Soooo, technical science question here, super high level, get ready for some Latin and Greek and $14 words:
Does it’s little face flaps get all flippy flappy because it’s excited/hungry? foraging response? breathing? Those flaps were really flipping and I’m just curious
How much flip could a flippy flappy flap if a flippy flappy could flappy flippy?

Cool, THAT was PRETTY entertaining actually.
Great, thanks, I’m afraid of crabs now
And I thought that reaching the last Pringles was hard
What’s the big deal? He’s just musseling in there.
Life is so beautiful
Like the world’s slowest shredder.
