Pokédex: Despite their appearance, leaf sheep are not plants. They steal the chloroplasts of the algae they eat and use them to perform photosynthesis.

Somewhere in the box of this old house, my child-skin hangs quietly between the coats, shed: a parachute or bag full of red dirt & teeth.

Insects get a bad rep, we should really appreciate these little guys more. In the Náttúruval deck there are several well known invertebrates but there would have been way more if there was data in the categories we collected. Take the strawberry poison dart frog, no one knows how much it weighs. If you do please share with me.

"This earth of the dagger-toothed and hawks, whose names we know, taking bones for diamonds, full of hair & snakes, earth eating you, slowly, below the sound of gold horns."

The mink whale is a filter feeder and also her sister the blue whale. The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is in the Náttúruval deck with all her splendor, and outweighs every other animal. Now I'm curious to see if she's heavier than all the others combined.

some scenarios of Damian using "animal" terms in his life.

Damian, holding Alfred the Cat, exits the kitchen: Going to full hibernation mode now.

Jason and Tim look at each other with raised brows.

Dick and Duke are holding their laughter.

Cass just stares at him.

Damian: If anyone dares to disrupt me, well, I'm going to hold it against all of you.

Bruce, smiles: Rest well, son.

Alfred, stands up to start with the dishes: Well, I hope you enjoy your hibernation, Master Damian. You care to have some tea and biscuits first?

everyone waits for his answer.

Damian, rolls his eyes: I shall have some first then.

Robin! Damian, fights some criminals: The flock is coming for reinforcements so I suggest you stand down.

criminals continue to fight with him until Goliath and Superboy! Jon swoop down to knock down the men.

Robin! Damian, smirks: If only you were wise enough.

Superboy! Jon, approaches Damain for a hug: Hey, Little Mouse.

Robin! Damian, raising his katana, growls: I already told you to stop with the pet names, Superboy!

Superboy! Jon, raises his hands in surrender: I'm innocent!

Robin! Damian: And what type of absurdity is the nickname: Little Mouse????

Superboy! Jon, shrugs his shoulders: What do you prefer? Kitten?

Robin! Damian growls like an angry kitten.

Superboy! Jon, smirks: Exactly my point.

Tim enters the Batcave and starts to open his mouth to say something to Damian.

Damian, by the batcomputer: Why are you wriggling in here, Drake?

Tim: Uh.... To work?

Damian, rolls his eyes: If you become a nuisance, you better just crawl your way of here.

Jason, enters out of nowhere: Offensive, Dami! I am the only one who gets to crawl. Like crawl my way out of the grave type of situation.

Tim and Damian groan in sync.

Robin! Damian, paces back and forth in front of the tied rogues to make a point: Pack of vermin, you all are! Don't you ever, ever, ever harm the people of Gotham!

the rest of the batfamily stand behind him to observe what he's going to do next.

Robin! Damian: We're taking you back to Arkham so you can scuttle back inside your cells and learn your lessons.

Robin! Damian, looks back to his family: Anyone else want to say anything?

Nightwing: What he said.

Red Hood, Spoiler and Signal shrug.

Red Robin is too busy looking at his device.

Black Bat just stares ahead.

Batman, in his deep, heavy tone: Now, let's gallop our ways back to Arkham.

the batfamily and rogues all stare at Batman.
