A smiling white woman with braided pigtails is taking a selfie with a tapir. It is lifting it’s nose towards the camera to show teeth and tongue and is just ridiculous.
Two baby capybara in a firehose hammock in the shade. One is napping and the other is grooming itself.
A Gif from the movie My Neighbor Totoro. A young girl and two small totoros stand next to a garden patch. She is actively willing seedlings to grow, and the totoros are watching.
A green square with white text reading: You are now forced to have the same job as the main character in the last book you read. What is the job?
Two young bobcats snooze on a rock. The one on the left has her tongue hanging out.
Two American badgers are wrestling. One lies on the ground with his belly up and his nose toward the camera, while the second badger sits behind the first. The second badger's front feet are in the first one's belly hair, as if tickling him, and the first badger's four legs are all straight up in the air as if playfully resisting.
