Hi.

I had to stop, look up from my phone, and take a deep breath before reblogging.

oh my goodness, one of dian fossey’s first close up observations with gorillas happened when she was trying to climb a tree to see them better, but so badly that by the time she’d gotten up the entire group had come out of hiding to look at her: “Nearly all members of the group had totally exposed themselves, forgetting about hiding coyly behind foliage screens because it was obvious to them that the observer had been distracted by tree-climbing problems, an activity they could understand.”

hello, fellow apes

Seriously, do people think the headline is literally all that exists? There’s a whole article underneath it, you know!

Except maybe a rapist.

This is like a small child uncertainty taking a bite of their first piece of cake and then realizing that it’s the best damn thing they’ve ever eaten and shoving it all right into their face with grabby hands and just delighted. I love this kitty.

This cat looks very graceful. A proper lady.
