lol that lion could go through that wall like it was made out of cardboard if it wanted to. :stare:

Those are concrete walls. The windows on the other hand.

Normally I'm not afraid of lions in the least. This video is the first time I've felt unnerved by a lion. They're almost always cowardly as hell. But if that happened to me, where one was being aggressive like that outside my house, I'd be going somewhere it can't actively see me. I'd just close the door and/or the curtains and just say "I'm not dealing with that today." Though the video said they were "honeymooners" in camp, so they're likely going to be there for a while. Mating lions tend to just stay in one place and mate over and over for days.

Now if that were an elephant being aggressive outside my house, I'd be making GBS threads myself uncontrollably and trying to find a way to stay safe.

Oh my god that is *so* much like my old labrador when she got her Christmas presents - the gentle way he took the present, the tail-tip whipping while he sat down back in his bed to gently unwrap it, even the way he sat up to show off the toy once it was open that I actually shouted "What you got?" at the screen like Abby was still here. :unsmith:

It's an important day for an important swine.


We went to the pet store and she got to pick out her own treat as a reward for wearing the hat.


Also, there is cake because of course there's cake.


Yesterday she got to go on our local heeler group's monthly hike and play with her friends then last week she got to help me help someone round up sheep so it's a good time to be a Scout.

Even though, like all Labradors, she would eat literal poo poo, she was really weirdly methodical and careful in taking wrapping paper off stuff - tear a strip, gently lay it to one side, then go back. Mind you part of that was because she'd taught herself to "help" with tidying up by picking up and bringing to me any rubbish on the floor, which she normally got a treat for, and it took her all of six seconds to realise that if she tore a bit of paper into 20 bits then there was at least the *potential* of 20 treats.

Funnily enough my parents' old Jack Russel was similar but just for destruction - whenever you gave her a new toy, she'd (after swiftly dispatching any squeaker in it) take it to her bed and carefully shred it, biting off the tiniest bits she could manage and stacking them up in one corner. Once it was destroyed to her satisfaction she'd roll around in the bits and then just walk off - if she could have dusted her hands I'm sure she would have.

The one thing she'd try her hardest never to destroy was balloons:



She worked out if she held them by the knot like that she could keep them "alive" for ages, running around like that for hours before normally bursting them when trying to get them through the cat flap or under the table to her lair.

“The pygmy marmoset, genus Cebuella, is a small genus of New World monkey native to rainforests of the western Amazon Basin in South America. It is notable for being the smallest monkey and one of the smallest primates in the world, at just over 100 grams (3.5 oz). It is generally found in evergreen and river-edge forests and is a gum-feeding specialist, or a gummivore.”

Well actually it was a 70s carpet that lasted until the early 90s at my parents house. In an era before Scotchguard and cheap cleaners, if you had kids and pets you wanted a carpet that was busy as *gently caress*.

Remember to check for AZA accreditation when it comes to big cat facilities, as a lot all of these cub petting schemes often always involve private owners with no interest in overall conservation.

:colbert:

Roadside zoos in the states will often pump that they’re “accredited” but get cagey when asked by whom, because they’re referring to their (legally required to keep literally any animal) USDA compliance. AZA accreditation is hard to get, and hard to maintain. Any institution that goes to the trouble (the only places you should be going) is going to display it proudly.

They don't really exist in Australia. I never realised just how big they were until I saw one in Europe. They're way more awesome than regular bees. Just fuzzy little things chilling by the flowers.
