which apparently are technically geckos?
not sure which species this lil guy is but this is the sort of ridiculous creature we are talking about
