Tiny, twin Black and Rufous Elephant Shrews were born around November 14 at ZOO Antwerpen.
Until recently, two of Zoo Antwerpen’s newest arrivals were safely tucked away in an underground burrow with mom and dad.
Tiny, twin Black and Rufous Elephant Shrews were born around November
14 and can now be seen exploring outside their den. Although they are
curious of their surroundings, they never stray far from mom, Guusje, or
dad, Olli.
Keeper Natalie said, “It’s a first for Zoo Antwerp because…with Blijdorp [Rotterdam Zoo], we are the only European zoo where Elephant Shrew have been born.”
The twins are currently under the care of their parents. Keepers will
allow the family to bond and will have little interaction with the
young. When they are old enough to be weaned and away from their mom and
dad, staff will examine them to determine their sex and give them
names, as well…

Yeah and never mind the fact that it REPRESENTS NOTHING. It isn’t representative of any actual resource of any amount of productive, useful work, it’s just fucking made up like video game money.
These are the sorts of noises cats use to communicate with each other. Hear how it’s soft and fairly high-pitched? The loud “meow” noises we’re used to as cat noises are the noises they came up with to communicate with us, we’re almost deaf compared to them. Those noises also tend to resemble human babies- we accidentally selected them for that by favoring the ‘cuter’ sounding ones, i.e. the baby-sounding ones.
