Although the lightness in colouration of the cub in this particular photograph did lead even myself to suspect at first that it was a snow leopard cub (Panthera uncia - which technically, technically, is NOT a leopard), it is in fact a regular leopard cub - a North China leopard cub (Panthera pardus japonensis), to be precise.

fireflyinthesky: birdandmoon: Like so many biology geeks, I grew up with David Attenborough documentaries. This comic includes a shout-out to some Attenborough favorites, including the critically endangered Panamanian Golden “Waving” Frog.  The original comic is over here! Love love love love! Fuck Yeah, David Attenborough!!! Haha, this is awesome! Is it wrong that I randomly love this cartoon even more now that I’ve noticed Dave’s got a nice glass of wine on the go!?!

Suck it.) then you seriously need to consider a heart and humour transplant. Coz it’s OH-SO-FUTE!!! Pffft, bear stuffs… haha….

Feel Good Friday: Life’s All Worthwhile, If You Just Smile… It’s worth remembering that when it comes to nature, sometimes you need to stop attributing names to it and asking questions about it and just sit back, relax, and smile at it. So here’s ten little things to help you do just that this Friday. Oh, and the lyrics of one little song. See if you’re not humming it to yourself all day now (Ha Ha!)… Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it’s breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That’s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what’s the use of crying? You’ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile                                              - John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons

Smile though your heart is aching 
Smile even though it’s breaking 
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by 
If you smile through your fear and sorrow 
Smile and maybe tomorrow 
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you 

Light up your face with gladness 
Hide every trace of sadness 
Although a tear may be ever so near 
That’s the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what’s the use of crying? 
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile
