Historia
The alligator had a good life, but his neighbor was a little a**hole. His neighbor just happened to be a squirrel. Not all squirrels are a**holes, but this one was. What was the poor alligator to do? He did what anybody would do: went into his garage and built a 60mm machine-gun, a flamethrower, and a grenade launcher, with which to deal with the problem. Then, suddenly, things got crazy.

Historia
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs.

Historia
While hiking on a solo vacation in a remote, uninhabitable region of Arizona, Zachary Anderegg happened upon Riley, an emaciated puppy clinging to life, at the bottom of a 350-foot canyon. In a daring act of humanity that trumped the deliberate savagery behind Riley’s presence in such a place, Zak single-handedly orchestrated a rescue. What didn’t come out in the initial burst of publicity this story received is that Zak and Riley’s destinies were intertwined long before they improbably found each other.

Entertaining Diversion
As I grow older, I find myself seeking the things that help keep me sane in this world of ours. And that has seen my social media feeds change from discourse and arguments, to a lot more animal videos. When I saw this I felt it was the perfect opportunity to hear some out-there and potentially hilarious stories about animals. It was.
Essentially the verbal version of a list of short anecdotes and stories and some goofiness, it was definitely entertaining and scratched the itch that I wanted scratched. I enjoyed the fact that the author and subsequently the narrator gave in to the fact that the stories were silly in some cases, but managed to hold onto the fact that there were some small areas of seriousness about being good to animals and protecting them and the sad fact that some species' survival is entirely in our hands.

Absurdly Cute Short Tales or Tails
Absurd-but-True Animal Stories was indeed what the title says. They were interesting and animals are so funny in whatever they do. I love animals so much as they give unconditional love. It was a nice collection compiled by Kyla Colby. I wish it had been longer. There were a few stories I enjoyed more than others but all were pretty cute.
Jeanie Talbot's narration was okay albeit at times a little raucous to the point it was distracting. This was only with a few stories. She had a great voice when she wasn't over inflecting. I'd still listen to both author and reader.

Cute shorts for quick little escapes
I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this when I got it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I listened to one of these stories a day probably, and they were great little diversions that made me smile or laugh daily. Not only are they entertaining escapes with animal-centric shenanigans, but they even managed to let me learn some things along the way. The narration is fun and Jeanie Talbot really gets into telling these absurd tales and makes a performance out of them (she can really channel the excited pet voice in my head). Thought this listen was a lot of fun and I can see myself revisiting some of these to just make me smile again in the future.
