Mickey Mouse kangaroo captured on camera for the first time

An "extraordinary" desert creature has been caught on camera for what scientists believe is the first time. The long-eared jerboa, a tiny nocturnal mammal that is dwarfed by its enormous ears, can be found in deserts in Mongolia and China. Zoological Society of London (ZSL) scientist Jonathan Baillie said was "ecstatic" to have tracked down the jerboas.
"These creatures hop just like a kangaroo; it is amazing to watch. Little hairs on their feet, almost like snow shoes, allow them to jump along the sand," he explained.
"And in terms of mammals, they have one of the biggest ear-to-body ratios out there. The long-eared jerboa is a bit like the Mickey Mouse of the desert, cute and comic in equal measure." There are two other videos here and here.

Kids At Christmas




A minister is visiting his children to celebrate Christmas. When he walks into the house, he sees a beautiful nativity set. His granddaughter walks up to him, and he asks her if she knows what it is. She replies, "Yes. . . it's breakable."
.
A mother asked her 3-year old son if he saw Santa Claus on Christmas Eve."No, it was too dark," he said."But I heard what he yelled when he stubbed his toe on the living room couch!"
.
I figured that at age seven it was inevitable for my son to begin having doubts about Santa Claus. Sure enough, one day he said,"Mom, I know something about Santa Claus the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy." Taking a deep breath, I asked him, "What is that?"He replied, "They're all nocturnal."
.
Christmas was fast approaching when mom reminded her 8-year old son that he would soon be visiting Santa Claus. He seemed unusually resistant to the idea."You do believe in Santa, don't you?"Mom asked her son. He thought hard, then said,"Yes, but I think this is the last year."
.
The Sunday after Christmas, the Sunday School teacher told her students about an angel appearing to Joseph in a dream, warning him about danger to the baby Jesus and telling him how to escape from it. After the story time, the students were given the opportunity to draw a picture about the story. Most of the pictures were predictable, but Larry's had an odd element to it. "Larry, I see Joseph and Mary and the baby Jesus on a donkey, but what is that following the donkey?""It's the flea, teacher," he replied."Flea...? Ah... what flea?" asked the teacher.To which the boy faithfully repeated the Bible verse,"Take Mary and Jesus and flea to Egypt." he said."There's Mary, there's Jesus and there's the flea."

Kids...


Christmas just wouldn't be the same without them!


Hoping you'll find the child in you this Christmas




Merry Christmas!
