Lots of people ask if the animals have to be transferred for the winter season in Milwaukee. But the truth is, they are way more suited for this weather than we are. They eat more in the Fall so they can grow a nice thick layer of blubber. California sea lions can be found all the way up to the coast of Alaska. The water is heated to a balmy 55F. Sounds cold? Well, that’s the natural temp of west coast waters. And it’s warmer than the air temp in Wisconsin during the winter. But because these animals are spoiled they also have multiple rooms with various enrichment and heat lamps and they can choose to be in which ever space they want. Here they are basking under the heat lamp.

11/2 Today Goofus the Peacock killed a mouse and instead of eating it right away, decided to wander around the pasture carrying it in his beak. The feral cats always appreciate dead-rodent-based performance art, so they followed behind Goofus single file to make a Very Exciting Dead Rodent Parade.

At one point Goofus stopped and put down his rodent and one of the feral cats dared to sniff at it, and Goofus unleashed The Most Terrifying Honk, something along the lines of I WILL END YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND YOUR BONES WILL BE FORGOTTEN ON THE FROZEN EARTH WHEN I SNUFF OUT THE SUN AND SING THE STARS TO DARKNESS I AM THE DEVOURER AND DESTROYER OF ALL THINGS

The feral cats, previously unaware that the Death Of The Universe And End Of All Things is currently living as a peacock, ran off at about fifty miles an hour and hid under the barn for the rest of the day. They didn’t even come out at milking time to beg for goat milk, which is a first.

We probably should not have named the Death Of The Universe And The End Of All Things “Goofus,” actually.

Are you kidding that’s the Prefect name for The Death Of The Universe And End Of All Things.
