I’ve discussed this before but, unfortunately, in the time we live in now there’s always going to be someone who takes something in media the wrong way.
It’s an unfortunate side-effect of ‘Fake Deep Culture’ when people want to be media critics but they know that no one will take them seriously unless they give copious sprinklings of words like ‘racist’, ‘sexist’, and ‘problematic’.
Just create what you want. That’s the greatest justice you can do for yourself.
These are great items because they’re fun for the herbivores to each, the carnivores to tear apart, and everybody to roll and throw around. They’re tactile, olfactory, and edible enrichment all in one!
I believe they’re acceptable on-exhibit enrichment for naturalistic facilities like Brookfield in Chicago, too.
I think of this time of year as Tumblr’s Annual Pumpkining of the Animals Post.
The bat though!
This is the best thing!
Our local pumpkin farm gives any unsold pumpkins to the zoo!
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) – they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
