Ocelots to Organic Farming

BABY OCELOTS ARE SO DARN CUTE. Just look at them. Look at those cute little eyes. Look at that one snuggling up on the blanket in the corner. Look at the other one stickin' his paw out and looking up at you. Ohmygod they're adorable. Don't you just want to take one home and sit it on your lap and pet it 'til its just a big ball of purr and cuddle with it and watch it sleep and take pictures of it and send it to all your friends and family?

No, you don't. Because while they may be the most adorable thing I've seen since I googled "lobster baby" and found that picture of the chubby little baby in a lobster costume sitting in a bucket (please google it, it'll make you so happy), these cute little ocelot kittehs are actually going to grow up to be vicious, deer-eating, urine-spraying (get that image out of your head now, I dare you), nocturnal hell-raisers. Sure, during the day these cats look all harmless sitting up there in those jungle trees, but at night they turn into predatorial killing machines. Kind of like Batman. Ocelots are like the Batmen of South American jungles.

Ocelots pretty much only live in Central and South America, which is also where the Amazon rainforest lives. In addition to housing some of the world's most incredibly colorful animals, the Amazon rainforest is one of the many rainforests of the world that is being slowly destroyed by loggers and industries and tourism. Rainforests are great for lots of reasons, which is why there are all these hippies out there who want to save them from being destroyed.

Hippies like to spend their time trying to save things like rainforests, the environment, energy, and, by the smell of it, themselves from showering. Hippies are also the biggest supporters these days of organic farming. According to my dear friend who was raised by hippies and therefore knows way too much about all this, organic farming is great because you can use all your scrap organic material waste and compost it in a worm bin which then creates bio organic shit that you can put BACK into your plants. Fun stuff!

I wanted to add some photos to this blog to make things a little more fun, so here's a picture of that terrifying bird-thing from the planet earth special about rainforests:
