Paswome Scribbles: Dwarf Chameleon

Okay your probably thinking, 'Dwarf Chameleon',  obviously this thing is a shortie.  And guess what? You are right.  In fact, the Dwarf Chameleon 'Brookesia Minima' is one of the top ten smallest animals in the whole world! Their minuscule sizes have even been known to measure only half of an inch.  This chameleon has a flat head, triangular plates above its eyes, and its entire body is covered with scales, just like any other chameleon.
Blobfish OUT.

And the Winner is...

BLOBFISH!!! Recently, the British Science Festival in Newcastle announced blobfish to to be the ugliest creatures on the face of the earth.  Isn't it wonderful? Now just look at this beautiful description of the blobfish that Ms. Victoria Gill from BBC news gave:
'The grumpy-looking, gelatinous blobfish has won a public vote to become the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.'
Not only is the Blobfish famous, but it is now the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society!  Many thanks to the UAPS from my fellow Blobfish friends.  In the big vote, the Blobfish topped some other extremely unsightly animals such as the proboscis monkey, the pig-nosed turtle (that's a pretty tough title to beat) and the amphibian well known as the scrotum frog.  To be more precise, the Blobfish won by over 10,00 votes.  Just think about it, 10,000 votes!  Hopefully, such an announcement will draw more attention to the Preservation and safety of unsightly animals.
As the Blobfish won the Ugly Animal Vote, it has also become the Ugly Animals Society mascot.  Now, I know for a fact that the Ugly Animals Preservation Society is not a very well known group of people, surprisingly, this is the first time I've ever even heard of them! I know, the Blobfish, the mighty Blobfish, hasn't known that the UAPS existed for the past 12 years! I have been living underneath a rock.  But I would like to advise YOU, the reader, to take a look at the UAPS (Ugly Animal Preservation Society) by checking out their website- http://uglyanimalsoc.com/

Also, I know that I have not been posting very frequently lately (this is for you, Glasswing Butterfly)- I, the Blobfish, pledge my allegiance to the Amazing Animals Society, that I will hereby from now on post at least once a week and keep up with the Pawsome Scribbles.  Are you happy now, Glasswing Butterfly?

Still waiting for your promise to come true- Glasswing Butterfly

SNAKE!!!!!!

Point blank, I'm terrified of snakes. Living in Singapore, it's a more valid fear to have, as they are everywhere, and I am terrified of finding one in an awkward location, like under my bed.
Which might explain why, today, after seeing one calmly sitting on a post I had dropped my bag and ran straight for the house. Easy explanation? No. You ignore my naturalist instinct, which right then was in a fierce fight with the 'run for your life' one. So you might be a little more surprised when I came sprinting back towards the snake with a camera around my neck. This snake was playing it cool, flicking its head back and forth, almost like it was bobbing to a song blasting through its headphones. Its slender green body curled around the stone post, and it was watched in eager and horrified fascination by a helper and a toddler, as well as my brother the Cheetah (who has yet to publish his long-suffering guest post). My brother was just waiting for someone to come and kill it. Me? I, despite my terrification (that should be a word) of snakes, I didn't want it to die. It had a kind of horrible beauty to it as it swayed in the wind.

To be fair, I have no idea what snake this is.

 I moved around for a better angle and it chose that moment to go away. Of course. No snake would like me. The security guard and I listened for tell-tale rustlings in the leaves and trees but there was nothing other than the wind- or was it?

Post #50

It's hard to believe, but this is our fiftieth post. Our half-century. Wow.
I'll admit it, before there was another fiftieth post about a snake spotting of mine. I've un-published it. Pretend it didn't exist. It was a mistake. Don't worry, anonymous people in cyberspace, you'll still get that post, just as 51st. Understood? You'd better have.
But our fiftieth post we want to do something special. A celebration! So we've decided to do.... a Pawsome Scribbles. You'll be introduced to my fantastic drawing skills (yeah, right) and the Emu's patented technique of circles and sticks.
So, here it is:
