Creature Features: Tasmanian Devil

PetSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:00:54 -0700

Although the Tasmanian Devil you might know best spins around like a tornado, destroys everything in its path, and can sometimes be seen alongside a rascally rabbit, the real Tasmanian Devil isn't quite so cartoonish.

You may know Looney Toons Taz from the 60s, but how much do you know about the real guys out there in the wild? Take my quiz on the crazy marsupials and find out!

Cute Alert: Baby Tasmanian Devil Emerges From Mom's Pouch

GiggleSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0700

. . . to kill us with her cuteness. This baby Tasmanian devil, or "devil pup" as they call her, is a tiny beast after my own heart. Yulgilbar took a peek outside mama's pouch where she lived for a month and decided there was something worth leaving that comfy space for: FOOD! Yulgilbar's little face is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Who freaking knew Tasmanian devils were cute as buttons? Time for a name change! Click here to read more about her.

Four Cute Tasmanian Devil Babies Born at the Taronga Zoo!

PetSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:10:47 -0700

These lil babes don't look much like Taz twinsies, but they are the real Tasmanian Devil deals! As the world's largest meat-eating marsupials, the famed cartoon character was inspired by the actual animals' ravenous appetites.

The babes are getting health checks, paternity tests and microchipped at Sydney's Taronga Zoo in hopes of protecting and checking up on this endangered species in the wild. The joeys look rather expressive (and so squirmy!) - what handfuls!

See more pictures of all four when you read more.

OPI's Summer 2007 Collection Gets Down Under

BellaSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 05:51:23 -0700

OPI is one of my favorite nail polish brands of all time. I love the sassy names and stay-put lacquers, and the colors in its new Australia Collection for Summer 2007 are to die for! The line consists of twelve nail lacquers ($7.50 each), ranging in color from bright to metallic to neutral. The vivid colors are sporty and sexy; the dark shades are very in style right now; and the lighter shades are great for a sheer summer look. My favorite shade is Kangarooby (pictured).

What's even cooler is that OPI has changed its brushes, inventing a new, wider shape designed to hold more polish, spread color more evenly, and prevent streaking. A few of the nail colors also have corresponding lip liners and lipsticks, which sell for $10. To read about each of the 12 shades in the OPI Australian Collection, read more
