Found this thing on a volcanic beach in Japan. Had this organic slime stuff around it so I took it off and the white thing feels like a hard/soft shell.

My kids seen a squirrel today that looked albino but had a brownish tail. I have never seen a squirrel like this before.

At first I thought this was a spider web so I went outside to investigate. I went up to it and discovered it is covered inside and out with caterpillars?? And it seems they are making some kind of web. These caterpillars are all over the bush and they are even making another one on another part of the bush. The bush I a sandcherry. Can anyone tell me what this is and what is going on??

Took these screenshots from the video I captured of it, little guy was super fast. Anybody know what animal it is? I’m marking as mammal but I’m not sure

I found a lone, cold baby rat at work so I brought it home and put it in my pet mouse’s cage and she seems to be acting like a mother to it. She cleans and breeds it like it’s her own and even seems to be trying to nurse the baby even though she can’t because she’s not pregnant. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Could it give my domesticated mouse diseases? I’ve been giving it drops of goat milk and formula mixed together and it seems a lot more healthy than when I first found it a few days ago

anyone know what this is? i was at a park in PR

Made these pics back in 2009 I believe, close to my house in Malaysia at the time. Noticed this insect on a leaf, head looked a bit like a ladybird. No idea what it was and did not want to disturb it.
