Attention Whale Weekly fans: I saw some people that thought “white whales” were fictional but they are Not, and I’m not just talking about belugas. Albinism and leucistism has been recorded in over 20 species of cetacean! The most famous albino whale is a humpback named Migaloo. Look at this large impressive man!

There are also two more albino humpbacks alive currently, including a baby that we think may be Migaloo’s spawn.

There are also multiple albino orcas and dolphins, some in captivity and some in the wild.

And we recently found a white sperm whale. Just a lil baby. Look at the small man;

A teeny tiny Moby Dick. He will grow into a legendary beast someday just like his famous predecessor. I can feel it.

Coyote finds old dog toy, acts like a puppy A photographer spotted a coyote as it trotted into her yard and explored a toy left in the snow. What she managed to capture on camera is the beauty of play.

Personal fav - so spherical

they are a perfectly shaped being

I have to assume that in the fullness of time, at least once, a mouse has used a mushroom as an umbrella.

That’s enough to keep me going.

moose are fucked up big and nothing will ever prepare you for it

What??? The fuck????

[Start ID: a picture of a moose walking through traffic, it is bigger and taller than the cars. /End ID.]

The little directional nose and skinny legs get me. What a horrifying little charmer. I like him well.

Waow taht is a creachur

that is one of the most animals

well that certainly is a Thing

Well, It's That

If I saw one of these in a sci-fi or fantasy movie I would just accept them as a made up part of the fantasy without question. The possibility of them being a real thing would never even enter my head

good news! it's real and it's a black and rufous elephant shrew and it's god's gift to your dashboard

Tumblr should use these as loading images. They have a way better colour gradient.
