The angels have the blog.

reblog this post with a cool animal species lets make a wholesome thread

ok ill give a headstart:

i really like leopard seals 

axolotls are p rad

I LOVE THOSE

potoos look like muppets and i ove tem

here’s a quokka it’s like someone decided to splice together a wallaby and a teddy bear they literally always look like a benevolent cartoon

i don’t think you can get more wholesome than that adorable lil seed-eating smiley face. they’re not even like dolphins, cute on the outside and evil on the inside. they’re herbivores about the size of a cat. there is nothing wrong with them. 

The Springhaas, or “irl pikachu” as it is sometimes known, is basically a rat shaped like a bunny abruptly caught in the middle of trying to evolve into a kangaroo. This is why they tend to look startled.

This is a dik dik. They are tiny antelopes from southern and eastern Africa–seriously so smol. With teeny hooves and teeny horns and big soulful eyes. And the name is fun to say. It comes from the alarm call that the females make. They live together in monogamous pairs. 

Long Eared Jerboa

The adorable mash-up of a hamster, bunny, and kangaroo. Whiskers with no end, ears that put a fennec to shame, and adorability beyond measure!

bringing this back on your dashes

a sichuan takin bull and his daughter

often the color of donald trump’s hair and looking like a cross between a bison and a guinea pig, the takin is actually a bloody big goat-antelope. they have splendid noses, a natural smile, and share their habitat with pandas. which should be good enough for anyone.

This is an okapi. They are related to giraffe, can lick their own eyeballs and kind of always look like you just asked them for a ride to the airport but look at those ears and the little striped legs ~(*^*)~

Chambered nautilus! A living fossil! I also love axolotl though.

A cinnamon bear! Actually a member of the black bear family, they’re one of the more calm species out there. We also have matching hair <3 Enjoy this one with a heart on its chest!

Red pandas!

I love echidnas

ESPECIALLY BABY ECHIDNAS

Fennec foxes!!

I love all of these!

Capybaras! They’re the largest cavy species,(cavies are animals like guinea pigs) They’re BASICALLY a giant golden retriever in the skin of  guinea pig.

MANATEES

They’re just big lumps that float around the sea. They’re non-aggressive, non-territorial herbivores that spend most of their time sleeping or eating, or they might be socializing with other manatees or investigating interesting objects.

Best of all, as of this year they are no longer endangered!!

Maine coons!! So soft and friendly!!!

Look at these babies!!!

Majestic af!!! 

MANED WOLF. Basically what a fox would look like if it was a supermodel.

Favourite post.

@geekwiththeglasses

A freshwater sawfish (i.e. my favorite animal when I was about 12.  Learning about them taught me the word “estuary”)  They’re mostly really large but look at this baby one

Stoats! They are adorable little weasels!

this is the hog nosed bat, they fit perfectly in your hand

Meerkats always look like they’re judging you.

They’re pretty chill too

This is a baby Tapir! They’re like pigs with weird noses

I ONLY JUST LEARNED ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MUSHROOM????? WHICH ERUPTS FROM AN EGG BEFORE UNCURLING HELLISH ARMS, EXPOSING ITS STICKY MASS OF SPORES TO BE SPREAD BY FLIES ATTRACTED BY THE SCENT OF ROTTING FLESH???

Admittedly, I am easily won over by all organisms that attract flies with the scent of rotting flesh. But the octopus stinkhorn (Clathrus archeri) also has tentacles, a freaky egg stage, and blackish goop, so it’s my favorite now.

of course it’s native to australia. of. course.

these used to grow in my backyard when i was a kid and my sister and i genuinely thought they came from space

SO COOL

Aliens have been among us all along. They just happened to land in Australia first.

The weird, complicated, sexist history of pockets

Follow @this-is-life-actually

I don’t want to be decorative, I want to be functional. Give me some damn pockets.

Mice in Flowers

I like rainy days so here’s a compilation of rainy days. Here are similar compilations featured on@sixpenceee you may enjoy:

Goes well with some deep breaths, and relaxing of the shoulders.

some guy: instinct just memes around uselessly, i hardly see any of their gyms

me: holds ur face gently listen to me you little shit

Kangaroo

jkr doesnt understand anything about america if she thinks the northern and southern states will share the same wizarding school lollll. like the south would have formed its own school anyways after, if not before or during the civil war?

hell east coast and west coast magic has got to be different (european settlers on the east, mexican/hispanic in the whole new mexico, arizona, cali area). 

not to mention historically black wizarding schools would have absolutely been a thing bc african magic survived thru slavery hello??? not to mention under slavery and jim crow laws i highly doubt black children would have been allowed to study with white students. you could even make the assumption that white slavers forbade them for using their magic at all (african magic = dark magic and all that Fun Racism)

underdeveloped and struggling to thrive native american reservation schools of magic in the dakotas? 

texas has to have its own school on its own school. like its just a given fact. TEXAS WIZARDING SCHOOL QUDDITCH (like texas high school football #texasforever)

and obviously you have the elitist new england schools which everyone assumes is the pinnacle of american magic education lol

#also the texas school would be really aggressive about teaching the unforgivable curses #the ministry works at the pentagon because some founding father decided it couldn’t go /unregulated/ #unfortunately there is a real history of assimilation and irradiation of tribal and ancestral magic #organic bezoars #gmo-free wolfsbane #also there’s a cult who actively fund and protect anti-indigenous schools #they attack the students for not being american enough #often physically #their purist white robes and actions inspired racist muggles (via @dustafterreign)

rb and put in the tags what the first three anime you watched were! i’m curious

seeing a lot of pokemon, dbz, and sailor moon. not sure what i was expecting

Meet Juniper, The Pet Fox Who’s Basically An Orange Dog.

@hums-happily

we all have that movie we saw too young and probably scarred us for life.

RETURN TO OZ

The Secret of NIMH

The Shining. I was eight. Thanks, dad.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan. I was also eight. I had nightmares about those ear-worms for days. My mother has not forgiven the birthday-party-mom who took us to see it and it’s been thirty-five years. I’m over it (it’s one of my favorite movies now) but my mother…she will never be over it.

Yes! The ear-worms! I saw it at the drive-in with my family. It was the second feature and I don’t remember the first and I don’t think I was awake for the whole ST movie but I will never forget the ear-worms.

Also Poltergeist.

MOVIE? I didn’t need a movie; TV was enough. Land of the FREAKING Lost, anyone? 

Oh my god, the ear-worms. Those things still skeeve me out.

Clan of the Cave Bear and the weird caveman rapes. Just…Mom!

Princess Mononoke.

Those demon worms that burrowed into people’s skin? 

The way that Moro’s severed head crawled across the ground to bite off Lady Eboshi’s arm?

The way the Spirit of the Forest’s head gelatinized after being shot off? 

This was not a children’s animated movie

The Wiz. Yeah it’s a musical. And yeah the evil queen, like puts the scarecrow in a steamer.

Also Return to Oz included electroshock and was a generally very fucked up movie

Once Upon A Forest. I had nightmares about that creeping, poisonous gas for YEARS. Also Mystery Men, first movie I ever saw where the hero died…and pretty gruesomely.

The Birds. Though to be fair, it wasn't *just* the movie. It was the fact that literally the next day, while at school, we had PE on a field *covered* in seagulls.

Guinea pig food fight. 🔊

Fuck you u digital ass lamb

ummm excuse me
