Asian Small Clawed Otter


Otter thinking about how life is nothing but the memory of a stream of moments, the more of which you collect, the fewer there are yet to come.


Also, about fish.

Western Pond Turtle


This turtle stayed up all night worrying that insomnia and anxiety were going to make it hard to work today.

Meerkat_2


What art thou, Faustus, but a man condemn’d to die?

Thy fatal time doth draw to final end;

Despair doth drive distrust into my thoughts:

Confound these passions with a quiet sleep:

Tush, Christ did call the thief upon the Cross;

Then rest thee, Faustus, quiet in conceit.

Goals are well and good, but goals should also be realistic.

As with many other species, criticism of flamingo parenting begins quite early.

Gibbon checking Twitter and realizing that the world will end with neither a bang or a whimper but a “Really?”.

Giant Anteater_2


Anteater walks into a bar.


Bartender keeps his damn mouth shut because it’s rude to comment on aspects of a another’s appearance that they neither chose nor are able to change.

Perhaps you had a bit too much to drink last night.


Or perhaps I decided to play with the colour-shifting in my image editor.


Who knows?

This macaw would like to point out that the last time the Earth’s temperature changed by two degrees Celsius, all the dinosaurs turned into birds.


Do you really want to see what they’ll do next?

Golden Mantella_1


This frog is ticked off that he wasn’t consulted on the directorial choices of the latest movie in his favorite series. How dare they make make creative character choices while working within variants of the same mythic narrative structure as all of the other movies, especially after how lambasted they were for the previous film being so duplicative of others in the series? And the new aliens just piss him off. It’s a completely different galaxy for crying out loud. Everyone knows that galaxies are populated by exactly 153 alien races. Mostly, though, he is upset that $23 (including a medium size drink) doesn’t give him the right to dictate the direction of a billion dollar franchise.


He’s going to see the movie two more times, just to verify that he’s well and truly angry, and then it’s off to Reddit!
