Well, here it is! My marsupial "mouse".
Antechinus are not actually related to mice. They are just a very small relative of the kangaroo and koala.
Despite their cute appearance, they are darn feisty! A little antechinus can take down a chicken around five times its size, and eat it! The males also tend to die during a crazed mating season due to an overload of androgen.
These furry beasts are something else!
In the last hour we've had a dark storm roll in. So, the lighting isn't great for photographing the colour, but it's fine.

Human actions have led to the deaths of more than 100,000 Bornean orangutans since 1999, mainly for crop protection, bushmeat or the illegal wildlife trade.

For the first time in 15 years, researchers surveyed residents of Kalimantan, the Indonesian section of Borneo, to find out why people kill the great apes and whether conservation projects help protect them.

A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch πŸ˜†

I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.

This is a 440-pound heart from a blue whale, the largest known animal to ever exist. The heart was so large that technicians had to douse it in 1,000 gallons of formaldehyde. Read more about it here: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/painstaking-process-preserving-blue-whales-heart-180964038/

The media frenzy about shark bites is always over the top, given the very low risk, but this is a new one: the headline simply says "shark spotted near swimmers at Florida beach." In other words, the shark was swimming at home, bothering exactly no one. https://news.sky.com/video/shark-spotted-near-swimmers-at-florida-beach-12916154 #sharks #fish #animals #animalwelfare #animalrights

"The UK’s membership of a Pacific trade agreement will result in more deforestation overseas, endanger animal welfare and β€œmake a mockery” of the government’s environmental commitments, campaigners have said."

Unacceptable. Public pressure DOES help, I really believe, and the octopuses deserve that from us. "The farm in Spain's Canary Islands would raise about a million octopuses annually for food, according to confidential documents seen by the BBC." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64814781 #octopus #cephalopod #Spain #animalwelfare #animalrights #plantbased #animals


what a wonderful photo! Anybody who loves animals as much as he seems to, has my huge respect. Many #animals give unconditional love
