4 Amazingly Cute Animals To Think About More Often

In This Article:

Think of your favorite animal. Is it a mollusk? Maybe you are imagining a nematode. But you are probably a zoology-deficient plebian who selected the banal "cat" or "dogfish." There is nothing wring with you, but it's time to blow your mind!

Beavers

Beavers look like otters with huge tails, but they are so much more than what we give them credit for. Before humans started developing the process of irrigation, beavers were already out creating iconic bodies of water. They used to be considered fashionable accessories, but they are in truth nature's most proficient engineers. They are about the size of a small dog, and just as adorable. The most interesting thing about them, however, is that they are a keystone species. If they die, we'll die too.

Worms

They live where we all want to live: the dirt. What is more legendary than that? Who doesn't want to live in a hole? Not worms, and certainly not people.

Naked Mole Rat

One must wonder why it is specified that this animal is naked, when in reality, most animals are naked ona daily basis. Perhaps, in the past, naked mole rats wore clothes. They frequently sleep in large groups underground, in complex networks of holes. Indeed, this makes them that much better than worms, if that is at all possible.

Pangolin

Pangolins are a mystery to us all...what hides behind their beady little eyes?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
