THE BLUE-FOOTED FOOL











IMAGES VIA GOOGLE


NEMO, WHERE YOU GETTING THOSE KICKS FROM, HAVE YOU BEEN DY-EN THEM?
birds, ok was gonna make this another fashion post but c'mon do we need another? anyway i was at barnes n'nobles the other day, while my friend was reading about the great cat massacre of the 1800s-really cat massacre- i decided to do a drive-by in the animal section-which by the way is like only one wall..wtf b&n? lets just say that 2 hours later me and birds specifically of the tropical hemisphere have become acquainted.

and now for the interesting shit portion of the post:
named after the spanish name bobo, meaning "stupid or fool" these boobies got their name for being so darn clumsy on land, probably always drunk as a result of their year round mirage habitat. you can see them chillin on the galapagos islands, or in ecuador. and as if their lives aren't interesting enough, they have excellent binocular vision for checking out the hunnies on the shore. also from the picture we can see that they are very flexible- i wanna see u be able to touch ur nose to your stomach. males and females can be distinguished by the color of their kicks, pale turquoise-more generally seen on the gents, and flashy deep aquamarine on the ladies- how fitting.

  7. hey thanks! drawing in paint isn't that hard, just you've got to be patient because it can take even 5 hours (then my fingers die, because i've got laptop with touchpad ;p )

    i love the first photo so much, i'd like to have it in my room on the wall, guess i'm going to print it ;)

    love,
    D

  15. Those blue-footed boobies are so adorable! Would be really nice to go to Galapagos to see them in person. Which, btw, I just heard they are now controlling the number of tourists going there because of pollution. Translation: it'll probably be super difficult (and not to mention expensive) to go there now..

    Lovely blog!
