The Department of Impossible Cuteness is considering taking early retirement because they aren’t sure anything will ever be able to top these photos of a green anole lizard sweetly sleeping curled up inside the petals of a rose.
This awesome blossom was picked by the daughter of Texas-based Imgur user Cmycherrytree:
“My daughter picked me a rose. We got a surprise when we went to smell it. It looked so cozy and peaceful we couldn’t bear to disturb it. As long as I live I will probably never see this again.”
the demons in my head: cat.(ding ) I’m a kitty cat. and I dance dance dance.
me: what year am I in

[Gif is a photo of a cat, posed so that it looks like its standing. The photo is reversed back and forth, which makes the cat look like its hopping from foot to foot. It ends with a close up of the cat’s top half, and its eye is photoshopped to wink. The gif’s text reads,
Of all of the species in the genus Uroplatus, U. lineatus is by far one of the most unique of the group. They’re one of the largest Uroplatus, reaching a total length of 10-11". U. lineatus primarily inhabits the tropical and bamboo forests in eastern Madagascar.
That is so cool! Do they eventually migrate into the water in part because of the massive weight of their shells? So their surface area allows the water to help support them and their poor knees?
Also do they travel? Or do they root themselves in place? They’re so cool!!!!
yes!! the ocean lessens their heavy load. Furthermore, they seem to enjoy seeing new places but by the time they’ve reached maturity they move so slowly you can hardly tell they’re moving. this not only conserves energy but also gives the biome on their shells time to adapt to different temperatures!
That’s so cool! And they all probably have different ecosystems and local fauna on their backs too, I’m guessing? So no two living islands are alike!
very much so. In an isolated case, one fully matured (and particularly strong) island never set foot in the water, deciding instead to remain on dry land. All reports say she still roams the desert today! (which desert, however, manages to remain a closely guarded secret)
This is so cool!!!!!
[Images show creatures with a roughly tortoise-like appearance. Their heads and tails are quite close, but legs are slightly longer and straighter. Instead of shells, their backs and heads are covered with plants.
The first is labeled, ‘Living Island – One year old baby.’ It is beside a 6′0 human silhouette for scale, and it’s head is about even with the human’s. It is covered with grass/moss, flowers and mushrooms. Two saplings have sprouted, and butterflies flutter around it.
The second is labeled, ‘25 years old juvenile.’ The 6′0 human is approximately a quarter of its height. 3 small evergreens and piles of rocks decorate its back. Some bracket fungi have sprouted from its neck. (Those are the mushrooms that grow on tree trunks.) Moss or vines hang from its tail, legs, and sides.
The third is labeled, ‘Adult – 500 years.’ It has taken up residence in the water, and its toes look like long splayed roots. A small house is visible on its surface, and it has multiple large hills. A whole forest has grown, and a beach has developed along the visible side. Birds fly above the forest. Some of the vegetation floats around it on the water, and some has sunk into long streamers under it. Of its head, only the end of its beak is visible under the plants.
The final image, in one of the followup posts, shows a lighter coloured island. It’s head is bare, and clouds have gathered around its skull and a mountain on its back. It seems to be travelling through a desert. There’s an oasis on it’s back, and possibly a tiny house beside it? Something brightly coloured but indistinct, anyways. The island is so big that it’s hard to see if trees grow on it, but it looks more like grass and other sparse vegetation? One of the clouds is raining.
no, there’s no nurse shark, the big boy is a whale shark! different species 0:
Darn it! I had to read this twice, because my brain insists that those are IDENTICAL words. Which is ridiculous!
My brain is pretty good at organizing data, but when it makes a mistake, it doubles down on it. It is UTTERLY SURE that ‘2′s and ‘e’s are the same thing; that all personal names can be used at random; and apparently that ‘nurse shark’ and ‘whale shark’ are equivalent.
It’s the last few seconds that really got me crying from laughing so hard!
[Video shows a bearded dragon on a hardwood floor. The lizard is bobbing their head and their neck is dark – both signs of aggression. They keep trying to race across the floor and attack, but their claws slip on the hardwood. The claws make a loud “skitter skitter skitter” sound as the lizard’s legs wildly move, but they slip and slide forward slowly.
When they get too far, the camera operator grabs them and returns them to their starting place, saying “No.” This happens several times, and causes the camera operator to laugh.
A final scene show the first lizard skittering towards another bearded dragon, who’s also acting aggressive. First lizard finally gets on top of the second to attack, and the person lifts them off, saying, “Hey hey hey, uh uh.”
