25. Pangolins - HAPPY WORLD PANGOLIN DAY!! these are pretty much my favorite animal! the most trafficked mammal, these little guys need all the love. they are the only mammal with full scales, their tongue is as long as their body, and they are kinda like an anteater and an armadillo in one animal. Their name comes from the Malay word 'pengguiling", which roughly translates to 'something that rolls up'. I just love them so much!! I even have a 3d printed pangolin!

The Leaf Kitsune

The Leaf Kitsune is a true herald of the autumn season, embodying the changing colors and foliage that this part of the year is so known for. The fox-like creature is often followed by a gentle fluttering of leaves, even in otherwise still air. These leaves may continue to flutter in the creature’s wake, making this a popular method of tracking the otherwise hard-to-spot kitsune. Fallen leaves will often temporarily stick to the kitsune’s plush fur, giving the animal an overly innocent look for its not-so-sweet demeanor. As autumn reaches its peak and the leaves change even more drastically, the fur color found on the leaf kitsune changes as well. As this transition happens, the kitsune will mainly attract leaves that match its fur color. 

This isn’t the leaf kitsune’s only captivating feature, as it is the creature’s tails that make it a true kitsune. These tails are usually seen in a set of three, often differentiated by tints and shades. And yet, there have been sightings of these creatures with up to nine tails cascading behind them, floating in the breeze. Old beliefs once said that the creature magically multiplied its tail - and frankly, it wouldn’t be the strangest thing that these foxes have been known for. The truth is, this is the work of illusion over magic. The fur on the leaf kitsune’s tail is so fine and plush that, when tails are held together, the fur layers combine and appear to be one. When the leaf kitsune encounters a being of interest, it will shake out its tails to display all nine, waving them in an almost hypnotic fashion.

Between the fluttering leaves, the seemingly weightless tails, and the almost otherworldly grace that the leaf kitsune carries itself with, watching this creature can be a captivating experience. One must take care to keep their distance, though, or else they may come back into focus only to find themselves far off from their intended path.

The entire 3-minute city ambiance scene from Ghost in the Shell (1995) is already one of the best moments in all of cinema imo, but I NEED to talk about my absolute favorite part from it:

That brief moment when Major Kusanagi and a stranger with her exact same body model catch a glance at one another. How quickly the initial curiosity of seeing the doppelgänger turns into a feeling of unease as the boat carries her away.

She will never meet this stranger. She'll never know anything about her other than the simple reminder that every piece of her cybernetic body is not unique to her. There is no part of her other than her brain and all its memories that she has any true ownership of, and even that isn't immune to being hacked and potentially erased by outside forces. Despite being a part of a bustling city, all she can do is reflect on how utterly isolated she feels as a living being.

How can she possibly define her humanity when she herself is confined in the form of what is essentially a highly modified weapon? How can she relate to others when she has more in common with the mannequins on display in a shopping mall than with the any of the people walking the streets?

All of this inner turmoil at one’s own existence conveyed without a SINGLE word of dialogue spoken. Now that's the power of cinema if I've ever seen it!

These are one of if not my favorite animals. A weird fact about them is that they eat bones like 80-90% of their diet is just straight up bone. They will often ignore the meat on a carcass and just pick at the bones
