Aardwolves at the Nashville Zoo

Aardwolves are among the most elusive animals on earth, rarely seen in the wild and almost unheard of in U.S. zoos. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome two pups that guests can meet beginning Friday, Sept. 5 in the nursery at our HCA Healthcare Veterinary Center. These 14-week-old pups were born at Safari Wild Animal Park & Preserve in Mississippi and came to Nashville Zoo for specialized care. Our team is nationally recognized for raising rare carnivores, having successfully cared for more than 45 clouded leopard cubs over the past 30 years. That same expertise is now helping us provide the care these unique pups need to thrive. So, what exactly is an aardwolf? These nocturnal animals are the smallest members of the hyena family, marked by striking stripes and a mane that stands on end when threatened. Unlike other hyenas, aardwolves don’t hunt large prey. Instead, they specialize in eating termites, sometimes licking up to 300,000 in a single night with their sticky tongues! The aardwolf pups join a baby boom at our nursery, which also includes three clouded leopard cubs and a spotted fanaloka kit born on Aug. 24. With only a handful of aardwolves in U.S. zoos, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet and learn about a species most people have never encountered before.

Day Three and Four! I have caught up. The fun part of this challenge is realizing that there are some things I’ve avoided drawing… like talons and all backgrounds. But tomorrow will be ‘Ocean’ so I gotta do another damn background, curse my need to continue learning.

(Day 3 was birds, and Day 4 I swapped around so this is still life based on one of the cafe music channels that I had playing while drawing)

I think the solution to kids on the Internet is to have specific, kid friendly spaces on the Internet. Kids wouldn't come across "adult content" on YouTube if barbie dot com still had flash games and this is a hill I will die on.

one time when I was a kid my parents were arguing while we were driving somewhere and I was in the backseat so I wrote "are you going to get a divorce" on my foot and slowly extended my leg betwixt the seats

You have got to stop referring to video games, fiction, drawings, etc. as "CSAM."

This defeats the entire purpose of the term "CSAM" (child sexual abuse material) which is that it's material of a child being sexually abused. The term was coined by anti-CSAM advocates because this material was being called "child porn," and it's not "porn." "Porn" generally refers to fiction, and CSAM is not fiction. It's real footage of real children being really abused.

"CSAM" is to "child abuse" as "snuff film" is to "murder." It is real filmed violence against a real human person. Games/drawings/fiction depiction child abuse as a plot point in a work of fiction are to child abuse as, e.g., murder mysteries are to murder. It's a fictional story in a fictional medium. No real human people are harmed in its production. You can argue -- and many people do -- about whether the fictional depiction "sends a bad message" or whatever, but it is not, literally, a snuff film or CSAM.

Referring to fiction as "CSAM" not only needlessly gives cover to moral panic and censorship; it also completely dilutes the harm of CSAM. The harm of CSAM is not that it's morally bad media that sends a bad message. The harm is that real human people are abused in its production.
