I just got back from visiting Yellowstone National Park and if you ever have the chance to go you better take it. The scenery is breathtaking and there's critters everywhere. I saw my first ever bear in the wild, along with a host of elk, pronghorns, mule deer, and buffalo. And I hand fed a raven one of those Nature Valley granola bars. He was working the parking lot trying to pick up scraps when he bounced over to my car. I gave him a couple of pieces and with each one I got him closer and closer until finally I just held my hand out. He would fill his beak, take his bounty to somewhere I couldn't see, then fly back and continue to peck at my hand. I know they tell you not to feed the animals but I was pretty sure that a) he couldn't hurt me that badly and b) take me to forest jail if you must because it was too tempting to resist. Will forest jail accept your bail money in pine cones?
I did not see any critters of the Horrible Adorables variety while I was there, but I will see some in a few days at New York Comic Con, more specifically at the PIQ! booth #745. Gaze upon these wondrous beasts and bring home some animal friendly taxidermy to spruce up your living space.
