Malachite_Dragon posted:Why are you not allowed to touch the Quokkas? A pre-emptive "we've hosed up most every other species we've found, let's not do the same to this one"? Spoilered because this is supposed to be a feelgood thread: Because people are loving awful to animals. I've been to Rottnest and while the vast majority of people are just fine around them, there are always some idiots (also children) who feel a need to get extremely touchy, if not downright confrontational. I saw a tourist on a bicycle who was too loving stupid to pay attention to the path in front of him run over a quokka's tail, and another dead quokka just off the sidewalk near a visitor's center (presumably also got bicycled). There's also those rumors of teenagers on holidays who go to Rottnest, get drunk, and play "quokker" (imagine quokka + soccer...) People can be the worst thing about nature. Quokkas are so cute and innocent though and they're legit one of the chillest creatures on Earth.

Been there and yeah, it's true that they have zero fear of people. You get off the boat on Rottnest and you don't have to walk very far off the pier until you see at least one of them loping around. They'll come right up to you around the little tourist area and when you're out on paths through the island reserve. It's illegal to touch them though, but the quokkas don't give no shits about touching you. It's sad though because there are people who clearly mistreat them while they're on the island (the occasional group of drunk teenagers). There are also a surprising amount of people there who will convince you that humanity is just the absolute worst because they just flat-out won't pay attention to what they're doing and run over one with a bicycle.

Eodoin posted:I understand that some may find snakes adorable, but as someone who has had a bad experience with snakes. I personally have to scroll past quickly when I see them. As this is the cute/ uplifting/ come here to make yourself feel better thread. Can we just compromise and use spoilers. That way the people who like snakes can see them and those that have a hard time with them don't have to see. If we do this (not sure we should tbh), also apply it to spiders.

Jippa posted:Are they mountain rescue dogs? They're water rescue dogs. Their instinct to save people from drowning is so strong that it's extremely common (see the gif above) for them to try to "save" their humans even if they're just going for a quick dip in the water. They're great swimmers and incredibly sweet, and have a habit of thinking that they're waaay smaller than they really are (they're a very large dog breed and often think they're lapdogs).

It's wild that not only does Tom Hanks use a typewriter in TYOOL 2020, but that I also read this in his version of the Fred Rogers voice. (Or he just wanted to pawn the typewriter off on someone so he sent it to the kid, who knows)

While cute, I'm also about 100% positive there's a human arm behind that birb and a hand is holding its back and directing it.

BOOTY-ADE posted:Very true, plus the big breeds tend to be dopey teddy bears (especially ones like St Bernard) My parents had a Newfoundland while I was in college and I can extremely confirm. He was the sweetest, hugest dog who thought he was teenytiny and would always try to get up in your lap and cuddle.
