*animal video ping*

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.

(note this is now simply “animal video” ping, since I feature more than just kittens)

Cute video. Never thought of otters as pets. Wondering where they deposit their waste.

Thanks for the info. More specifically, the article says it is possible with lots of patience. AKA “lots of luck, Charlie.”

One of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read is “Ring of Bright Water” by Gavin Maxwell. Otters are wonderful.

Ever see a river otter take apart a live salmon?
Not pretty but they gotta eat.

Adorable. Thanks for the ping!

Our house is the house the neighbors talk about. (behind our back..lol) We have three neighbors here in our subdivision raising chickens and some turkeys. Every evening we put out cat food and scrips from our table. Not unusual to see baby raccoons and possums eating the food. We have baby possums visiting now. They are so cute.

possums-They Are Not Destructive Animals While in neighborhoods, they do not destroy lawns or property. Dr. Karen Becker explains that if you simply leave a door open and remove any food that might draw them in, they eventually move on without disrupting your home and belongings.

They Eliminate Ticks According to statistics by the National Wildlife Federation, one possum can potentially kill 4000 ticks in a week. This is due to their vigorous self-grooming methods.

There’re videos of a group of otters taking apart an adult crocodile. Terrifying.
