Cats and rabbits can do well together. Dominant cats will groom the others, and dominant rabbits get groomed by the others. So the cat will groom the rabbit, and they will both believe that they are the dominant one.
The wording tells me it’s in the UK, and you can see that the squirrel is grey…
I don’t know about the current situation, but there were (and probably are) enough problems with grey squirrels in England that I’m not surprised that feeding them would be discouraged.
They’re bigger than the native red squirrels, steal their food, beat them up (okay maybe not really) and give them diseases, so they proliferate while the red ones disappear.
I’m not in favor of scurrilous lies… um… squirrelous lies? But if accusing them of crimes makes people stop feeding grey squirrels….
Fish skin has been used for a good part of this century in burn and other wound care… at first experimentally, but it’s more mainstream by now, especially in Brazil, and in countries where it’s a much cheaper alternative to conventional treatment.
I recently read that it was being tried on animals burned in the California wildfires.
A lot of it is talapia skin, a byproduct of the farms that grow talapia for consumption.
Yes, it helps, and may even make burns heal faster. It’s sometimes used as a temporary skin graft, which can stay in place as real skin grows over and absorbs it.
But the most important invention ever? I sense a bit of hyperbole in the above… Like maybe an ad for a product?
The orange rings at the top could be infrared heaters which warm the object before it, and not radiant heaters which would heat the pole and the air around it. Infrared heaters are more efficient in open spaces, you see them a lot in workshops that need to open their doors frequently, minimal wasted heat energy.
Norfolk and Western 611, also known as the “Spirit of Roanoke” and the “Queen of Steam”, is the only surviving example of Norfolk and Western’s (N&W) class J 4-8-4 type “Northern” streamlined steam locomotives. Built in May 1950 at N&W’s Roanoke (East End) Shops in Roanoke, Virginia, it was one of the last mainline passenger steam locomotives built in the United States and represents a pinnacle of American steam locomotive technology.
No. 611 hauled N&W’s premier passenger trains between Norfolk, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio; and ferried Southern Railway’s (SOU) passenger trains through the Blue Ridge Mountains between Monroe and Bristol, Virginia. Retired from revenue service in 1959, No. 611 was donated to the Roanoke City Council and put on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation (VMT), where it became the sole survivor of the 14 class J locomotives.
In 1982, No. 611 was restored to operation by N&W successor Norfolk Southern (NS). It became the mainline star of the railroad’s steam program, pulling excursion trains as far south as Florida, as far north as New York, and as far west as Illinois and Missouri. In late 1994, when liability insurance costs led NS to end its steam program, the locomotive was again retired and moved back to the VMT. In 2012, No. 611 was officially donated to the VMT.
Your’e looking for a cat (as happy³ intimated).
Its tail is just under the while dot.
Go Southeast from there, and you should easily find its ears and then the rest of it just jumps out.
The Eastern Rosella (Platycercus Eximius) is a parrot native and endemic to south-eastern Australia. It was first introduced to New Zealand in cages, which were then both intentionally released, and accidentally escaped, into the wild.
Exactly. Some would have been intentionally released, like the muppet who decided to release two dozen rabbits on his Australian estate to provide hunting and food. “They’re unlikely to cause any harm” (Famous last words).
Some would have managed to escape from their cages/aviaries and not have been recaptured.

Ginger brothers.
Bunny has such a long nose he looks like a fawn.
Except for, you know…. those ears. Which are also very long, even for a bunny.
BTW I thought my mind was playing tricks, seeing this in the comments when I’d already seen it up above.
Part jackrabbit?
Looks like it, but AFAIK jackrabbits are hares, and hares can neither breed with rabbits nor be domesticated.
There’s a breed of rabbit called the Belgian hare, that looks like a jackrabbit, but isn’t. A friend used to raise them, years ago… Maybe this is one?
I just don’t know whether they come in this color… Hers were big and grey with white tails and looked exactly like Peter Rabbit.
Cats and rabbits can do well together. Dominant cats will groom the others, and dominant rabbits get groomed by the others. So the cat will groom the rabbit, and they will both believe that they are the dominant one.

Cleo did it better!
I was going to post it, Nighthawks … but I wasn’t sure you’d want me to.
no guardrails
I shall not abuse that privilege.
He was a wonderful person.
For those who don’t know….
Yes… the sweet-faced little boy,
Equally sweet-faced young Cleo Clifford played the child in an upgrade.
Thank you, I wasn’t aware they were the same person.

Looks like AI, but it’s real.

Some things never change…
Sure it did… some years ago, they scrubbed it up, in a major Chicago cleaning campaign.

Wait! Does it come off? I wanted it to stay, because it looks like a fantastic tattoo! Now I have to go and get burned again!

Owwieee!
Don’t go out getting into any fights soon!

I gotta find the artist… BRB…
Okay yes… Charles Green, for the 1892 edition.
Wow, that Chinese bowl is so perfectly done.

You’d think Doggo would be snuggling up to the pole, not sitting several feet away.
Then again… maybe it beams the heat over a wider area? The snow doesn’t seem to be melted around its base.
The orange rings at the top could be infrared heaters which warm the object before it, and not radiant heaters which would heat the pole and the air around it. Infrared heaters are more efficient in open spaces, you see them a lot in workshops that need to open their doors frequently, minimal wasted heat energy.
If that’s 88C, it’s 190F. I’d stay a ways away, too.
Hopefully you’re joking!
They wouldn’t put something that reaches 190° on the street where people might bump into it.
Water heaters and appliances carry caution notices for much lower temps than that, and 140°F will burn your skin.
It could be a timer.
I have a problem with the image. It just doesn’t fit.
I’m not doubting that the dog warmers exist, i just don’t think it looks like that.
Found it!
Heck! If i was there i’d use them
I’m not sure I even believe the article… There are two different pictures of the poles, not alike at all…
And unless that Finnish city has no homeless people, there would be just as many people as dogs clustered around them, probably more.
Shoppers, too, actually, taking advantage for a few minutes.

Great white shark..

I was ready to think it wasn’t real.
Well, don’t go into the water next to it, just in case.
Just when you thought it was safe to read Cleo & Co. again…

I didn’t bother searching it, cos I knew you’d be along shortly… 😄

Someday he’s gonna fall overboard and Cindy is going to protect him from a giant octopus!
Not a shark attack?
I was trying to be believable…
,.
Got.
Yep.
Does the one in the upper right corner count?
Sigh…. Okay.
I did find what I think is probably the one they want…
The way I first saw it, I thought it was a fox.
In any case it has no spots, and looks more like a mountain lion, which makes more sense anyway, in a temperate forest with a deer.

Took a look at this “official answer”, it’s pretty lame for a puzzle; Susan is correct in her view.
And, like Alexi, I didn’t get it either…
I never saw it quite like that, especially not the lower part of the face.
Red outline is the puma/mountain lion, with green lower part instead, the fox I saw first.

?
Didn’t see it last night.
There is a kitten there.
OMG!
I was wondering why we were looking at a marble floor
And then I saw it!
Don’t step on it!
I’ve had several cats that blended in with the carpet…..
(Might have accidently trod on a few)
I kind of guessed that there would be one somewhere in the picture, and I managed to spot it almost straight away.
Do they call this breed a Marble Cat?
I get it.
Kiki disappears in every shadow,
Its tail is just under the while dot.
Go Southeast from there, and you should easily find its ears and then the rest of it just jumps out.
That Basset Gump poster is adorable!!!
A tour-de-force acting job for Ms. Cleo!
Stel and I had several conversations about this poster (at that time still in progress) and that tail and its shadow… LOL.

How do you rationalize “intentional released” and “accidentally escaped?
Some of each…. 2 separate incidents.
Exactly. Some would have been intentionally released, like the muppet who decided to release two dozen rabbits on his Australian estate to provide hunting and food. “They’re unlikely to cause any harm” (Famous last words).
Some would have managed to escape from their cages/aviaries and not have been recaptured.
Just a bunch of stuff I found interesting from today’s London “Daily Mail.
