Kids are rewatching the first episode of Pokemon. And here's me thinking the cage fighting animals are the nastiest things about this world.

My eldest kid is obsessed with venomous snakes. When we were driving through Tasmania recently, we stopped for a breather and I went and did a mini iNaturalist bioblitz at the side of the carpark. Saw this Tiger Snake. Remained my son's favourite animal sighting for the entire 3 month trip.

Orbweavers are so damn gorgeous, we saw so many on our last trip to Australia. My wife used to find spiders horrifying but even she had to admit that this one was pretty spectacular.

I have never seen an animal that so perfectly encapsulates the phrase "mate come over here and say that to my face".

Got this creep in January and in return for lots of water it's taken up a good 75% of my office window. Rude.
