It’s a little known fact about cloud leopards that each one has a tickle spot – an area on their body that when tickled can completely incapacitate the giant cat. In the video above, representatives from the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, WA demonstrate on a cub this non-lethal and completely humane way to absolutely delight these majestic beasts.
Cockatiel Unsuccessfully Wears Makeup for First Time
Azizu, a cockatiel from Britain’s West End, has been trying to find a mate for 6 months. She’s tried everything: single’s bars, meetups, blind dates, online dating – nothing has worked. That’s when a friend suggested recently that maybe her appearance could use an upgrade. So Azizu went out last weekend wearing makeup for the first time in her life.
According to friends, however, the new look didn’t go over so well with the other birds. Perhaps it was the Pikachu-esque amount of blush or perhaps it just wasn’t her night. Whatever the reason, Azizu struck out big time.
[Ed. note: Relax, that’s not actually makeup, it’s the birds natural coloring plus an Instagram filter.]

Local Pup Desperately Needs a Bath
Cambria, a Yorkie-Maltese mix (or “Morkie,” as the kids say) is in dire need of a cleaning, according to reports out of her hometown. The pup apparently found a mud puddle and “went to town,” said one witness.
“She’ll definitely be taking a bath,” said bystander Chuck Philips. “But, you know, even spattered in muck, she’s still quite cute. Isn’t she? Who’s a dirty puppy…? Who’s a dirty… yes, you are… yes you are! I’m sorry, what were we talking about?”
