If you’re good, we’ll get ice creams and watch Finding Nemo later.”

Amazing New Species Discovered!
May 11, 2009 By
Friends, we stand at the threshold of evolutionary history, because the San Francisco Zoo has discovered the first-ever gorilla/giraffe hybrid! The Zoo has released this amazing photo of the baby “gorillaffe” (homo reticulus redonkuli), which should silence even the most doubtful skeptics, and you can see more on the Zoo’s Picasa pages.
Carrots—the gateway vegetable

“Listen, Doc, I sneak carrots into bed every chance I get. I’m eating like—well, a Guinea pig. I’m afraid it’s going to lead to broccoli binging… What can I do!?”
Timmie C., whatever you do—don’t let her try cilantro—it may be all over.
This week on “The Basket”, we go outside
May 11, 2009 By
“Welcome to the show. I’m your host, Sprinkles.”
“This week, we’ll be traveling through the back yard via basket…”
“Through the flowers, past the pond, finally landing in the orchard.”
“Join me, won’t you?” [Looks at camera, tilts head]
Jorden C., you know I’m a sucker for ani-pals getting their nature on.

This may not have been our first-ever Interspecies Snorgling post, but it’s definitely a CO Classic: “Holy inter-species bonding!”
(Also, have you called your mother yet? You know, she’s done a lot for you.)

Here’s the deal. “Finnegan” the squirrel was found under a tree in Renton WA. Finnegan was brought to the home of Debby “Sure I’ll take care of him!” Cantlon for care. Meanwhile, Debby’s papillion pup “Mademoiselle Giselle” (I am not making this up) decides she can help out too, and brings Finnegan in with her new puppies. Finnegan proves to be one sweet squirrel, riding mosh pits of puppies and cuddling with his littermates.

Honorary Moms

A friend of Sender-Inner Amy L. reports: “I’ve had another crazy adventure! On the Gold Coast (about 2-3 hours from my town), hundreds of baby flying foxes have been abandoned by their mothers for unknown reasons…”
“There have been a few violent storms and the parents just left the colony, leaving their babies starving to death. So a group of wildlife rehabilitators are rescuing them. They are an endangered species (grey-headed flying foxes).”
“…It was quite an experience! We worked for 18 hours two days in a row so I’m tired! But it was all worth it because they are so darn cute (see pictures)!”
