Time to change our diets? So many listed their Favorite Thing as "eating small rodents."
All are adorable, but the crocodile and the lamb ate my favorites <3
I think happiness is all about wonder. We call it other things sometimes: anticipation or thankfulness or enthusiasm or exuberance. But really if we keep & nourish the sense of wonder all creatures are born with we could all be happy.
everyone is so cute makes me smile.
Wonderful, thank you.
Hmm. It seems to me that the thing a lot of these animals have in common is that they love to eat rodents. Is there something in that?
No, probably not. =]
Wonderful!
