An albino miniature aquatic turtle!
A baby Kookaburra makin noises

The other day I saw something I’ve never seen before- a Sandhill crane who was missing an eye.
This beauty is still able to carry on with normal crane life, visualized here with her guarding and feeding her very cute little chicks.
Her other eye is normal and functioning, and it seems her mate is happy to keep watch of her blind side for her.
Sandhill cranes mate for life so I hope this pair is able to raise many healthy colts together throughout the years. They seemed a lovely couple.
Rating:Cute!
I have never experienced as much abject excitement as this baby emu is experiencing over this cat toy. This is also a really good video of good stress! This baby is so excited (stimulated-excited but in a good, pleasant way) it can barely handle it, and you can also see that it does not want the ball to touch its feet, and runs around/away when it is overwhelmed by the existence and proximity of this ball. It doesn’t know what it is, and it is learning, and if I may say so… having a ball doing so! This is great supervised enrichment for the little one (wouldn’t recommend leaving the bird alone with it, as it might be small enough to eat)!
Emus are increasingly becoming a commonly kept farm bird, and do well being hand raised indoors like this. My understanding from those who keep them in my communities is that the males especially benefit from this, and remain sweet into adulthood.

love that for 100 years people have looked at these beasts and thought “heehee what if the big one wore the little one like a hat”
