A bit zen and new age hippy, but this is cute animal friends slideshow overload. Relaxing, then they spoil it with 1 pic at just over 6 minutes.

Very sweet.

That otter has serious skills!

What an extraordinary animal.

Duma · March 09, 2013, 02:04:00 pm

nuts isn't it?
apparently not closely related to canines either.

magpie · March 09, 2013, 02:22:59 pm

What is it? It's like a Fox supermodel.

Sorry can't remember, it's an IFLS pic that popped up on my fb.
edit:
found it - a maned wolf:

They're fantastic looking things!

I wouldn't have thought they could see those optical illusion things but I guess they can.

The cats can be jerks video is good too, I only just watched it.

slackline · March 11, 2013, 03:44:24 pm

(Its a Capybara, a rodent the cat probably couldn't eat!)

magpie · March 11, 2013, 03:57:33 pm

I love Capybaras, although I frequently get confused and call them Capoeiras which is a very different thing.

They're essentially giant guinea pigs, aren't they?

From IFLS...
"
This adorable little critter was born last week at Zoo Zürich. This is a mouse deer - which is not closely related to either mice, or deer. They're also known as Chevrotains and they're the smallest hoofed animals in the world. There are 10 extant species and they are almost exclusively found in South and Southeast Asia, with one species being native to Central and West Africa.

I saw that this morning on IFLS's Facebook page. Pocket sized (not really a)deer.

SpanishJuan · March 12, 2013, 06:49:56 pm

Admittedly not as cute as the mouse deer

You can print out the snake illusion and try it yourself.

The person who posted the video the GIF is based on is collecting results (see the YouTube page).
