Pawsome Scribbles

Hello, everyone.  The Glasswing Butterfly and I have decided to make a new page for you: Pawsome Scribbles.  In other words, drawing of the week.  So we'd be happy if you could send in a pawsome scribble to this email adress: amazinganimalssociety@gmail.com.  And here we have it, the first Pawsome Scribble ever to be created:

The Blobfish

The Glasswing Butterfly

Now that the Blobfish has gone and deleted my previous post on Glasswing Butterflies (boo to Blobfishes!) I shall have to reorganize my argument all over again. Anyway, the Blobfish was probably just jealous of how amazing the Glasswing Butterfly is. And here are the arguments for it:
The Glasswing Butterfly only inhabits areas in Panama. It's barely visible, the ultimate camouflage by Mother Nature. Invisible. I hope I can see one of them one day. By now, I'll expect you will have searched it up on Google, and seen them on the internet. At least, I hope you have.
You better have, because I am NOT going on a wild goose chase through Creative Commons to find a picture of a Glasswing Butterfly.
Anyway, back to arguing with a pixellated screen.
They are totally amazing. Yes, delicate, yes, pretty, yes, cliched, but still pretty amazing. They are a daily reminder for me of the wonders Nature can achieve and thus our responsibility to protect those wonders.

The Blobfish

     Ok guys.  One of the things that you all are probably going to notice that we keep ending our posts with things like 'The Glasswing Butterfly' or 'The Blobfish' etc. These are the society's members' titles.  What I'm trying to  share with you is my title 'The Blobfish.' The first thing you should be doing right now is googling it. Google 'blobfish.' But since I know that the entire human race is EXTREMELY lazy, I'll do it for you, like the good blobfish I am.  Here's what a blobfish looks like:

     Now, why did I choose the Blobfish?  Not only do they have an awesome poker face and are super chubby, but... yes you guessed it (just kidding, humans aren't that smart) they are ugly!  Yes, they are ugly!  I want an ugly animal, because I want everyone to stop focusing on just the pretty animals.  Come on, what's so great about a fragile butterfly when a blobfish can make millions of girls puke (and a handful of boys too).  And did you guys ever think that maybe blobfish think that HUMANS are the ugly ones!  It's possible.
     So, I'm posting this to tell all of you guys out there that you should support ugly and creepy animals as much as pretty animals.

The Lepidoptera Philes

So this is going to be part of a series on my ongoing obsession with butterflies to highlight the amount wildlife there is in Singapore. 'Lepidoptera' is the scientific name for butterfly, for those not in the know. I regularly go out on butterfly expeditions, armed only with my camera and a butterfly field guide to find as many of these winged beauties as possible. I might descend into technical terms at times though so please bear with me then.
Butterflies forever!

Help!

Let's just start by putting it out there: Planet Earth is in a huge mess.
I mean, with disappearing rainforests, vanishing coral reefs, melting ice caps, there's really not much to look forward to in the near future. Unless we fix it. And guess who gets handed the duty? Oh, yes.
Us.
It's really not fair, but there's nothing we can do about it. Because it's our generation that's going to be in charge, that has to make the big decisions. Yippee. So we decided we might as well start making a change now. And we decided to make a change with animals, because they're going to suffer the most as humanity blunders along trying to keep itself alive.
I'm sorry if I've depressed you thoroughly. But as far as I can see (which is not very far at all) we are stuck in a big mess. All we're trying to do is clean it up a bit. So that's why the Amazing Animals Society was formed. Because animals are amazing, and they deserve to be saved. Despite the official sounding name, all we are are a bunch of kids who have got together, who all want to do something. Oh god. I sound so pretentious. But really that's it. Are we dreaming too big? Very likely. But who can stop the flow of hope? That's the only thing that can't be taken away. Please follow this blog, and help us along our journey.
Thanks!
The Amazing Animals Society
