Abused, Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Mr Mickey the Baby Hippopotamus.
As you remember, some time back
when Mickey was a little puppy we
almost lost him. He was very sick
and stayed with us 4 some time.
We took him to the dog clinic
about every other day then
every third day until he
regained his health.
The nuns were so excited to see him
again there was tears in their eyes ;-)
And I want to remind you that it was
through your support and donations
that Mickey's healthy & with us today.
Another small slice of jungle life ;-)-
Thank You.

Giant Pill Millipede (I think Zoosphaerium neptunus), Madagascar. These look like huge pillbugs or "roly-polies," but aren't related to them -- pillbugs are crustaceans (related to crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, etc.), but pill millipedes are "myriapods," the group containing millipedes and centipedes. The fact that both critters roll up tight to defend themselves is an interesting example of convergent evolution -- when two animals that are not very closely related evolve similar traits in response to similar environmental pressures. Science aside, they're completely harmless, and kinda cute.

Visited my daughter yesterday. She lives in a rural area of Crowley and I find cool stuff at her house I don't see in Dallas county. My 9 year old grandson Everett walked around with me looking for critters. We found this cutie in a flowerbed in front of the house. I believe the frog was after the numerous pill bugs crawling in the damp debris. Closest I've ever been able to get to one of these frogs.

So I usually photograph the shelf above my computer when it's tidy, but I thought I would show how messy it becomes inbetween! I am going to tidy it and fill the blank space with pictures soon, but have pulled a muscle in my chest and am off work, so can only look at the mess and tut to myself :D
In sight.

The coat, pants and boots are Bloodlust from Toksik. More info on Toksik products here.
The ship is The Black Sparrow, from BLACKSPOT and The Crow’s Nest. You can rezz and checkout their AMAZING designs here.
The pose I used was a really NICE one, from Serena Seetra, called “Setting Sail.” It came with the spyglass that I’m holding, along with a fantastic info card. Check out her Marketplace store here. For Harper, we made a pose ourselves that fit. I’m sure she would give you the pose, if you asked her.

This was the second of three angles/scenes that Harper and I did, after seeing the fantastic ships at The Crow’s Nest. Well... that… and because we spent a ton of money on “pirate outfit shopping splurges” that we needed to justify. lol
I listened to a 4 hour playlist and got lost in editing this. And love the process of that. It’s surreal.

I like themes that get you of the couch and i love the woods! Also have a softspot for things with legs and eyes and antenna's;p I'll put the woodlouse in a spotlight today bc i think he/she deserves it. In Holland we call them "pissebed" (not a charming name), they're also called
"armadillo bug"
"boat-builder"
"butcher boy"
"carpenter"
"cafner"
"cheeselog"
"cheesy bobs" (fav)
"chiggy pig"
"doodlebug" (also used for the larva of an antlion)
"gramersow"
"granny grey"
"pill bug"

Anyone who knows more?

(Armadillidium vulgare)
Los oniscídeos (Oniscidea) son un suborden de crustáceos isópodos terrestres con unas 3.000 especies descritas.
Tienen un exoesqueleto rígido, segmentado y calcáreo, y poseen siete pares de patas.
También se las conoce como
Pueden llegar a confundirse con diplópodos (miriápodos), de morfología externa similar, aunque para diferenciarlos basta con ver cuántas patas se observan a cada lado de un segmento externo.
Si se ve sólo una pata, el animal será un crustáceo, y si se ven dos pares, entonces será un diplópodo.
Necesitan ambiente húmedo, ya que respiran por branquias.
Es habitual encontrarlas en lugares húmedos y oscuros, como debajo de piedras o troncos.
Son en general animales nocturnos, y se alimentan de detritus, como restos vegetales, aunque pueden llegar a convertirse en una plaga en los jardines.
Algunas especies tienen la capacidad de enrollarse sobre sí mismas, formando una bola cuando se sienten amenazadas.
Su exoesqueleto presenta una forma de acordeón que les facilita este enrollamiento.
Son los únicos crustáceos con desarrollo directo, es decir, sin fase de larva.
Esto se debe a su vida en tierra firme, que les impide tener hábitos reproductores que necesiten condiciones más húmedas.
La hembra puede mantener los huevos fecundados dentro de su cuerpo.
Una prole rosácea sale de ella cuando ha encontrado el lugar idóneo.
Sin embargo, y a diferencia de otros grupos de artrópodos terrestres como insectos y miriápodos, estos animales conservan un sistema excretor de tipo crustáceo, lo que les obliga a excretar urea en lugar de ácido úrico, con la consiguiente pérdida de agua.

This was 6 months in the making, and the editing was probably just as long. lol
The ship wheel was substituted by one from Gloucester Ship Wheels, then green screened in.
Thank you to Harper for being so patient. =P
Prickly saltwort or Roly Poly (salsola australis) at Perry Sandhills, Wentworth , NSW.
According to geologists, the Perry Sandhills originated after
an ice age (40,000 years ago) and are formed by wind erosion over thousands of years. The dunes are located just outside of Wentworth (6km from PO), and are a unique land formation of 333 hectares (822 acres) of continuously shifting sand dunes.
Skeleton remains of giant mega-fauna (kangaroos, lions, emus and wombats) have been found there. Replicas of these animals are now on show at the Pioneer Museum in Wentworth. Aboriginal tribes used this area to camp and hunt. Evidence of this is still being uncovered as the sands drift.

Isopoda Checklist: Pillbugs & Sowbugs
Pillbugs, sowbugs, roly-polies and woodlice, collectively referred to as isopods, are land-dwelling crustaceans that feed mainly on decaying organic matter, especially rotting wood and leaves. Pillbugs can roll into a tight ball or a pill — an ability called conglobation. Sowbugs, on the other hand, cannot conglobate and would have a pair of tail-like appendages (uropods) that project out from the rear end of their body.
Read more at Isopoda Checklist: Pillbugs & Sowbugs and Isopod.Site
"A woodlouse (plural woodlice) is a crustacean from the monophyletic suborder Oniscidea within the isopods. This name is descriptive of their being found in old wood."
They sometimes curl up in a defensive manner when threatened.
Hard to identify a clear winner in this group, because I love all of them. My current toy 'crush' is the Fluffy House Naughty Rabbit. Previous toy crushes include Kinderino and Miffy.
Parents take their kids to the park not so much to meet and greet but to show them off.
