Welcome to WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

Seems like everyone could use a hug this week. Good thing evolution gave the blue-ringed octopus all those arms.  (Disclaimer: The blue-ringed octopus is venomous. Please do not actually attempt to hug one.)

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE is all about animals—both wild and domesticated—and the complicated relationship we have with them.

As listed above, posts can consist of anything related to animals: science, evolution, behavior, food production, humane living, or family pets.

Whether you work with animals or if you’re just a nature lover, this group will hopefully have something for you. I look forward to your contributions.

To access its poison, a slow loris rubs its hands under glands near its armpits—"kind of like Molly [Shannon] from Saturday Night Live," Munds quipped. Then the animal applies the poison to its teeth, and the resulting bite can put a person or predator into potentially fatal anaphylactic shock.

We may call this behavior bizarre, Dallas calls it, date night.

Thanks Tor. I don't post much any more. IDK, my interests in things wax and wane. Been on a bit of a poetry kick lately, as that seems to be all I have time for.
