This anxiety is killing me!

Too much stress… Give him a break! Aren’t there some laws now about not stressing the poor animals? I knw that we live in a modern world, but what can the poor Slow Loris do if the fax just won’t work today and the computer broke out of nowhere?!? :(

Celtic Realm – Bald and Skinny Guinea Pig

Celtic Realm - Bald Guinea Pig

I are bald… :(

Celtic Realm was a Baldwin, one of the 2 species of hairless guinea pig. Baldwin’s are born fully haired and gradually lose their hair completely from weaning… A Skinny Pig is the other species… They are born with only a small amount of hair, normally on their nose and feet. They are very sweet animals but unfortunately in Australia, the breed is very weak and they rarely live past a couple of months.
The following picture is the skinny pig.

I foundz a little fishy.
The tiny baztard triez to run.

 

Awwwee, isn’t this one adorable otter?
Here’s some info about it:
“Small-clawed Otter in Burgers Bush, a part of Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The Oriental Small-clawed Otter (Aonyx cinerea), also known as Asian Small-clawed Otter, is the smallest otter species in the world.
The Oriental Small-clawed Otter is found in mangrove swamps and freshwater wetlands of Bangladesh, Burma, India, southern China, Taiwan, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The full grown otters measure approximately 90 cm from nose to tail tip. The tail is 30 cm long. The otter can weigh up to 3 – 4,5 kg.
It feeds on fish, frogs, crabs, crayfish and shellfish.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, pollution and hunting in some areas, the Oriental Small-clawed Otter is evaluated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.”

When Jerry takes too many steroids… We live in modern times and the world is continuously evolving and adapting… Our Jerry is not what he used to be anymore and nor are the usual animal games. The next thing you know is that Fred Flinsotne moved into a villa :D

Cat on the Door, Chasing Flying Mouse

“What?!? Hazen’t you see the flying mouse too?”

 

Uhm…well, to be honest, I didn’t see that mouse, but that cat doesn’t look very same there. I can see her ambitions, but I’d rather have her chasing mice on the floor :D

Prairie Dog with a Carrot

“Is thiz carrot still good, I wonder… Now where does they put the expiration dates nowadays…?”


Here’s an example of an animal concerned by a healthy life: eating veggies, checking for expiration dates and acting cute. Is there anything else that we want from such a furry creature? Maybe to pet it… :D
