Happy World Meerkat Day!

July 3rd is World Meerkat Day. Most of us know about Timon, the spirited meerkat from The Lion King! This omnivore mammal is a mongoose famous for its upright posture, as it often stands on its rear legs and gazes over the Southern African plains where it lives. Incredibly social, meerkats continually work together as a group. A few watch for predators, while others forage for food, such as insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. They are excellent hunters who use various tactics to eat dangerous prey, such as toxic millipedes and poisonous scorpions, and they sometimes are tamed to be used as rodent catchers (Source:internationaldays.co)

Saw these Adorable Modern Day Dinosaurs while taking Zeus out for a walk this morning 🌄

•a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) 🐦‍⬛

•2 Common Ground Doves (Columbina passerina) 🕊

I also saw a green anole (Anolis carolinensis), but i couldn't get a picture because I was busy tying up Zeus's poop bag 😅

Zeus and I are watching Zoboomafoo this morning 🌄

Zeus and Zoboomafoo would be friends fr ☺️

Just got done watching Look Back

Honestly, it was a Absolutely beautiful and brilliant film 😄

If I were ever to write a Manga or Book I would make it like Paleo Documentary (similar to Walking with Dinosaurs/Beast or Prehistoric Planet), kinda like what Jack Blackburn did with Prehistoria: The Raptors Tail.

I like how fluid and crisp the animation is ☺️

It's kinda interesting comparing this to Fujimoto's other Famous works, Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch.

Seeing the Chainsaw Man parody "Shark Kick" gave me a good laugh 🤣, the name reminds me the name of CSM's first opening theme "Kick Back" 🤔

I'm glad at the end Fujino chose to still create manga, it's what Kyomoto would have wanted 🥲

Made this after hearing that Playstation Sony will cease production of physical PlayStation game discs in the near future.

Happy World Porcupine Day!

World Porcupine Day is celebrated annually on July 2nd to raise awareness about these gentle, quilled herbivores. Although they have an intimidating coat of up to 30,000 quills, these unique rodents play a vital role in our ecosystems.

Porcupines are divided into two main families: Old World porcupines (Hystricidae) found in Africa, Europe, and Asia, and New World porcupines (Erethizontidae) found in the Americas. Both have quills, but they differ significantly in their traits and habitats:

•New World Porcupines: These arboreal (tree-dwelling) rodents are smaller and feature long, prehensile tails that function like an extra hand to grip branches. They have barbed quills. Examples include the North American porcupine and the Brazilian porcupine.

•Old World Porcupines: These are larger, strictly terrestrial (ground-dwelling) animals. They lack prehensile tails but have longer, detachable, and heavily banded quills. Examples include the African crested porcupine and the Cape porcupine.

Porcupines act as vital "ecosystem engineers" by promoting forest biodiversity, creating crucial wildlife habitats, and transporting essential nutrients from tree canopies to the forest floor. Though sometimes viewed as pests for stripping bark, their natural foraging and digging behaviors sustain a vast web of other plant and animal species.

Me and Zeus saw these Beautiful Parrots 🦜 while on our 2nd walk. I've seen them flying around our neighborhood for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen them hanging around in our cul-de-sac.

The top 2 candidates (according to iNaturalist) are:

•Rosy-faced Lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis)

•Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus)

Both are well known to be invasive species here in Florida. Which means you likely won't get in trouble if you go out bring one home with you, though I'd recommend doing a bit of research on that first.

While I was walking to The Pet Project this morning 🌄 I saw these amazing Dinosaurs:

•A Rooster (Gallus gallus domesticus) 🐓

•A Peacock (Pavo cristatus) 🦚

And a few other cool creature ☺️
