Happy Feathursday!
Resplendent quetzals (Pharomachrus mocinno) are the emerald jewels of the Central American forests. Often considered one of the most beautiful birds in the world, these iridescent bright green quetzals were revered in Aztec and Mayan cultures. They are the national animal of Guatemala, and a male with its iconic tail feathers appears on the Guatemalan flag.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Don’t believe you eyes-- this bird is actually brown! The resplendent quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala, has a very unique up its feathers that give it its shimmering green appearance. Up close, the feathers are translucent or dark brown. Inter spaced with these are microscopic stripes of melanin, a pigment that in humans causes the skin to darken. For the quetzal this pigment traps light and reflects the color green, making it appear to our eyes as a resplendent emerald.

BOTD: Eared Quetzal
Tumblr media
Photo: Tom Mills
"Long regarded as a rare and elusive specialty of the Mexican mountains, this big trogon stunned birders by appearing north of the border in 1977, with a family group in Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains. Since then it has occurred several more times in Arizona, in at least four ranges, and has been found nesting. Only a distant relative of the Elegant Trogon, this species is more closely related to the quetzals of the deep tropics."

Oh? What's this...?
Tumblr media
A little animal, on the grounds of my yard—!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh! I think I startled it! I've gotta be careful; that "spear" looks rather sharp—!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I needle-felted a tiny slugcat yesterday, and if you ask me, it came out SO cute! Below the cut are some more pictures of it to show off some angles and poses (featuring one of my felting needles as a "spear"):

This was actually my second attempt at making a pocket-sized generic/Survivor slugcat (fourth overall needle felted slugcat attempt), where I mainly tried to improve the proportions. Here are some comparison pictures with my first mini Survivor (left):

I hope you like this little guy — I certainly love it! And my hope is to someday needle felt all the main slugcats (plus maybe Nightcat and Enot). Some might be difficult (probably Gourmand and Saint), but I'm up to the challenge if it produces more adorable tiny wool friends!
Also, I've been trying to get back in the swing of needle-felting, so let me know if you would like to see more of it on this blog!

Had a train of thought that went more or less like: I'm not a fan of how Earth media/culture gets used in Mtmte > it would be fun if it was more focused on the Autobots that were stationed on Earth > there should be a gag about a group on Autobots that were stationed on a never-shown planet that constantly make in-group references to said planet's culture and neither the other characters nor the audience have any clue what they're talking about
