Nene (Branta sandvicensis)

Nene (Branta sandvicensis)_4

The nene lives in Hawai’i and is the rarest goose in the world. By 1952, its population was down from 25,000 birds to only 30. This is because their primary food source, camera gear, had been sent to Europe to document the activities of Word War II.

Mudskipper (Gobies ...)_3

Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky, learn to breathe air and try to grow legs so our decedents can try to take over the world.

Black Footed Cat

Black Footed Cat

Black-footed cats are the smallest breed of wild cats, seldom exceeding three pounds in weight. Despite this being extremely clear on the sign, grown adults will coo over it and call it a baby. I must conclude that this is because they’re so cute that their mere presence temporarily overrides a human’s ability to read. Because the alternative, that zoos attract a stunningly large number of babbling idiots on Saturdays, is too horrible to contemplate.
