This sculpture, titled Rabbit, has just sold for a record-setting $91.1 million US dollars! Holy carrots, that’s a lot of lettuce!!!
The three-foot rabbit, made out of stainless steel and resembling a balloon, was created by artist Jeff Koons in 1986. The sale set a record for the most expensive work of art sold while the artist is still alive.
Koons has held the record in the past, when his sculpture Balloon Dog (Orange) sold for $58.4 million US dollars in 2013.
We love all creatures great and small! This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the mamas of the Animal Kingdom… From the furry to the scaly, here are some Amazing Animal Moms!
Orangutans spend their lives living up in the trees… Mama Orangutans build a brand new nest every night out of branches and leaves, for herself and her baby to sleep in. That’s more than 30,000 new nests in a lifetime!
Mama Orangutans also almost never put their babies down for the first two years. The bond between mom & baby orangutan is so strong that the young orangutans continue “visiting” their moms well into their lives.
Elephant mothers and babies have especially strong social bonds. After a 22 month pregnancy, baby elephants stay close to their mothers, and live along side them for about 16 years! Moms work together with the other female elephants in the herd to help raise and protect each others’ children…it truly takes a village of moms to raise a baby elephant!
Giraffe babies weigh 100-150 pounds and are 6 feet tall when born! With their mothers’ encouragement, they begin walking within 30 minutes. Moms of newborn giraffes get only about 30 minutes of sleep per day since they are so busy guarding their calves…now that’s dedication!
Meerkats primarily eat venomous scorpions—yikes! Mama meerkats teach their babies how to hunt by catching a scorpion, injuring it to disable its stinger, and giving it to the babies to practice hunting without getting stung.
Newborn baby Bottlenose Dolphins have a hard time keeping up with their mothers, so mothers create a wake while swimming that draws the babies alongside them effortlessly. Each mother dolphin has her own signature whistle, which is basically like saying her own name. If a baby gets lost, she’ll whistle so that the baby can find her again.
Alligator moms build a nest of vegetation around their eggs. As the vegetation starts to decompose, it generates heat that keeps the eggs warm until they hatch (it’s basically a cozy compost pile!) When the little gators crack out of their eggs, Alligator moms carry the tiny babies in their jaws for protection! Who knew these ferocious fangs could be so gentle?
Looking for a way to treat your Mama right this Mother’s Day? You can make a fun and easy spa basket that she’ll love! Start with a basket from your local craft thrift store, and fill with goodies she can use to make her own home spa experience. Most of these picks are available at your local grocery or drug store!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas, grand-mamas, step-mamas, and foster mamas out there!
Whether she’s your mom, step-mom, or a motherly figure in your life, she deserves to be pampered! This year, thank all the Mamas in your life for the hard work they have done for you with a pair of cozy slippers. Here are a few of our favorite picks from our Mother’s Day Gift Guide.
Fuzzy Bear Slippers: Nothing is more comforting and nostalgic than a teddy bear! We’ve taken all the teddy bear goodness and made it into these cozy slippers… Be sure to thank Mom for all the times she’s tucked you in at night!
Wonder Woman Slippers: Forget the comics…Moms are the real super-heroes! Show your mama how much you admire her strength and courage with a pair of Wonder Woman Slippers!
Pink Flamingo Slippers: These fine feathered friends are sure to be a hit–whether or not your Mom lives in Florida! With a fun and cheerful spirit, these sweet flamingos will inspire Mom to kick back, relax, and have a LOL!
Nari Narwhal Heated Slippers: Is your Mom one of those people whose toes are always cold? We’ve got the solution–these slippers are HEATED! Just plug the (detachable, included) cord into any USB port, and the inner heating elements will get warm and toasty. These are the perfect companions to any Netflix binge!
Most of all, we hope you get to spend some quality time with your Mom(s), and make some new memories!
