An eyeball and earhole pleasing underwater macro short filmed at the Lambeh Straits in Indonesia, of which photographer Kay Burn Lim sez:
Most of the creatures shown ranged from the size of a grain of rice to perhaps 2 inches at most. (With the exception of the moray eel and puffer fish). The red “Orang Utan” crab displaying monkey like behaviour was actually residing in a Coca Cola bottle cap. The yellow hairy shrimp after that was barely 4mm tall!

And if these whet your appetite, you might like their ongoing gallery of food gifs at Buttery Planet.
Om. And furthermore, nom.

Rare pictures from 2014 of the sadly endangered Ili Pika.
Part rabbit, part adorable rock-climbing teddy-bear, it lives in the Tian Shan mountains of China and was originally discovered in 1983 by conservationist Li Weidong.
Its numbers have dwindled alarmingly since then.

Was walking to work [yesterday] morning through the grounds of IMMA and took a couple of pictures. Eerie ! Also got a threatening look off the guy on the bike for thinking out loud (due to having headphones in) and saying “f#%*ing prick on yer bike” after he passed me and ruined my humanless shot.
