My pony is a little hoarse.

mugsofpugs:

Hi! I love seeing mugs of pugs pop up on my Tumblr feed. They’re so cute. :)

I don’t know if you ever put up pictures of products, but I just made this cute tiny pug totem in my new line of totems called “doodles”. Doodles are itty bitty handmade clay animals measuring approx. 1”. I’ve been inspired by your blog and love doing different portraits of pugs when I get the chance!

animals-animals-animals: Patagonian Mara. The Mara is a large rodent in the family caviidae. These large relatives of guinea pigs are common in the Patagonian steppes of Argentina but live in other areas of South America as well such as Paraguay. Maras are the fourth largest rodent in the world, after capybaras, beavers, and porcupines, reaching about 45cm in height. There are two species of maras recognised, the Patagonian Mara (Dolichotis patagonum) shown above, and the Chacoan Mara (Dolichotis salinicola). Maras have stocky bodies, three sharp-clawed digits on the hind feet, and four digits of the forefeet. Maras have been described as resembling long-legged rabbits. Maras may amble, hop in a rabbit-like fashion, gallop, or bounce on all fours. They have been known to leap up to 1.8m and the Patagonian Mara can run at speeds up to 29km per hour. More Maras can be found here. (photo by M Kuhn; info via wikipedia)
