Hopefully it's not one of those crazy fake ones. Looks like it got stuck in a pond or estuary or something

I assume they need to be trimmed like the sheep to stay healthy

Wonder how many beaver die per year trapped under their own felled trees.

It's got to be a considerable number I'd think. Given their frequency of dangerously cutting down trees.

Seems like it's a fairly uncommon but it does happen since tree-felling is inherently dangerous work. However studies would indicate that rather than dangerously cutting down trees, beavers instinctively try to safely cut down trees in a manner that they can predict the direction of the fall, ideally towards water. When a beaver is killed by a tree it's generally because something has gone wrong.

Looks like some kind of moss or mold mat? That looks like a young hawksbill / salt-water turtle?

Thanks folks. I went looking for more, but it seems like it's debated whether it's good for them or bad for them, so I'm just going to leave that one alone :(

I had no idea that cats take such a big mouthful of kibble! I had a dog who would pick up like, three pieces at a time and eat them one by one.

I was surprised too - I've seen cats go ham on wet food, but I thought they were always a lot more restrained on the dry stuff.

This one eats like that; good odds, too, that he'll just hurl up a perfectly-formed kibble log within three minutes.

Obviously tires him out:

You can't fool me. Every 18 months the internet suddenly "remembers" that a brand new quirky "animal" that no-one has ever heard of until it's suddenly selling 8 million enamel pins on AliExpress.

12 years ago noone knew what a "pangolin" was and now I'm meant to accept we had these adorable things the whole time?

There's like 30 pangolins left total they're very endangered

Giant squirrels are real and also very endangered

I just found out several kinds of mammals are fluorescent in the right lighting and if you have the right filters / eyes

Platypus are neon green
There's a nocturnal flying squirrel near me that's neon pink

If your the wrong kind of colorblind (so like a deer) then tigers are basically the same color as the goddamn predator

Basically the earth is an insane planet and nobody realized
