Horses! and pets/animals other than cats and dogs
I went out to fill the bird feeder and found what I believe is a baby opossum on the ground under it, then I found two more under the kitchen window. Their eyes aren't even open yet. WTF am I supposed to do with 3 baby opossums? I have 3 cats that would make short work of all of them, 4 if you count Whiskers the cat who seems to have taken up residence in the workshop.
I called a friend who works at the National Zoo in DC and he gave me a number to call but she can't take animals not in her vicinity but she gave me another number to call and I've left a message. Meanwhile I've ordered an eye dropper to try and feed them with, it will be here tomorrow. I tried a syringe but it just goes everywhere, not enough control.

Cute little bugger, those groundhogs.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

That’s why prey animals often live in herds or family groups.

Spotless giraffe, thought to be only one in world, born at Tennessee zoo
Brights zoo hopes publicity around unnamed female, who lacks distinctive patches, will draw attention to plight of giraffes in wild

One of the rarest sights in the animal kingdom has appeared in the unlikely setting of a Tennessee zoo, which has hosted the birth of what is thought to be the world’s only singularly colored giraffe.
The female giraffe, born on 31 July, is a uniform brown color, lacking the distinctive patched pattern that giraffes – along with their exceptionally long necks – are known for. Brights zoo said the giraffe is already 6ft tall and is under the care of her mother and zoo staff.
The zoo believes the giraffe is one of a kind, given that giraffes are very rarely born without their mottled appearance, which primarily serves as a form of camouflage in the wild.
The skin under the spots also has a system of blood vessels that allows giraffes to release heat through the center of each patch, providing a form of thermal regulation.
Each giraffe – apart from the Tennessee newcomer – has a unique pattern of patches, with researchers believing that these patterns are inherited from their mothers.
Brights zoo said it hoped the unusual birth would help highlight the challenges faced by giraffes in the world. The world’s tallest animal is threatened by the fragmentation of its habitat in Africa, as well as from illicit poaching.

On my porch, there was a cicada that was on its back and appeared to be flapping away trying to turn over or just fly away. It would get almost over, and at one point I think it was, but then would flip back over on its back and flap furiously. It made it to its side and sort of stopped then rolled back and must have been tired because it just laid there.
Feel sorry for the poor thing, I gave it a light tap to get it turned over and off it went.
I did my good deed for something today.
