thanks for the zooborns link mike. wish more of our posts had engaging stories like that little anteater (although i dont wish more of the baby animals almost died).
Um, do you really want to link to that Eschaton post? What a load of garbage, and frankly I expect better from your blog. "My proposal: let people hunt, but allow some armed felons to roam the woods, hunting the people." Seriously, that's what you're linking to? I don't exactly know your opinion on hunting, but advocating for the violent death of people enjoying a legal activity is not only beyond the pale, it's fucking stupid.
