bunnies from france


I couldn't wait for real life cute day to post this little guy. I found him while googling university logos. I think it was fate. Someday I'm going to go to France, find him, and take him home with me.

Life Aquatic


This is a nudibranch. It is a type of sea snail, and is carnivorous. There are many different types and colors of nudibranchs, and many are brightly colored and fantastic. Some are cute. This nudibranch is cute.

The word "nudibranch" comes from Latin nudus meaning "naked", and Greek brankhia meaning "gills". The name is appropriate since the dorids (infraclass Anthobranchia) breathe through a branchial plume of bushy extremities on their back, rather than using gills. By contrast, on the back of the aeolids in infraclass Cladobranchia there are brightly colored sets of tentacles called cerata.

roly-poly



Hedgehogs are an animal close to my heart. Like me, they are nocturnal, lactose intolerant, enjoy warm climates, and have a tendency to hibernate (which is something I've always wanted to do). Unlike me, they enjoy eating bugs - but they also like berries and melons. When avoiding predators, they roll into a ball with all of their spines pointing out. (*note: their spines are hollow hairs and are not barbed) They are difficult to maintain as pets, but someday I may try.
