1 week update for Echidna:
She's settling into her quarantine enclosure nicely. She's had her first meal already and I'm giving it 1 more week before I begin the process of working with her.

This is Kathari, the new echnida puggle at the Adelaide zoo!!
echidnas are just little guys
Echnidas from real life are just little guys!
There are two competing theories as to why the Australian echidna is named the way it is
One is that the mother of monsters from Greek mythology, Echidna, was a woman with the lower body of a snake, giving her both mammalian and reptilian features. The Australian echidna is an egg laying mammal, and was the seen by Europeans as having mammalian and reptilian traits.
The alternate theory is that it is a result of linguistic / etymological corruption or confusion from the Greek word ekhînos, which means "spiky", or "hedgehog"
Cool, thanks.
Echnida: LITTLE GODLING. YOU DARE TO ENTER MY CAVE AND- wait, what are you doing?
Hades, picking up baby!Cerberus: This is mine now.
Echnida:
Echnida: No? No, he's not!
Hades: His name is Cerberus and he is my dog.
Echnida: His name is not Cerberus and he is not your dog! He's not even a dog!
Hades, vanishing into the shadows: Thanks for the dog!
Echnida: HE'S NOT A DOG!
Ok but Echnida in episode 3???? The prototype of the white, middle class, middle aged woman who calls the police on a group of children where two of them are people of colour?
And these lines????
She is so fricking scary and unsettling because she’s so REAL! She’s just your regular conservative, racist, local Karen, but with a murder-chihuahua.

Buzzfeed's at it again, with 22 of the Cutest Baby Animals You've Never Heard Of. Trust me, no matter what kind of day you're having, even if (hypothetically) you have PMS and were at the office until 11:30 last night, this will make everything better.
My favs, if you're too lazy to click over to the full post (or maybe you're so happy already you don't need a dose of baby animal? If so, take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and admit that's ridiculous and impossible): the baby gundi (or comb rat) from northern Africa; an echinda from Australia, whose babies are for real called PUGGLES; and a little baby dik dik, aka tiny african antelope. I would so not mind working late if I had one of those guys helping me sort through my email. No, I would still mind working late. I'd rather be at home with my dik dik, feasting on grapes and artisan vegan cheeses and seeing who won the race to my lap, cat or antelope.
