Looks like he's training them.
"Now spin"
we all spin
Piri & tommy, on and on and on and on
I always look at stories like these with such joy and love for the world, but it's just occurred to me that we're an animal that befriends other animals all the time. The world has so much joy and love and whimsy; my heart is full of love and my soul is lighter than a feather. Billions must by happy.
I love your positivism and hope my brain chemicals would do more of the same as yours.
The Zoloft has certainly helped !! I love my medication that makes me not anxious all the time :D
This looks like something from a Jim Henson movie 😊
The orangutan is a warlock teaching spells!
Definitely!
Or the end of Hail Mary.
Ook!
I want an otter army too.
"Ok, settle down class. Let's begin today's lesson."

These stories make me so sad. Look how social these animals are. Why are they allowed to be locked up??
Their habitat got destroyed
We could learn a thing or two from other animals. Treat eachother with some respect and dignity instead of like objects.
And people think animals don't have the same capacities as humans...and then there's this. Yet, we're the ones trying to destroy the planet. Not so smart after all.
Our ignorance, sometimes proud ignorance, will be our undoing..
Yup, treating the Earth like a disposable trash can is probably the stupidest thing we've done as a species.
The sequel to "the secret of nimh" looking pretty good
