'Boop someone' day?

You obviously mean 'BITE someone' day.

Feat. the Lincoln Park Zoo lion littles, last spring.

Have some lion cubs from Lincoln Park Zoo last spring. Amazing to think these boys must be almost full-sized cats by now!

Their names are Pesho, Sidai, and Lomelok. Anyone able to ID who is who in the photos for me? They're pictured here with mother Zari and father Jabari.

I always love it when zoos choose to find culturally relevant names for their animals (aka not using babynames.com) and these boys are a lovely example of doing it right. According to the announcement by the zoo, "the cubs were named in partnership with several Ilchokuti (Ill-cho-koo-tee) or 'lion guardians' who are Maasai community members that work in Tanzania alongside Lincoln Park Zoo’s partner, KopeLion." They're named in the Maa language: "Pesho translates to an unexpected gift, while Sidai, means good like 'good food' or 'good lion' and Lomelok means sweet."

Have you seen the music video OK Go by White Knuckles? I didn't pay attention to the music's lyrics at all because it's FULL OF DOGS DOING REALLY COOL TRAINING TRICKS (there's a bit of nervous nose-licking, but overall the dogs seem to be having a lot of fun!) And a dog that barks to the beat of the music. If you haven't seen it I hope you like the cute dogs doing cute things!

Yes! I’m going to embed it here because everyone needs to see it and know the story behind it. The dogs were trained by the company Talented Animals, and as per OK Go normal, the video was shot in a single take. Which Talented Animals was... really not sure could actually be pulled off.

“[Talented Animals] explained to [Ok Go] that it was going to be the most difficult video with animals ever made, requiring 12 dogs and 12 trainers (and a goat) to be perfectly synchronized to pull through three minutes and thirty-six seconds of intense choreography between the canines and the four band members.We had 12 trainers, two furniture movers, 12 dogs, one goat, 38 buckets, and a bunch of furniture, all of which needed to move around and be in the right place at the right time without anyone stepping in front of camera.”

But after weeks of practice and 124 takes, the 72nd one was perfect.
