BEWARE: CUTE ANIMALS INSIDE

Ha ha, that parrot. My sister became a bird lady this year. From budgie number one to budgie number three, like two months. I think she's getting up the gumption to go parrot.

If I knew how to post photos, I'd give you a picture of rabbits on an outing.

Thanks #4, you beat me to it. Was it a 'white space" rather than space problem?

Has anyone seen fennec foxes? The cutest animal.

Martin, it is simple! {img src="yourlinkhere.jpg"} Angle brackets instead of curly and that's it!

Budgies are darling. They reproduce best words with the sound ee in it: kiki, piggy, titty etc. Tell your sis.

jb, that's a broken image for me.

WHO SAID FOXES????

Fenec fox

Robert

It works!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>foxes






(Sorry.)

I will tell her about the budgies' linguistic proclivities. right now it's heartwarming enough just watching them kiss.

I think if I were a tattoo guy, I'd've figured it out by now--but if I were a tattoo guy, this would be my tattoo:

The bunnies, they got a PINK car!!!

That's the spirit, everyone.

BABY WOMBAT! Or, er, something. IS CUTE!

OTTERS

OH GOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEASE



make it happen

the wonder of it all





bowls me over

martin, budgies apparently don't talk unless they're alone--i mean they don't pick up human language. There's one right next to me right now and though alone his chatter is difficult to fathom. I just want him to say 'jebe ga', which sort of means fuck it.

Otters are the best. Those .gifs are great, Lola!

17: Isn't that a pangolin from that fascinating article posted in the lit Snobs list? They are the neatest looking creatures! eta: LOL at 14

Also thanks for the fennec Robert. They truly are very cute - must be the ears.

Re #4, if you go here:
http://runryder.com/helicopter/gallery/180/pic25220.gif
then come back to this thread you should see it, that worked for me.

"Forbidden." Rick, your pic looks broken too!

>25 RickHarsch: so we need to bug their cage. Good project for a Tuesday.

Thanks for repping river otters too, Lola!

OH YOU FLUFFY BEAUTY

Lola, I have starred an extremely long explanation for posting pictures, I think from freeque, and I always go back to that. But your simple explanation was appealing so I gave it a shot and got an X. This is not the world I signed up for.

Rick--see Martini!

Aw, twinkle, twinkle, little bats! How I wonder what you're ats!

it's weird, because I could never make the complicated explanation work, but Lola's was just right. Are you using angle brackets? Did you forget a quotation mark?

Oh, and the price of admission:

MANATEES!!!!!!

This is awesome.

'Love them vixens...

>18 LolaWalser:

The pangolin takes umbrage at being called a wombat.

If you like Manatee's you will LUV Dugongs. With twins.

SORRY, Mr. Anteater! Why do you look like an Edward Gorey creature?

Anteaters: cuter than previously realized! Especially granny on an outing there.

Anteater-type cute? It can kill a grown man.

Pangolins rule, anteaters drool...

Bunnies too tired to consider staging a comeback.

Go Teddy!

I have a platypus link left over from another thread:



Robert

I get it now Lola, whilst everyone is AHhing over the baby (#54) Mummy sneaks around behind and... slash, slash

Guido, you literalist, you.

Aw that bunny! LIFE IS HARD.

From which we see bunnies are 90% optical illusion, 10% head.

If platypus is your typus...

Thanks Lola,

Platypussss's are my types! As a small boy (1956? Yes the Olympic games) I remember seeing them in a creek I used to swim in, behind my primary school. That creek (The Merrie creek, in Coburg) became severely polluted in the '60's thru the late '80's
but after some serious work, it slowly recovered and recorded Platypus sightings in the early zeros.

Go Platypus .

I think the young are called "Puggles". Though please do look that up.

ETA. Oops, a baby echidna is called a "puggle". It seems there is no "cute" name for a baby platypus.

I still think there should be one!

Platykitty

Robert

Platypup ?

>67 eromsted: ah crud. my favourite food is adorable.

a baby platypus, a ‘puzzle’

Yep #69, I do like that.

Now for the collective noun?

A "question" of plattypusssss's?

Oh and did someone mention WOMBATS?

I must be on a roll.

Well #68, could you eat (if you could find it) This cutie?

>72 guido47: I'll just have to get used to thinking of them in the samed category as these guys:



But please, nobody post any cute dungeness crab!

>73 MeditationesMartini:
No cute dungeness crabs. But here's a pair of beautiful Sally Lightfoot crabs from the Galapagos Islands.

Cute crustacea!

Cute invertebrates!!!! Yes they are.

Take a gander at Jean Painlevé's Acera (1972). ("The Witches' Dance") The stars are introduced at 1:34; the "ballet" starts at 4:07, if you're in a hurry.

Criterion has issued Painlevé's movies on three DVDs, "Science is fiction". Warmly recommended.

platypus youngster: marsupinette

You know it had to come to this...



I used to LUV watching these guys err... gals err...paramecium :-)

Just don't self flaggelate

After Dandydog1's comment,

I am reticent to post my amoeba shots (from Wiki)



Perhaps they have no style or even worse, no 'shape'?

And if anyone post's a "CUTE" virus, I will...

Lets get back to Fluffy's. Although that Fluffy Bunny in #73 did scare me a bit.

Mean lookin' mother...
Take you out, just like that.

Guido.

Fine, they're all cute. Don't make me post ebola.

Teenage elephant throwing a tantrum:

LOL

Not sure if this has appeared on LT before.

Ah, DUMBO.

I fell in love with it the first time I saw it.
Although this picture is the first time I have seen it, with it's membranes extended.

About 2000M?

93~ I think this one is dumbo.

At 92 is a vampire octopus.
No idea on depth, sure looks deeper for dumbo.

Love them cute cephalopoda!

Baby elephant on the beach:

...

Sorry, had to show Dumbo again

Though this is also an excuse to ask how do you embed a "video" (eg. #98) directly into talk?
I did though notice they are all very short (say 2 seconds?)

Those aren't videos; you can't embed videos in talk. Those are GIF's which can be constructed as short animated pictures; you get them that way or possibly save them that way from your recording device. Not all GIF's are animated.

>99 LolaWalser:

'Beautiful Otus Asio!
Or is it Asio Otis?
Or, Otis Redding?
Aw, crap, I get 'em all confuse-ed.

And, back on >8 LolaWalser:, 9, 14,
The dog awoke me at 0200 to the incessant sounds of a Red Fox in the yard! They sound like the cross of a duck-dog-demon. The 4 stooges (my Yellow lab and 3 stoopid cats) were quite interested in this vixine, vulpine serenade. I of course, was just wanting of my beauty sleep...

I'm taking tomorrow off on account of this minor low pressure that's gonna whup us off side of the head. Time to hibernate for a couple of days.

A moff!

Sneaky snakey!

Something odd's going on here...

À nous la liberté!!

Only a photocopier could've made more!

DOG BITES MAN, BUT DOG FEEDS LAMB

Awwwwww those puppies with the proud mama!

My, that's a BIG strawberry.

Oh, har! Wrong end, little turkle! Or maybe they only eat the greens?!

#116

Flying lesson #4! "See? See? It's easy! Keep your wings open..." "Moooooom! What if I have to goooo?"

What a cute, spindly camelopardalis!

I really don't understand why I couldn't get an "extras" role in That Disney Film?

Fox on a windy day.

Whoa! What kind of snake is that with the spikes?

My niece sprung from a courtship that began with her dad plying my sister with stuffed toys of these guys (and wine) for months until she agreed to go out wiht him:



I like to think some penguin luck rubbed off on the kid.

Whoa! What kind of snake is that with the spikes?
Atheris hispida, from the wonders of google search by image

You have given me two great gifts today.

More snake in a sweater:

I just love the snake in a sweater. And I also love those penguin children.

And that prickly bush viper!

"Anything a bird can do, I can do better!"

Lola, I think I have spotted a soft spot in you : you are in to furrr, feathers and skin

I keep wanting to post "Like" on these photos -- and there's no button here.

<>139 MeditationesMartini: Ugh, right? Existential dread for our times. I tried to find a relevant picture and couldn't, but I did find this:

Har! Cats are natural-born saboteurs.

It rox to be a fox!

>143 LolaWalser:

I'm tired of all these mastication videos on the internet.

>144 LolaWalser:

"And the Award for best Mary Wigman performance by a young Bradypus, goes to...!"

Wheeeee!

stop it Lolaaaaaaaa !

You're the raven who DOESN'T want to slide off the "snow bank", Macou?

Have a roll.

Ohhh I am mezmerized by the Beady Little Eyes

Keep 'em coming, Lola!

142 &nd 143 are driving me nuts

Hi lola,

Isiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

Almost there in #148.

Not bad for an atheist huh? OK I used google, but I did know the phrase.

Cute animal photobomb:

>158 AnnaClaire: ah yes. Reminds me of this classic:

Zoo version:

They KNOW they are being funny!

I'm trying to figure out what in heck is the guy in the middle in #158 holding. Is it a bird? Is it a mammal? Is it a muff?

I think it's a very fluffy dog. Probably a pomeranian or pekingese.

It's got a giant squirrelly tail.

"Now, if I inhaaaaaaaaale, Mac won't see me behind this tree...! hold it... hold it... hold it..."

"My name means 'Effortless Elegance' in Tajik and Chinese."

Just pissed myself with that pic 158

YOU DID????

Today's forecast: sunny with a chance of furballs.

These are getting sillier every day - keep them coming!

I would like to hear the music being made in 171.

Robert

The best part about 170 is that his paws kind of look like the tips of reeeeeallly long ears.

It's Erich Zann in nature.

Am i glad this salon is not about literature anymore ! It was getting hard to keep up appearances. At least here we can be our drooling demented selves...

From the TwisterNederlands picdump:



Robert

Ha! Too perfect. I hope it's not a stuffed head. I came across a picture of a schoolroom of hamsters sitting at the desks--some taxidermist's art. Cute and horrible.

More cat stuff:

This was uploaded to Amazon for the book pictured. The cat clearly has a sense of humor to go with its sense of evil-ness.

Blankies, who needs blankies!

One is a fearsome monster, the other is... a mere rhino!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Martin, if you're a tea drinker, I'm thinking you may want this:

NEVER gets old!

!!!!!!!!!

Life is gonna get better from here on out.

Moooooooooom! she's touching me agaiiiiiiin.........!!!

We have unfinished business, Red Baron and I...

Feet together, see, see?

How did anyone ever get that ferret into that outfit. He must have been drugged.

198 is great for anyone who's either had, or been, a kid - I guess that's all of us.

CAT-IN-A-BOX!

That dog with the barbell does not compute. Invisible wire?

Some play with fire, but the REAL badasses play with...
