Everyone knows the story of Noah's Ark (see "Evan Almighty" if you're in the mood for a weird, hour-and-a-half-long modern adaptation of the story). God starts it off by being pretty pissed at mankind for being greedy and wicked, so he's hell-bent on flooding out every living thing on the face of the planet. Great! After hearing this lovely statement, a 600-year-old man named Noah, who's apparently the only decent human being, is introduced. He and God make a deal that he's going to make an ark: a humongo, gigantor boat with exact measurements and everything. The ark's going to hold two of every kind of animal, as well as Noah's family (I'd imagine that the ark was very cramped), while God floods out everything else. So, Noah builds the ark, grabs the animals, and waits 40 days and 40 nights for God's rain to stop falling. Once it does, Noah sends out some birds to figure out if the flood has receded, and after the ground is dry, everyone leaves the ark! Yay! Man, I'd be super excited to get out; apparently Noah's the same way, because he gets super drunk after this whole thing happens.
Hmm... an animal that I'm excited about? Well, I could go on about how my second word (right after "happy") was "bear," or about how my patronus is a giraffe, or about how there are lemur noises around my house on a regular basis, but I won't.
Instead, I'm going to tell you about penguins. Why? Well, because REVERSE GENDER ROLES HECK YES THAT'S WHY!
The dad takes all the stay-at-home responsibilities (aka: look after egg), and the mom THE MOM SHE GOES OUT LIKE A BAMF AND GETS ALL THE FOOD! Guys, this makes me so excited I mean:
The moms
do all of
the hard work!
Meanwhile,
the dads are all on Mommy Duty!
Like, hey, penguins, why are you so cool defying (human/animal) stereotypes?
You go, penguins! You go!
This was Bring Your Child to Work Day, except OH WAIT THAT'S ALREADY THEIR JOB; THAT'S JUST A NORMAL DAY FOR THE DADDY PENGUINS. WHAT?! AWESOME?!
