A few days ago, we found a tiny kitten on the street after it… Valentina Markus needs your support for Help Save a Little Kitten’s Life Afte

I recently came across an injured cat that clearly needed help. I know some of you may not want to see pictures like this, but as an animal lover, I couldn’t just walk away without doing something.

Please help by sharing this post — awareness can make a big difference. If you care about animals too, let’s try to get this little one the help it deserves. 💔🐾

It's here!!! Wild platinum European red fox. Lighting is terrible today so these are the best pics I could get. Will take some better ones outside when it's not raining.

This fox is my holy grail. I have been obsessed with these wild platinum foxes since I saw a photo of one in 2011. I've always wanted the chance to examine one up close so getting this beauty is very exciting. The fur on it is so interesting. It has the coarse texture of a European fox but with slightly longer guard hairs and a thick woolly undercoat like a farmed American red fox (NARF). You can definitely tell that it's a European x NARF hybrid!

Hybrids are becoming more common in the UK and parts of Europe. In the past this was the result of farm foxes escaping/being released, but more recently it's due to pet NARFs that escape/are abandoned and breed with the native wild foxes. Some of these foxes are direct hybrids, but many are the result of hybridisation many generations back. Here's some more examples of wild platinum foxes from the UK:

What's also interesting is that she has the fawn spots on the ears commonly seen in European foxes. The exact cause of these spots is unknown, but this strongly suggests it's a distinct white spotting pattern.

Since you’re taking submissions still, I’d like to also submit my previous foster kitten, Jason. I was so ready to adopt him but the shelter basically stole him from me (long story). Yes he had folded ears but as far as I know he was found on the street with regular looking kittens so not sure where he got it from.

This doesn't seem to be the same thing folded eared breeds have, but i'm not exactly an expert here. Maybe not even something genetic?

Sometimes the Warner's gloveless hands are white like their feet (like Rita the cat) and sometimes they are black like the rest of their arms. What could explain this inconsistency?

There is even a picture of Rita with hands grey like the rest of her arms, but her white hands are much more consistent.

I have to say, I don't know of any instance where the Warners' hands appear white. Every example I know of where they show their hands, they are black.

I'm not doubting you, but I just can't really comment about this if I don't know what we're dealing with. If you have any examples to share, please show/tell me!

I see! I was only thinking about when they're in their normal forms. That's my mistake.

There could be two things going on here. If the Warners control what they look like when they transform, which I think they probably do, then it could be them choosing for their hands to be white sometimes. Considering they wear gloves all the time, maybe that's just how they've come to see themselves by default. They think of their hands as white even if they know their real color underneath. Maybe they don't like that their hands are black for some reason.

The other possibility is the same as the real world explanation- the in-universe animators chose to make the Warners look like that to keep their white glove look even when they're not wearing white gloves. We have seen the Warners mention and interact with animators in the show before, which means that they are aware that their appearance changes based on how they're drawn. However, it isn't clear if the animators they know of are the actual real world animators, or animators that only exist inside the world of Animaniacs. In Yakko Amakko, for instance, when Yakko pulls the animator in, he isn't interacting with the real life animator of the show. He's interacting with a fictional animator who is herself animated. It's kind of confusing. Perhaps, in the universe of the show, animators do have power to change the appearance of toons in real time. Or perhaps they are just referring to the real animators.

Most cartoon characters are based on real animals, but the Warners aren't. What would the hypothetical animal the Warners are based on look like if it was a real thing? Would its hands (front paws) be white? When an animal like a cat or dog has white back paws, they usually have white front paws as well. But I don't think this is 100% always the case. The Warners have another strange asymmetry relating to their hands and feet- they have three toes, but four fingers. I'm not sure this is the case on any real world animal. So, maybe the difference in color between their hands and feet is a result of them being mishmashed, strange hybrids of several different species. The black hands come from one, the white feet came from another. But, in any case, I like the Warners' design the way it is.

A Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! Yakko, Wakko, Dot and their Pilgrim pal Miles Standish from the "Turkey Jerky" episode of "Animaniacs

I found another Rita hand coloring error, in which her hands are grey. Do you do headcanons on other Animaniacs characters (Pinky and The Brain, Slappy and Skippy, Goodfeathers, Rita and Runt, Chicken Boo, Hip Hippos, Buttons and Mindy, e.t.c.)?
