Animalworld.tumblr.com was started on a whim - as a counterpoint to the standard Tumblr fare of puppies, kittens and cute animals—and an attempt to show what other animals populate the planet. I was not expecting the blog to take off the way it has. Even with the attrition these past few months when there have been few posts, still over 7,200 followers, 100,000 hits since August/Sept.  I’ve learned a TREMENDOUS amount about the animal kingdom from this blog. The best of 2011 and a nice cross section of posts: (L to R, top to bottom) January - Caracal February - Royal Sea Star or Purple and Orange Sea Star March - Spanish Moon Moth April -Turquoise Browed Mot Mot May -Cuban Land Snail - priotrochatella-stellata June - Green Bottle Blue Tarantula July - Jeweled Caterpillar August - Blue Linckia or Blue Star September - Pistol Shrimp October - Hawksbill Sea Turtle riding a Jelly fish November - Flashlight Fish December - Dragonhead Caterpillar
