Title: Facts and things that make you go 'aww'.
Post by: sweetiepi on November 09, 2018, 05:54:01 pm
A place for sharing facts and other cute/adorable things. I'll be attempting to make at least one post every week. :))
(This also isn't solely my idea- Poet is the main person behind this!)
Feel free to share images and what not as well! :D

Fact 1: Red Pandas use their bushy tails as a blanket to keep warm!

Fact 2: Sea otters have special little skin pouches on their tummies - not for babies, they use them to hold their favourite pebble!

I've forgotten to do this whilst I've been busy, so here's 3 cute facts:

1. Squirrels plant thousands of new trees each year simply by forgetting where they put their acorns.
2. Norway knighted a penguin.
3. Gentoo penguins propose to their lifemates with a pebble.

Humans are very cute creatures. They like to collect shiny things and add it to their dens. Most of them find another human to spend a lot of their time with, usually staying together for life. Sometimes, small groups of related humans (known as families) adopt a smaller creature of a different species and raise it alongside their own, sometimes not realising that it isn't a human child. Humans produce liquids from their eyes when they are upset, and sometimes don't leave their dens all day, not even to find food. Humans are habitual creatures and sleep in the same place every night, often changing their skins (known as "clothing") in the morning only to get back into the same skins (clothing) at night. They can get damaged very easily, and cannot survive falls or swimming under water for extended periods. Although they are quite delicate, although they are very diverse, humans from all over the world are phenologicaly similar and share many similar experiences. Sometimes they even communicate using a series of 26 alphabet characters and keyboard symbols on a forum known as "Atarnotes."

Humans. Awww  ;D

Seahorses are another animal breed that mate for life. They almost never leave each other and, when moving around, the pair will intertwine tails just like a couple of humans would hold hands. They also hold tails while sleeping.

When a giraffe is ready to give birth, they will often return to the place she was born to have her baby.

A Japanese dog named Hachikō would meet his owner at his station everyday after work and they would walk home together.
When his owner unfortunately died at work, the dog continued to show up to the station at the same time each evening for 9 while years until he died.

They have a statue of the dog at Shibuya Station. I found it very sad. Looks like a beautiful dog, though.

When rabbits get super excited and start jumping around, its called a binky!

"There are few things as perfect as a rabbit binky. An expression of pure happiness, rabbits will pop up into the air in excitement and twist their little bodies into any number of acrobatic feats. Binkies are usually followed by running madly around the room."
