This is Sarah the walrus. She lives at a zoo in Istanbul, Turkey. She's become a minor celebrity of late, due to her ability to "play" the alto saxophone.

And now, for a song about a bukket...
The following was posted today on Haha.nu, a "lifestyle blogzine." I figured I had to share it.

A Different Kind of Panda
Rachel sent me this link to a picture, saying "I know there's already a panda up there, but I'm betting you don't have a red panda!" Well she's right.. so let's change that. Red pandas don't get nearly enough love as it is!



How cute is it that they stand on two feet like that? They will do that when they feel threatened in order to try and make themselves seem more imposing. Red pandas are actually closely related to skunks and raccoons, unlike the Great Panda which is classed as a type of bear. They're found in regions of Southern Asia, and eat mostly bamboo. Red pandas are currently considered an endangered species by the UN due to loss of habitat due to deforestation; they are poached for their fur, which is considered to be good luck.
Famous red pandas include Master Shifu in the fantastic Dreamworks film Kung Fu Panda, voiced by Dustin Hoffman.

Some Cute From My Own Life
This gorgeous specimen of dog is my very own pit bull, Emma. When browsing Petcetera several months ago, I found this dog toy that looked like a mini Em, and I had to get it for her.

Emma knows it as 'baby', and she is often found snuggling it happily.
