I had a wonderful moment today when I went into the break room and the Japanese news was just finishing.

Their closing report was on capybaras at a zoo going swimming with potatoes.

The greedy little bastard broke into a pastry shop and gorged himself until he was so fat he couldn't even move. Compare the tiny hole he chewed in the box with how big his belly is now. Alos, that box would have been full of neat rows of pastries - now look at it.

Dolphins and Whales playing! (the video is actually just pictures and is somehwhat uneventful, but still pretty neat)

I could have sworn there were a bunch of videos showing this, but now I can't find a single one with any decent footage.


Still, it s not just dolphins that whales like to balance on their nose, but sometimes kayakers too.

As adorable as wombats are, the adult males are definitely not to be messed with as they can get super aggressive.

There was an old Australian soap opera called A Country Practice and one family on the show had a pet wombat called Fatso. Only it was actually half a dozen different wombats over the course of the show because they kept having to replace them every few years.

I remember one of the actors telling how they once had to stop a scene and all the actors had to climb onto the couch when the wombat went crazy and started attacking them. It also tried to eat the couch out from under them.


Mind you, animal treatment in the 80s did sometimes leave a bit to be desired.

A golden retriever who just doesn't quite have the hang of catching food.

We had a labrador like that. I've owned dogs for forty years and not one ever had to be taught how to catch food. They're dogs, it's food, it's coming in at face height, chomp. Easy. Even if you don't get it the first time, the concept comes naturally, right?

But not this dog. It would bounce off his head, fall on the ground and then he'd eat it. Every time. We were initially worried he had vision problems. But he would chase balls okay. Wouldn't catch them of course, just sit there looking blankly at you with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth while you bounced tennis balls gently between his eyes. Then look all surprised when a ball suddenly materialised at his feet. Tennis ball? Where did that come from?

I took him to the vet to get him checked out and did the tossing food for him to get her opinion. The vet thought it was so funny she could barely stand. Her diagnosis: his eyes were fine, he was just really stupid.

ninja edit: animal buddies



Roos make the best dogs. They're pack (well, herd) animals, fast and tough and get on great with working dogs on farms. Because dogs will be friends with anything.

When I was a kid, my uncle had a big red that grew well over six feet tall but spent its entire life thinking it was a sheepdog. Of course, the drat thing never learned how to herd and had absolutely no instincts for it, so it would just hop madly around behind the sheep, getting in everyone's way :allears:

And yet my uncle, an utterly humourless bastard in every other way, never said boo about it and just him do his thing and cause chaos on the farm every day for probably 15 years.

We had a rottweiler who would grumble incessantly. It would freak out people who didn't know him because he was a giant 50kg beast and it did sound like growling.
