From The Telegraph: “Hugo the giant Galapagos tortoise gives a ride to an Indian star tortoise at the Australian Reptile Park, New South Wales, Australia. Picture: Rex Features.” Thanks to Arne, who added, “If not a ‘Headline This,’ then at least a ‘Mom Taxi.'” Good CALL, Arne!
Yesterday, Vin The Pony snapped his own selfie…and today comes word that this Heffalump did the same thing, grabbing this fellow’s GoPro! Quoting the Yahoo! News Canada story, “I was taking photos and feeding the elephant bananas until I ran out of bananas and the elephant grabbed my GoPro while the camera was set to ‘timelapse,’” Christian LeBlanc wrote to Global News in an email. “This allowed the camera continuous shooting and enabled it to take the ‘elphie’!”
Stacy M. found this one!

[I’m BEGGIN’ ya. Just another hour. Me and the cat were up ’til three this morning playing strip poker. Let’s just say ONE of us is missing their collar.]

This little guy is named “Dilly” and just showed up one day in this woman’s backyard. According to the video, “Dilly is usually left to himself so that he doesn’t become too dependent, but user ‘TYarber37′ makes sure he always has plenty of water and leads him to bugs. He looks for her now when he hears her voice.”
[What is this clear magical thing? It rises up out of nowhere and I can’t stop it! MUST…HOLD…ON….]
Can someone get this guy a tiny bottle of Mrs. Butterworth’s?

Me: Northbound “L” train Thursday evening, trying to work on laptop. You: Two seats ahead, staring at me in distracting way. I moved to different compartment, you followed and kept staring.

Some sites say it’s today, other sites say it’s tomorrow! Hmmm, looks like it varies from city to city. Whatever, Porkey decided to roll ’em today- but no helmet?

Scout is clearly having a good dream- the scritches at the end are just a bonus!

Photographer Ty Foster has created a photo series called “Timeout.”
The photos are meant to convey the emotion felt when a puppeh has to wear The Cone Of Shame.
I’d say he captured it pretty well. The cat (featured photo above) seems to enjoy it all, too. Imagine that.
As seen on Design Taxi.
It seems that the staff at a German zoo was doing a spring inventory- making sure everyone is where they were supposed to be. OK, fine.
And then….along came Kevin The Porcupine- (not named Kevin at the time)- he wasn’t supposed to be ANYWHERE. Daily Mail has the BREAKING NEWS.
Thanks to Karen F.!
