Do you know how honored we were? I mean, if owls and small mammals can team up, maybe we can all come together! Have a wonderful day!

Saw this neat little critter in a post from the Dept of the Interior. I've never heard of it before, but it's cute and has some special talents.

Meet North America's tiniest rabbit: the pygmy rabbit.

Tiny but tenacious, these little hoppers are the only rabbits in North America that dig their own burrows. They thrive in dense sagebrush out West, which not only shelters them but also makes up most of their diet.

Unlike pikas, pygmy rabbits don't store food and must forage daily. They're also surprisingly agile, sometimes climbing several feet into sagebrush-an unexpected sight for anyone expecting to find them on the ground!

I saw this post and article, and thought about how I never looked up what a packrat looks like:

Turns out that there are a few species under the term, and at least one of them fits the attributes of tan eggs!

It's true. Thousands of tan egg enjoyers agree! Just look at you, you magnificent thing, you!

You're doing a great job, and I'm glad you're here, whoever you are!

It's a high-risk maneuver being so cute. Stay positive, you!

I'm gonna keep fighting today. I send you strength to do the same. We got this together!

Bad name puns aside, we all need love. So here's some love! <3
