Nuebot posted:That is one fat finch. We get them wild here and they're pretty cute. For some reason they keep trying to adopt flocks of smaller finches even though they're like, twice the size of the other birds so you'll see a cluster of tiny finches hopping around with one huge java sparrow chilling with them. It's great when they all start to land on the same branch though because the big one will make all the little ones tumble off.  Here's some crappy pictures I took from my parents' backyard like five years ago. Java sparrow  Chinese ring necked dove  Zebra dove (stupid but rather cute)  Common waxbill  And a common house gecko chilling by their porch light  In terms of geometry, I think a wedge and a sphere are pretty cute.

Kwyndig posted:More Beans please. More Beans you say? I can deliver. Beans spends most of his time on the couch or my spot on the bed. This is the look I get when I tell him to scram.  He's got a collection of ties, bowties, and other accouterments.    And this is the look I get when I say 'walk'  Here he is the day we took him home, at about 5 months old. He'd been found with his mother and brother, after having been hit by a car. He had a couple surgeries due to that - his internal organs had been squished and he had a herniated diaphragm. They didn't think he was going to make it but the little guy pulled through and you wouldn't even know he'd been hurt. Those little spots on his arms are where he got his name - a little girl at the rescue wanted to call him 'Jellybeans' - we shortened it.  He was scared at the adoption event - it was only his second or third time being out after his surgery, so he was hiding under a chair, under the lady that was fostering him. We came by to see a different dog, but Beans came right over and flopped down next to me and gave me this look:  I still get this look when he gets belly rubs. And the rest is history - he came home with us that day. The 'stay off the couch' rule lasted about 8 minutes. The 'stay off the bed' rule lasted almost 2 weeks. Now he sleeps at the foot of the bed between my wife and I, lazes on the couch to watch TV with us, and gets (mostly) daily runs at the dog park. He's a good buddy, I like him.

Ms Boods posted:Those notches in his ears are from his hell-raising days of keeping all of the other cats away from his territory (all acquired before I knew him). These days, Gus (who is only 5 or 6) protects his garden and our garden - he also watches out for the old rat bag when I take him outside. That is when he's not dancing up behind him and bopping him on the head before dancing away again. It's so hard to resist the weird demands of old man cattes. "You want the salt from those french fries, but not directly off the fry, only from my finger? Alright buddy."

Yeah...this feline hazard waste site pretty much gets whatever he wants. He doesn't ask for much, really. The main thing he did for me was immediately assume a habit my little cat (called Beans, by the way) always did -- as soon as I got up in the morning, she'd slip into the bathroom, in the dark, this little grey shadow within the shadows (the light is so bright in the bath and hallway, that when I'm up at 4am in the winter, I ninja everywhere in the dark to keep from waking up Mr Boods). I was completely devastated when she was killed and I still get upset about it, but the next morning was one of my early mornings...and in the dark, in the shadows, this old rat bag slipped into the bathroom to hang out with me. It's been getting on three years, and he's deaf, increasingly senile, and going blind, but every morning, he reports for duty whether I'm up at 4am or sleep in to a decadent 7. He does not, and never has, breached or even wanted to breach, the bathroom when Mr Boods gets up, even when I'm away on work or whatever.

Rolo posted:I love Beans, he is a good dog. He loves you too. Seriously, this dog has never met a person he doesn't think is amazing. I didn't even post any good pictures of his ridiculous curly tail. It gets tighter when he's happy and straight when he's not, or when he's sleeping. It's pretty much always as tightly wound as it can get when we're at the dog park.   And here's one of him reluctantly sharing cuddle time with Cooper, my friend's big drooly idiot dog.

Incoming olde catte! Look at those teef. His name is Manzanita, and he's 20. His girl brought him from Chicago to Phoenix. We were worried about how he would handle it but after a few months of being a scaredy catte he settled in and now spends his days wandering the house, lying in the sun in the backyard and wailing for food from anybody who passes by. He's skin and bones even though he eats like a horse. He is totally deaf and can't hear the racket he makes, and this leads him to blunder into other cattes who have already issued a growl warning. But he's been good therapy for our two new adoptees who aren't used to other cats yet. Athena went from being freaked out a week ago to finally chillin a bit and I took this last night:  Actual butts touching and both asleep. Manz's "don't care, I'm old" attitude has won her over at last. Milo the big Maine Coon still has a way to go yet.

I will never stop enjoying the fact that baby capybaras just look like adult capybaras but sized down slightly.

Capybaras evolved features that would give them a strong advantage in a petting zoo environment, millions of years in advance of the existence of petting zoos. That's some smart genes.
