As far as first kisses go, I suppose it could have been worse...?

LOVING THIS. 🤣🤣

paisleys actually cooked

Exactly. I don't see many fics about it, so I plan to fix that. Also PEAK ART. SLAY, QUEEN, SLAY!! 💅

The cheetah creature power suit is more realistic than you think, in more ways than one…

Cheetahs get their food stolen from them by lions, hyenas, and leopards frequently enough that they get anxious whenever they make a kill. If approached by one of those competitors, they'll abandon their kill immediately rather than risk a fight.

Cheetahs in captivity can sometimes develop anxiety so severe it prevents them from eating and mating. To combat this, many zoos have taken to giving their cheetahs "emotional support dogs".

So when the honey badger growled at cheetah-Martin, and his suit's instincts caused him to panic and run away without even thinking about it, that's pretty accurate. (There's a really good comic and fic by @yes-asil about Martin having a cheetah anxiety attack, and they're really good, you should totally read them → Cheetah Panic fanfic and Cheetah Panic comic)

2. Spotless Cheetahs

According to this website on mutant cheetahs, "A spotless cheetah or golden cheetah was photographed in Kenya in 2011. It had the black "eyeliner" markings on the face, but instead of a spotted coat it had a pale sandy coat (akin to a puma) with freckles confined to the dorsal area. This is a colour morph, due either to a new mutation or to an existing recessive gene mutation carried in the local cheetah population."

When the cheetah creature power suit was activated for the first time, the spots didn't appear on the suit right away. This early suit that lacked spots is not necessarily inaccurate on its own, as it is possible (though extremely rare) for a cheetah to be virtually spotless.

3. Maltese cheetahs

According to that same website, "The Moghul Emperor of India, Jahangir, recorded having a white cheetah presented to him in 1608", and this is how he described it: "Its spots which are (usually) black, were of a blue colour, and the whiteness of the body was also inclined to bluishness."

"Jahangir refs to the cheetah as white, rather than albino, and the description sounds like a chinchilla mutation, where the spots appear silvery-blue on a pale silvery/bluish background. There seems to be no other information about this creature (perhaps further information exists, but has not been translated), though it has been hypothesised that Raja Bir Singh Deo acquired it in the jungles of his Bundelkhand home region.

The bluish colour, and the whiteness of the body, which also inclined to blue-ishness indicates the chinchilla mutation which restricts the amount of pigment on the hair shaft. Although the spots would have been formed of black pigment, the less dense pigmentation (it does not go all the way to the root of the hair) would have produced a hazy, bluish effect."

These "blue" cheetahs can also be called "maltese cheetahs", with "maltese" meaning "slate grey".

Here's a sketch from the website:

So all of this is to say…

…Martin being a blue cheetah is not completely unrealistic either.

4. The results of the cheetah's Genetic Diversity (or lack thereof)

According to The Cheetah Conservation Fund, "During the last Ice Age, cheetah numbers collapsed to only a small group of survivors. This population bottleneck caused a dramatic loss of genetic diversity, leaving today’s cheetahs unusually uniform." (In other words, all cheetahs are severely inbred.)

This has resulted in many health problems and physical deformities, one of which is having a kinked tail…

…Well… it's scientifically accurate all right…

So anyway, those are just a few fun facts about cheetahs. This was fun, and I learned quite a bit in doing the research for this.

I can't look at the bros as cheetahs the same way again. That's really cool how accurate they make the suits.

repeating this to myself forever and ever

So relatable! 😭

My theory on why Martin gets so much meaner towards Zach in later seasons 💥

I just kinda made it as i went along so if it doesn’t flow well or smth that’s why

OMG I LOVE THIS!! TOTALLY HEADCANNON NOW!!

AH YES THE ANNUAL SURPRISE OF WILD KRATTS BECOMING A YEAR OLDER... HAPPY 15TH ANNIVERSARY TO WILD KRATTS, IM PUMPED TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE PLANS FOR

Also Happy late 60th birthday Martin (I was on vacation and didn't have cell service on the 23rd of December)

OMG, I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH!!!! 😭😭😭😭

This not on the topic my blog, but I'll just share it

(maybe delete it later)

My friends and I often play Minecraft, Everyone does their, and I decided to collect all types of parrots. When I found green and blue, I called them Chris and Martin for fun :"D

And the last time we played together, we were just messing around in our house. And my friend decided it would be funny to suddenly set off fireworks in warehouse. Then he ran into the parrot room.

In short, Martin died from fireworks....I didn't even really understand how it happened. He teleported to me and a second dissolved into particles and a feather

And it sounds sad, yes, but from my perspective the whole situation looked a little funny because it reminded me of the situation from Shrek (where Fiona sang with the bird and it exploded…)

Conclusion: Do not play with fireworks near living creatures, even if it Minecraft

NOOOO RIP MARTIN 😭😭😭 (Someone plz draw parrot Chris sad over the feather.)

Here are some concepts for a Wild Kratts AU I'm making were all of the boy villains are mythical creatures :D

Zach is a Harpy

Gormand is a Spynx

Dabio is a Centaur

I love this. Donita is so done with their crap, and the designs are really pretty. :>

More martgwen anyone???

She go nom. >:3

Wild Kratts: The Danger Of Love - Part 14

NOW TO CLOSE OUT THE YEAR WITH A BANG - Phew, this was a quick chapter, but it's definitely a good way to end 2025. If there's one thing I hope for next year, it's to keep bringing you more of this comic and keep talking with all of you…And aside from that hopefully i will get a good job too. Okay, let's get into some general details:

Gourmand is definitely not good at managing his emotions. It's part of writing a middle-aged man who clearly still holds onto unhealthy mindsets regarding the expression of feelings from the past. And as is obvious, bottling everything up doesn't make the discomfort disappear. Undoubtedly, only a man who doesn't hold those harmful beliefs could offer a counterpoint to those ideas.

Perhaps Chris wasn't able to solve all the mysteries, but he certainly found important answers and, above all, the humanity that remained hidden within the chef.

Yes, my girls, half the budget went to that last panel; my search history now looks like a botanist's for researching flowers from the Andes Mountains. With nothing more to say, I bid you farewell and wish you all a wonderful NEW YEAR! Oh, and I'm also leaving the previous part here. Now, bye-bye!

My Absolute Favorite Chrismand Comic! 😍😍😍

silly sea cows

okay i’m gonna say it: fandoms are kinda dying on tumblr, and they’re starving because nobody reblogs anymore.

like… i don’t wanna be that person but be for real?? likes are cute and all but they do nothing for creators. ZERO. NADA. a reblog is literally the oxygen mask keeping this blue hellsite alive. you say you “love” a fic, an edit, a gifset? then BABES… reblog it. boost it. let it breathe.

half the time creators are out here pouring their entire soul, spine, AND three vertebrae into something just for it to get 200 likes and 3 reblogs, two of which are their own. that’s why people stop posting. that’s why fandoms feel empty. content doesn’t magically fall from the sky — it comes from people who feel seen.

and i promise you: reblogging is free. it costs you like 0.2 seconds and suddenly you’re personally responsible for keeping a whole fandom alive. congrats!! so yeah. if you like something? reblog it. scream in the tags. yell. keyboard smash. put sparkles. do whatever. just don’t let creators feel like they’re shouting into a void.

reblogs feed creators. reblogs keep fandoms thriving. reblogs literally save lives (okay maybe not literally but u get it).

support the creators you love !!!!!! or else we’re all gonna be sitting in empty tags like clowns.

never pause wild kratts

ㅤㅤ DUDE WTF IS THAT!?!?!?

WHY!? 😭😭😭

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD I LAUGHED AT THIS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fjjfjcjfjdjf siblings only exist to raise your blood pressure

As an older sister of three younger sisters, I couldn't agree more. True words. (We're literally the turtles, only I'm Leo, while my sisters age order is more like Donnie just a couple years under, then Raph and Mikey are twins about almost a decade apart, but Raph was born first.)

I binge read The Glass Scientists in one night after having to read the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde for my ap lit class and i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Its really good. Holy fuck its so good. I cried.

ALSO please enjoy sketches of my designs for the og novella, or like what i envisioned as i was reading it haha

I, myself, have been wanting to check it out, but worried it'll become my new hyperfixation when I'm still my Wild Kratts one and curently writing fics them. @_@

Con las clases de dibujo e logrado cierta fluidez en el movimiento, aun me falta mucho camino para llegar a la animación, pero que mejor manera de practicar que con escenarios divertidos!!?

Ojo donde pisan muchachos, no valla a ser que acaben del otro lado del patio 👻

(Como dije mis tiempos son limitados, ignora el intento rápido de marmota 🥲)

Me encanta cómo hiciste que se muevan tan fluidos, me da mucha inspiración! 😍

Can't understand or translate at the moment, but I love these goobers so much.
