We woke up on the wild side today.

Waking up on the wild side means we feel energetic, goofy, and just a little bit crazy. And that means one thing - we set out on a mission to encounter as much wildlife as we can during this mundane day. The rest of society might be experiencing the midweek slump, but not here - we're going to make sure to surround ourselves with all the wildlings of the animal kingdom to make this day much more interesting.

When we woke up in the morning, we looked outside the window to see some birds screaming at the top of their lungs. They're just wild like that. After we went out to start the morning commute, we stopped to see some confused squirrels in the park. After that, we just saw a random tiger in the street. Why was he there? We have no clue. Maybe we're a wild Disney princess, summoning all wildlife to us on a whim (or a song). And finally, after that wild big cat experience, we finally reached the office to start another day of work, and we came to a realization…

We were the wildling all along. We are the wild animal we want to be. We set the course of our life in a weird, wild, and wonderful way - just like a wild animal would. A ferocious feline in the forest, a sarcastic shark in the sea, a bonkers bird above the sky - they all chart their course. And so do we.

  • “I eat like a bird”, but the bird you're eating like is a pelican. “I jump like a frog", but the frog you jump like is a pumpkin toadlet. “I roar like a feline”, but the feline you roar like is a domestic shorthair. “I see like a nightly creature”, but the nightly creature you see as in a bat.

    If tigers are so dangerous, then explain this.
    via @wholesome-animal-images

  • If tigers are so friend-shaped, why aren't they friends? It's impawssible to resist pspspsing them over to come get some pets, chin scritches, and yummy cat treats. Just like “C'mere kitty kitty”!

    So... I've found a birb tha looks like a tiny dragon.
    via @wholesome-animal-images

  • Dragons are real - confirmed. And no, they are not the komodo dragon, despite their names. Meet the great eared nightjar - the bird that proves even a feathered fellow like them can be a mythical creature. The bird is found all throughout South and Southeast Asia, making the people's life there more fairytale-y than in other parts of the planet. They can also breathe fire… probably.
