Disney Parks Animatronic Tournament: Bracket A/Tier 1 Round 4
Shaman of Songs: Na'vi River Journey (2017-current) - Animal Kingdom Disney World
Propaganda:
"it’s stunning, a true marvel of engineering, it was magic to look at"
"Have you SEEN how beautiful this animatronic is??? And I don't mean like physically (although she IS very pretty) but on a technical side the Shaman of Songs has absolutely amazing movement and the early ads for this ride literally had the animatronic itself speaking to the audience as if it were an actor.
Amazing tech right there" "She's absolutely gorgeous, her movements are so smooth and lifelike it's incredible. Easily one of the most impressive animatronics in the Disney parks."

Hatbox Ghost: Haunted Mansion(2015/2023-current) - Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Disney world
Propaganda:
"His head disappearing affect is really well done. His also so dapper!"
Meet one of the planet’s smallest turtles: the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii)! This petite reptile grows up to 4.5 in (11.4 cm) long. It’s easily identifiable by the orange patches on either side of its head.
The bog turtle has an impressive lifespan, with the oldest documented individual reaching an age of 61! Unfortunately, this species is critically endangered due in part to poaching and habitat loss as a result of human expansion.

The more sophistically attuned your psychic body becomes, the more you realise nature and the Earth have different spiritual layers and spectrums. The New Age movement told us the Earth is gentle, soft..that Mama Gaia is nourishing..this is partially true.. The Earth (think of Demeter) can give yet the Earth can eliminate as well.
If you want to understand yourself better, observe animals and nature. If you want to understand the Law of Nature (which is not always the "softest" law which is something that is not well understood by modern spirituality) , animals teach you how to be connected to your root chakra. I am not saying to look at life from a survival mode pov though (which also implies a root chakra imbalance), however I do believe many people are not connected to their primal instincts and therefore cannot properly function in society.
If you are suffering from the following problems, studying the animal kingdom may be beneficial:
Good girl syndrome? Animals are neither categorized as good or bad. Animals defend themselves because it is in their nature to survive. Sorry to say this but sometimes life is a jungle and you must act accordingly to survive. As I said, Nature can be harsh sometimes but the Law of Nature always prevails.
Sexual guilt and purity culture
Fear of nudity
Fear of being hurt, blocking your heart and staying alone because you think you'd protect yourself from being hurt, hyper independence; Most animal species live in group to protect themselves from predators because they instinctively know that they must rely on each other to survive.. Hyper-independence is a myth and do not fall in this New Age paradigm "if you desire love from others, it probably means you don't love yourself enough". It is 100% normal to desire human connections and romance. Self love does not exclude this inherent desire for human connections.
It’s Wednesday, so hang in there like the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)! Though it resembles a mouse, this species is distinguished by a shorter tail and stockier build. Mostly herbivorous, it’s a proficient climber that uses acrobatic skill to reach seeds and fruits. Its diet also includes moss, fungi, and nuts. Weighing up to 1.27 oz (36 g), this diminutive critter can be found across most of Europe as well as parts of Asia.
