tinysaurus-rex:

aquaristlifeforme:

All four otters on our first of four snow days. Tahoe has never seen snow before, he is the one in the back of the video not sure if he wants to step on it or not. Baxter, Ryer, and Shasta are the ones going crazy. We bring in the 2000lbs of snow bucket by bucket in the morning before we put them on exhibit.

these ferrets are Slippery

I rescued this tiny lizard from the dog pool yesterday and it sat in my hand for a while trying to warm up before I released it.

This is a skink! One of my favorite groups of lizards. You can tell because it has tiny legs, and a fairly tall body that’s almost square from a cross-section. Some skinks even have legs so small that they wriggle like snakes instead of walking on their legs.
