Anything and everything about non-human animals.

Rules:

  1. Posts should be relevant to non-human animals, including articles (news or just interesting facts), pictures (OC only but the animals need not be your pets), or text posts.
  2. Keep things civil. Don't insult other users or their pets. Do not post content that promotes animal abuse (this does not include content, like news, that portrays abuse in a negative light).
  3. Follow site-wide rules

A baby mantis I found cleaning the office at my old job.

It was placed in a safer location.

I caught a baby water snake like that, once. Water snakes are particularly "honery" sneks. It was hilarious as he reared back and sank his teeth into my thumb and started tearing back and fourth to try and rip it off. His lil teeth and mouth were so small I literally couldn't feel it. Much less could he break the skin, but oh man was the lil guy trying his best.
