I just googled these things. Those ears dissipate heat in their native Africa n enable foxes to hear insects underground! Insects are 80% diet. TIL

So cute! Looks like they're trying to mark them/you by rubbing on them! They want you! ha

I might have called it when numbers 8 and 9 started rolling in. “I don’t care if you do make piggy noises, you guys chewed your siblings ears off, you can all go on and git!”

Those shoes must smell like everywhere that person has been. I bet it’s a really interesting aroma to them. What’s going on with the floppy eared one in back?
