Animal Antics REPRINT

All right, I finally broke down and watched this video. I had been avoiding it because I don’t approve of apex predators, like hammerhead sharks, as entertainment. I think the diver’s striped wet suit is to make the sharks think he’s some kind of sea snake.

But the rest of the clips are fun. The bear opening the car door, the raccoon performing a high wire act on the bird feeder, the cow nursing baby goats–just gotta love ’em. Unless it’s your car that the bear climbs into.

Sanity Break: Cool Critters REPRINT

When the hurly-burly’s done, When the battle’s lost and won/

Everyone around here knows It’s time for critter videos.

Thing is, you never know what animals are going to do next. Or what they’re doing just now, sometimes. Like the dog frantically trying to remove rocks from the brook. Or the cockatiels who won’t let the hapless human type on the keyboard. Go figure.

Quokkas’ Home Movies REPRINT

I’m beginning to fear that maybe this quokka stuff is getting out of hand; but then I’m getting killed with allergies today, so what do I know?

See if you can spot Byron in the crowd of neighbors, friends, and relatives. Some of them will be getting together to play Bell Mountain Trivia later tonight.

I have to go to bed. I feel awful.

Eccentric Pets & Other Critters REPRINT

From September 9, 2018

Actually, the most eccentric characters in this video are the humans who let a bear into their house. It seems very unwise.

But there’s also the dog who feeds bunnies (and a piglet, and a duck) instead of eating them, and a grey goose who feeds his friends–a whole bunch of fish. These are glimpses into the renewal of Creation: when God says, “Behold, I make all things new.”

Critter Break REPRINT

From August 1, 2018

Why cats and dogs take so much guff from cockatiels is one for the Durants. Look for more of those unexpected animal friendships.

Also look for two critters you hardly ever see in video–a softshell turtle and a bush baby.

Animals in Crazy Places REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Dogs up on top of the roof–how did they get there? Wild turkey raising cain in the living room–who let him in? And of course the cat in the lizard tank: note the lizard trying to keep his cool. Enjoy these odd videos!

The Attack of the Baby Sloths REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From January 10, 2020

THIS JUST IN: Ruthlessly wielding high-impact charges of irresistible cuteness, baby sloths have driven an entire Bigfoot population (Bigfeets? doesn’t sound quite right…) out of the rain forests of Costa Rica. Authorities have warned human tourists, “Don’t be there when they make those cozy wah-wah sounds–that’s how they get you.”

The ‘Citizen Kane’ of Furry Fun REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Both this video and Citizen Kane show scenes of subway cars full of people with owls. But then I haven’t seen Citizen Kane in a long time and I might be confusing it with some other classic film.

All the other animals in this video have fur instead of feathers.

Who’s That Knocking at My Door? REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From January 7, 2021

I think this must’ve been filmed through one of those fisheye lens peepholes in the door. Otherwise, the homeowner might have just opened the door when the doorbell rang.

But be fair! When your doorbell rings, how would you ever imagine it was… a bear? Since when do bears ring doorbells?

And those little figures he knocked down and played with–didn’t those used to be made of concrete? I remember them as being fairly heavy.

Moral of the video: Don’t be in too much of a hurry to open your door.

Kitten Cuddles Mouse (?)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Is this for real–or is it AI messing with our brains?

But the Bible says these things will someday happen: “The lion and the lamb shall lie down together,” Isaiah 11:6. Every now and then, God gives us a little glimpse of that. You should’ve seen my iguana cuddling up, on a snowy day outside, with his dog and cat friends on my bed. Three simple souls, in the innocence God gave them.

(I wonder if the mouse is actually a rat.)
