Tryin’ Ta Look Innocents

Big eyes gazing angelically off into the distance, coquettish glances to see if you’re paying attention, radiates more charm, gonna be your fluffy friend forever. Before you know it, you’re wrapped around its leetle fingers, feeding it chocolate covered grasshoppers, fool!


This Planigale is such a little heartbreaker, Gerhard Koertner

    “After a grueling climb to the top of the weirdly soft and pink colored mountain, I took a moment to view my surroundings and bask in my accomplishment. Today is a good day.”

    Look these liitle guys up. They are small but carnivorous and many photos show them biting the hand that picked them up. I think I’d keep my distance.

    I can’t take in the cute because I’m cringing from the improper use of “it’s”…

      “Like” :D

    • Looloo says:

      I know this is from a while back but…. there was no improper use of its…! If you’re referring to “you’re wrapped around its leetle fingers” then… that’s correct! ‘Its’ possesive uses no apostrophe!
      I truly do want a f̶i̶n̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶p̶u̶p̶p̶e̶t̶ planigale though :)

    Itty bitty, teeny tiny and oh, so very soft.

    I want one!

    I don’t know if it’s me but macro shots of yucky fingernails/cuticles are tres off-putting

    Marsupial? Hibernates to save energy? I could see a small dinosaur chasing one of these if they’re that primitive.
