When I was teaching preschool a few months ago, one of my kids showed up every day as a different creature that he would describe to us in meticulous detail. One of the most common Creatures he came to school as was a βdori,β which we drew together here on a whiteboard:

Some facts about dories:
look like tailless white bipedal cats
not cats
not animals
not people
not born OR hatched from eggs
do not have souls
cannot be mind controlled
come in two varieties: aggressive and non-aggressive
eat meat
I really think creating a Creatureα΅α΄Ή to pretend to be is a universal Weird Kid experience.
For Pikas, All the Hard Work is Finally Paying Off!
After a full summer of labor, the industrious Rocky Mountain National Park pikas are ready for the winter. Pikas are related to rabbits and are only found above tree line, in the alpine tundra. They spend the short summer months working hard to gather plants to eat throughout the long winter.
