“To the window! To the wall!” says the sea turtle.
I don’t know what the hell this is, but I respect its need to dance:

Monday Morning Cute: Animal Massaginists
If I don’t use the word I made up*, who will?
Here’s a dog who’s noticing an awful lot of tension in your back:

Even bunnies need to help each other loosen tight muscles:

It’s not just non-human animals that need to get the kinks worked out. Furries need some therapeutic touch now and then, too: Continue reading
Monday Morning Cute: Behold the Bee-ver
Today we have something that is both cute and punny.

I was hesitant to do a Google image search for “beaver,” let alone “cute beaver,” but I’m pretty sure Google knows more about what I’m looking for than I do at this point, so either that is already an entirely SFW search, or it took the liberty of filtering out the Urban Dictionary-approved results (you know what I mean.) So anyway, here are some more cute beavers: Continue reading
Monday Morning Cute: The Unconventional Friendship
Penny and Roo are “unconventional friends,” as Metapicture puts it.
Via metapicture.com
Penny is an “experimental chicken” whose program had ended, and Roo is a chihuahua born without fully-formed front legs and abandoned in a park. They became best buddies after their rescues at Duluth Animal Hospital.

I wasn’t sure what an “experimental chicken” was, and thought maybe Penny’s appearance is due to some sort of genetic splicing or something. She is actually a silkie chicken who just had the misfortune of ending up in a lab. I learned something about chicken breeds today.

If You Read Nothing Else About Sloths This Week…
![By Stefan Laube (Tauchgurke) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons](http://crypticphilosopher.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/450px-Bradypus-225x300.jpg "By Stefan Laube (Tauchgurke) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons")
…you need to read “The Mystery of the Sloth Poop” at Mental Floss.
Three-toed sloths leave their perches high up in the trees once a week, when they shimmy down to the ground to poop.
Two-toed sloths, meanwhile “prefer a ‘bombs away’ style of defecation,” just letting it drop.
By descending to the ground to take the kids to the pool, the three-toed sloth puts its life at catastrophic risk. Any random jaguar, or even a jaguarundi, that happened to be passing by would have an almost effortless meal. So why do it? Since three-toed sloths still exist, it obviously hasn’t proven fatal vis-à-vis natural selection, but it doesn’t seem like something they would do without a very good reason.
Scientists think they know what that reason is.
No, I’m not going to tell you. You have to go read the article. Sheesh.
