If you haven't heard of quokkas, now you have! They're so cute!! There were quite a few facts about them I wanted to include, but there's only so much space; here's an honorary fact about quokkas: These little inhabitants of Rottnest Island and Bald Island in Western Australia are from the same family as kangaroos and wallabies known as Macropodidae. They move around like their cousins by hopping and bounding with their small feet and short tails. Because they’re marsupials, the mothers also carry baby quokkas, known as joeys, in little pouches!

Hey there! It's Toucan Tuesday, and we're diving into some cool Raven facts today! Did you know that the Common Raven is quite the acrobat in the sky? 🕊️ They love doing fancy moves like rolls and somersaults while flying. One daring bird even showed off by flying upside down for over half a mile! 🤸‍♂️ And get this, young Ravens are playful little things - they enjoy playing games with sticks, dropping them and then swooping down to catch them midair. How cute is that? 🌟

Have you ever seen a Toucan without its beak? Look it up- their heads are teeny tiny without them! Anyway, did you know that male and female toucans are colored the same? There's no way to tell the difference at a distance, and this is due to them being extremely social and not prioritizing the aesthetic over the relationship with one another. Also, look up a sleeping toucan- you're welcome 💙
