Bukharan Markhor,

Another day, another doggy you can’t pet. Meet the dhole (Cuon alpinus). Found widely across parts of Asia from India to China to Indonesia, this social canid typically lives in groups of up to 12 individuals. Sometimes it even socializes with other groups of dholes to form “super packs” of more than 30 members! Teamwork enables these hunters to take down prey ten times their size. And unlike many other species of canid, dholes allow their pups to feed first on kills. Their diet includes pigs, deer, and buffalo.

Yes, this colorful furry creature is a moth! And one of the most stylish out of the cutworm moths and allies family (Noctuidae) - at least in my opinion!

Found in Latin America with sightings from Mexico all the way down to Rio Grande Do Sol

Previously thought to be monotypic (meaning its the only species in its genus) but some new research proposes a few species within its genus

Described by Francis Walker, hence the name Walker's Moth

Despite looking fuzzy, moth's wings are actually comprised of scales, and in this case, Walker's Moth's fur-like scales help with insulation to maintain temperature

I don't know if this is whimsical enough, but here's cozmo in a big flower crown circle. He should brighten up many peoples days :]
