Neener, Neener, Can’t Catch Me!

Aw, what’s the matter, pal? Can’t slink in and out of this fence like I can?

Gee, that’s just too bad… (heh, heh, heh)


From the uploader’s notes at YouTube: “Every evening a river otter comes to play with our daughter’s dog Rio. What was once an acquaintance on the other side of the fence has now become a friend who comes to play through the fence. It has been interesting to watch as their trust of each other has developed over the past several months.”

A Friend is Like a Shamrock.

Hard to find.

Friday Haiku: A Cute Dilemma

Do red pandas rule?

Which critter’s cutest of all?

What Would Japan Do?


Neil M. & Felder took this photo of a 100% cute red panda yawning in a tree at Whipsnade Zoo.

A Straw, Some Milk; Hours of Fun!

Kids! They’re all the same when Mom’s not looking.

The Eternal Struggle of Red Panda vs. Pumpkin

In the harsh violence of nature’s realm, survival is often a matter of protection and patience. Here, we see the wily pumpkin deploy its tough shell to outlast the red panda’s brutal attack, while also emitting a faint odor that confuses the agressor, causing it to stumble helplessly in the snow until the dinner chime rings.

Honey, Kids, DINNER!

Sometimes, take-out is just simpler.


Thanks for bringing home the bacon, Robert R.

It’s possible—possums can indeed be cute

Whether possums are cute or not has been a raging debate at C.O. for years. Scientific Polls have shown that indeed they can be cute, if the lighting is right and teeth gnashing is kept to a minimum. Lil’ possum named Ratatouille is more proof on the pro-possum side. Check the shredding action:

Built for Comfort, Not for Speed

Koalas are usually slow-moving creatures, but every now and then you find one who really likes to floor it. GANGWAY!

Can You See Me Now?

Hi snow lubbers! I’m your tour guide, Frosty Fox, and I’m going to show you around our ski village. Here, is the base of the mountain. Over there, are the ski lifts. To get to the ski lodge go past the sport shop, you’ll see the coffee shop beside it, to the right of the sauna, next to the pizza parlour on the left of the first aid station (I think) just beyond the skating rink before the parking lot.

If you get lost – just follow me!


All whitey then, Ant

Aupossum Bon Pain

Pastries put up a good fight – but I def-eated ‘em!


Everyone is going to start singing I Ate Too Moishe, Anne L. who says “Apparently, this opossum broke into the bakery, snorted up some pastries and was too full to run away!”
