So, Mammal of the Year 2024 in Hungary is the wildcat, in case anyone was interested 😄

It reminds me of a favorite folktale of mine from Austria, about a boy given the name Wildcat by a mysterious godfather who lives in the woods and rides a giant black cat. 😄 Which I think is infinitely cooler than a fairy godmother.

Kiddo loves playing this game she came up with for my #UnusualAnimalMessages card deck, so I thought I'd share it with you all 😄 We draw two cards and she picks the one she likes better. Through a process of elimination, we get The Best Animal at the end. Results vary every time 😄

So, just for giggles, Imma post two cards a day and you can vote 😄 Poll in the toot below.

First up: Tardigrade vs Sea cucumber!
1/26

They started dropping hints about the Mammal of the Year 2024 (Hungary does this every year). People can try to guess what it is.
So far we know it's a nocturnal predator that hides in bushes and rocks, mostly eats fresh meat, and has retractable claws. Also it occurs in most of Europe and Africa.
I have my guess, what's yours?

I am researching a Tabwa myth about aardvarks that tunnel between our world and the otherworld.

Out: going "down a rabbit hole" for research

In: going "into the aardvark tunnels" for research

Sounds much better doesn't it

The kiddo used my #AdventCalendar animal cards in a single elimination game to determine her favorite. Apparently, it's the pistol shrimp. The potoo was a close second. Now to see if a challenger emerges from the next pockets.

(Also I'm pretty sure she chose shrimp because her dad is Cajun and she sees it as yummy. 😅 )

When you take your alpaca to the dog salon.

Photo of a dark brown alpaca with a whit face and black nose. The head of the alpaca is left long-haired and fuzzy while the rest of the animal is shorn. This makes the head look comically large, and the whole animal kind of resembles a poodle.

Over on Tumblr there's this tradition called Wet Beast Wednesday. Will it work here?

I'll start: This is a weird dog in a bathtub.

With flowers.

The kid has a browsing book with animals in different kinds of habitats. While browsing, I started singing little folk songs for bunnies and squirrels and the like.

So now she thinks Mama has a song for every creature under the sun. She doesn't even care what the song is, but we gotta sing for each and every one of them.

This, your honor, is how ended up singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. GIANT ANTEATER at bedtime, thank you.
😆

(And Boogie Wonderland for the penguins.....)
