Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, Wolfie? (Updated 12/24!)
Once a year, Wolfie gets a visit from some pals. Once a year, Wolfie becomes a total off the rails spaz.
This is that time.
“This is our little Wolfie. He has friends coming to vist from Singapore for Christmas. They only get to come once a year and he misses them so much! When we tell him they are going to be here soon he gets super excited!! Video by David E.”
UPDATE!
They’re still not here yet. More as this develops.


“He is starting the countdown now. Anytime he hears the slightest noise or UPS, FED EX, or a car goes by he runs to the front window to see if it’s them!! He is such a devoted little soul.” -David E.
UPDATE #2, December 24th
They’re here! They’re here! They’re here!

Destroy The Halls With Boughs Of Maymo
Maymo and Penny decided “Deck The Halls” wouldn’t quite do the trick–so they took it one step further. An APB has now been issued– their current whereabouts are unknown. They should be considered armed & extremely frisky.
“In keeping with the cheer that comes along with the holiday, I’ve just uploaded a video of Reindeer Maymo & Santa Penny destroying a large number of Christmas-themed items, and then blowing up the house. Happy holidays from Maymes & Penny.” -Jay.

Two-Toed Sloth Joins the Family at the National Aquarium
The National Aquarium welcomed a new addition to their Upland Tropical Rainforest—a baby sloth! The baby, named Scout, was born on November 17 to mother Ivy. In order to give Ivy and her baby time to bond, the staff has been observing the pair from a distance. Because of this, the newborn’s weight, height, and gender have yet to be determined. The baby joins an ever growing family of five with Syd, Howie, Xeno, Camden and Ivy. Scout is the fourth sloth born at the aquarium and the second born to Ivy. In celebration of Scout’s arrival, the National Aquarium has set up a baby registry. Fans can make donations to help purchase essential supplies to help care for Scout.
“Our team is thrilled to welcome another baby sloth to our Rain Forest habitat,” said Ken Howell, Curator of the Upland Tropical Rain Forest. “It is an honor to work with these incredible animals and inspire our guests to learn more about the ways they can protect them.”
Sloths have had a home at the aquarium since 2007. Linne’s Two-Toes Sloths can be found in the aquarium’s Upland Tropical Rainforest, an exhibit modeled after the species' native habitat—South American rain forests. These slow moving mammals spend almost their entire lives in the trees, sleeping up to 20 hours a day.

someone in the world is maimed or killed by a landmine every hour. apopo is a not for profit ngo that has spent the last twenty years developing and implementing “hero rats” to clear affected areas of their landmines - over 1500 in tanzania, where apopo is headquartered, 2,728 in mozambique, and 657 in thailand. there also ongoing operations in angola and cambodia.
rats are known to be amongst the most sensitive animals when it comes to smell, with more functional genes for their olfactory system than any other mammal. a rat’s nose is constantly active and moving, and is always close to ground where vapour concentrations are highest and wind speeds are lowest.
the african giant pouched rat, being highly sociable and native to sub saharan africa, is specifically trained to detect tnt and mine casing minerals. using a combination of click training and food rewarding that begins shortly after birth and lasts nine months, the rats are able to cover 100 square metres of land in 20 minutes - something a human would need an entire day to do.
weighing just over a kilogram, the rats are too light to set off a landmine, and not one has died from the work. apopo adheres to very strict animal welfare protocols, and the rats are treated with the greatest of care and attention, with most meeting their expected eight years of life.

Nicola Griffith on 'Hild,' a medieval novel with a bisexual protagonist - Gay Lesbian Bi Trans News Archive - Windy City Times
Windy City Times: You’ve written lesbian stories before but Hild is your first bisexual character. What has that been like?
Nicola Griffith: I’ve had some mentions online of people saying they’re pleased about having a bisexual character in a really well-written book. I think bisexuals are underrepresented in a realistic way. I think they’re overrepresented for the male gaze. But for actual bisexuals, I don’t think there’s enough representation at all.“Hild: A Novel” by Nicola Griffith — Set in seventh-century Anglo-Saxon England, during the early years of Christianity the book explores the young life of Hild, the future St. Hilda of Whitby, an actual seventh-century English girl.

Don’t wish death on your enemies. Wish geese on them. Wish thousands of geese into their life. Geese in their yard. Geese in their car. Geese in their workplace. Geese in their bed. Tiny geese in their hair. Geese in their food. JPEGs of angry geese overtaking their computer. Turn their whole family into geese. Awful hissy mean geese everywhere. A fate worse than death.

Bee Hotels for Solitary Bees
You may be wondering what bees need a hotel for, when they make their own hives. The truth is that many species of bees are solitary – the do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest. The main reason for this is because in these species every female is fertile and this would not make for comfortable communal living in a hive.
