My heart melted seeing the Lincoln Park zoo pride, the cubs are yearlings and already getting big, they grow up so fast😭. Lomelok just went through surgery yesterday to correct a slipped spinal disc. Plz send good vibes to Chicago!
I think Lomelok is a testament to how excellent veterinary care is for zoo animals, in the wild he probably would’ve died before his first birthday as he started showing experiencing weakness in his hind legs and tired easily as a tiny cub. Just wanted to share.
According to the zoo yesterday, he's out of surgery and doing well!
"The update we’ve all been waiting for with bated breath. Last night, around midnight, Lomelok fully stood up on his own for the first time! This is a huge milestone for his recovery but is one of the first literal and figurative steps in his journey. Afterward, he took a long 5-hour nap as the care team observed from nearby via camera so he could rest undisturbed.
Lomelok is currently recovering in a small space that controls the level of his activity during these critical first 72 hours."
Hello lovely people! It has been a race between a handful of paintings in various fandoms to see which would be finished first and, driven by its weekly presence, Gotchard won. I had considered not finishing this as the plot it is referencing concluded months ago. But I had feelings at the time I began this piece and my love of those episodes (and Sabimaru, who is my fav) persists. So, please enjoy this belated tribute to the first Kamen Rider Dread.
I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.
