“When the moon fell in love with the sun, all was golden in the sky, all was golden when the day met the night.”
This week, Busch Gardens Tampa is celebrating a milestone anniversary for a very special relationship. Monday, April 16 marked the one-year anniversary of the first time park guests got to see an 8-week-old male cheetah cub and a 16-week-old female yellow Labrador puppy start to strike up a friendship that the park’s animal experts expect to last a lifetime.
AWWWWWWWWWW
OH GOD MY HEART

“Plenty of caterpillars use camouflage to protect them against predators until they pupate, but the Camouflaged Looper remains unique. While other caterpillars are naturally camouflaged to match the types of plants their parents laid their eggs on or change their colors based on diet or location, the looper makes its own disguise.
It will actually pluck petals from the flower of the plant it’s munching on, then affix those petals to its back with silk. As the petals start to wilt and discolor, the critter will replace them with new petals. After their pupal stage, the caterpillar emerges as a gorgeous Wavy-lined Emerald Moth.” Pretty awesome!
