That’s a Pokemon for sure.

Best friend shaped

I name this a Yethroatie.

Yes

edit: forgive the stock watermarks, but check out their paws

What the fuck I NEED to pet it

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dude, remember the time you saw that honeybadger and said, I quote, "I will NOT go home without getting IN there!"

Maybe, ya know, just take it slow this time.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Man, that honeybadger did not. Give. A. Fuck.

This motherfucker's snackin' on bees and you're just gonna reach your arm in there?

[–] Akuji@leminal.space 19 points 3 months ago

Cute and equipped to boldly wreck your bum even though you're thrice their size. Yeah, that's a mustelidae 😅

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Creature: is like 50-75% yellow.

Scientists: its defining feature is its yellow throat.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Long legs for a mustelid. As if a stoat tried to become a cat.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 10 points 3 months ago

An adorable, and deadly combination

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That throat has serious scope-creep.

[–] HyonoKo@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

I admire its purity. A survivor...unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

That’s what I’m told

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Now we know its weak spot!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It has a gambling addiction.

[–] EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

When they said “Land of the Leopard” I had to check what they meant. I mean, faces are getting eaten here in the States and I had never heard of this thing before!

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I need someone to make me a sphere shaped capturing tool of sorts. Color theme doesn't matter. All that matters is that after capture, I can just toss said tool with said animal still inside, in a box and never interact with it again.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Donald Ducking it like a perv.
Get some pants!

Superb mittens tho.

So if that guy was going megafauna, you would get this.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This looks like something that got chucked through a time portal from the Permian period. My lizard brain says run but ape brain says pet

[–] GoodLuckToFriends 4 points 3 months ago

Lol, and here I thought it looked like something that got chucked into a field of freshly bloomed flowers. Just cover thyself in pollen, mammal, and return to my embrace.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Looks like it just got done with a marathon session going down on Big Bird.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 3 months ago

Ooooh... So martenizing is when you get turned into a stoat? 😲

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] GoodLuckToFriends 1 points 3 months ago

Was there ever any marten mentioned besides the pine marten with the red cloak in the martin the warrior book? I think there was one in the pearls of lutra, on the island kingdom?

Shoot, it's been so long I can't remember.
