I think they dropped the ball with the blue and gold macaws. This one looks positively sane.

I once worked with a bird breeder and her macaw was the scariest animal I've ever interacted with. And I played with an adolescent cougar.

That fact is not fun at all. That's a friggin' weird uncomfortable fact.

Thanks, ancient Egyptians for codifying the meaning of jerboa sex dreams. That was definitely super-important to do and an important part of your historical cultural legacy, what with the frequency of jerboas appearing in sexually charged dreams and all. Definitely resonates through to modern times.

God help us if ancient Egypt had the internet...

That's not even close to the weirdest thing Egyptians wrote about

since the Ancient Greeks onward we thought hieroglyphs held the ancient mystic secrets of the universe, turns out they were about Pharaohs loving their sisters and eating gods' entrails

I really like the Natural History Museum plush dinos. I have a Pteranodon and small and medium Utahraptors. The Utahraptor and Velociraptor are fluffy with nice colouration.:3: I enjoy the feathery, fluffy dinos.

For Christmas, you should get him a huggable plush dino and a cool book about prehistoric creatures.:)

i mean this is exceptional quality for ali/china but still not up to the par of a discerning crayfish enthusiast such as myself, how do i petition them to make something else or maybe it's already there in the same secret stash as the jerboa

Yeah, we get a lot of rich people come in and buy poo poo for status or something. We sold a couple $800 tigers in the past year. They make small plush too, in the $50-$200 range, those usually sell pretty fast. I haven't seen anything over $1000 go, yet, but I've only been there a year.
