Always lovely to see how universal the experience of getting a very unwilling and strong minded toddler into the car seat can be.

this is the Phoenix zoo, she's got plenty of outdoor space 👍

I'll also say she looks super healthy and happy in that video so she probably loves her cool concrete room #myconkrete

It feels cool to be "in" on celebrity gossip before anyone else. I ran into Californian Condor V9 and looked her up on the condor lookup website. It says her current mate is dead and she has no kids but I saw her with a new man AND a juvenile.

Remember: toe beans are the sign of a killer.

[prokopetz]

Funnily enough, I’m not 100% joking. While many animals have paw pads, the particular kind of soft, squishy beans found on housecats are an adaptation for stealth. Squishy beans mean you’re looking at an ambush predator.
