Even before I heard about the actual story yesterday, I saw the memes about it first (the internet eh?)

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

When someone captures a picture of a shrew on a hummingbird, then I'll be impressed.

Or a pygmy elephant on an albatross.

There's no pleasing some folk.

i'd never realised weasels were so tiny?

i'm sure i saw one in the woods where we walk the dogs a few years
ago, pretty sure it was as big as ferret.

or, the woodpecker is huge.

It's a baby weasel, apparently.

I once saw a big concrete block turned over by a digger and about 10 weasels ran out in all directions. yes, I am a yokel.
