Dunnarts are the tiny warriors of the Australian outback
There are 10 species of Dunnart. This is the fat-tailed dunnart Sminthopsis crassicaudata
Although they're tiny and shy, they love fighting with deadly spiders!
Their favourite breakfast is a "juicy" scorpion, sting bitten off
They also love biting human fingers, the swines!
The dunnart breeding season is so intense ... lasting about 2 weeks ...
That afterwards the males die of exhaustion. A new generation replaces them!
Some idiot introduced the European Red Fox to Australia. This, and the common house cat, are hunting the poor little darlings almost to extinction.
WISHING Y'ALL A CHEERY WEEKEND.
IF IT CAN'T BE CHEERY THEN MAY IT BE PAINLESS.
IF NOT PAINLESS THEN MAY IT BE TOLERABLE.
TAKE CARE EVERYONE ;-)
You take care as well. I wish things were better for you at the moment. You have such a kind heart to love the animals. Maybe you will come to love yourself.
ReplyDeleteThose dunnarts are so darn cute standing up on their hind legs like that,never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
O thanskalot Bloggger for losing everything. OK ATTEMPT II....
ReplyDeleteSyd: animals I can love easily, animals love me. They don't judge me or my mannerisms or the rubbbish I talk or whether or not they I'm cool. They look on the heart. I'm far more comfortable with animals than the uptight manner of people.
Love myself? Hell with freeze over first!
Taffeta: what actually IS Taffeta? Of course I know the word but suspect we perhaps use a different term here in the UK.
Dunnarts are a rare Ausssie "rodent". A little like a meerkat in that they can fight scorpions and spiders and seem immune to venom. I respect that. That's why I use such little animals as my avatar. Not quite as dull and furry as they appear. If you've ever seen a hannny spend all night upside down "worrying" the bars till they come loose u'll see they ave unusual persistance and willpower, just like I have, when a bee gets in my bonnet to do something, Chinese cooking = good example.
I relate to the hamster bc lots of people think they are dopey etc, but those who keep them know they are particularly determinied when a bar is lose and they wanna get the hell out of there. On and on they nibble, till the cage pops off its base. Clever swines! Hence
my avatar!
Peace & luuuurve to y'all :-)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteDunnarts, Thanks for the intro!They are So Lovely, what a shame.
The Human race has done so much damage by moving animals where they don't belong.
You were right about exotic opiates appearing!
You wait for weeks then you get a lot show up at once, last night PJ brought home white powder that didn't need Vit-C and felt nice.
Also after a later mission, scored some "opium" which we just tried together in a crack pipe style arangement it tasted like gear and we were giggling like teenagers.
I'm not wasted, but I do feel much more comfortable (i.e. comforted and able)
Best Wishes to all,
And Similar Good Fortune,
CJ

ReplyDeleteHi Gleds - aren't they great little things ... got to feel sorry for the poor males. Mind, if there is life after this I bet there would be a few human males wanting to come back as a little dunnart male ;)
ReplyDeleteFoxes are bad news for the wild life here, shame because they are a beautiful looking animal. Humans! :( We had one in the garden the other morning at first light he was big, at first I thought it was a stray dog then I saw his tail.
Stay well and warm - any signs of snow in London? I know it has landed in Yorkshire and beyond already. Smiles to you*!*
found you looking for robo pictures - you have broken some of my steotypes of heroin addicts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you manage to work things out.
gledwood i reckon ur bein waaay too hard on urself mate. ur hurting an thats why ur using. the water/washing thing always gets me wen i dont have loads of gear, u not alone there. ur a clever guy and u just need real help. methadone aint the rite way we know that. wen i was first with my partner he had an injectable nhs script - this kept him and therefore me away from dealers and dirty gear. picked up twice a week so had 2 decent hits and the green for the rest of the week. we got jobs we had routine. it WORKED. if we were given injectables now life woud be much MUCH easier for all of us and i dont believe more expensive for them!!!
ReplyDeletehang on to the good things gledwood - u rite well, u aint stupid and a lot of peeps admire u.
hope u get to feelin a bit more at ease soon. big hugzzz luv doopsy xxxxx haha verify word is baaced!
