This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Please help them! They may not be able to get separated without human intervention.

At least in the US you can call your local animal control and either them, or the regional wildlife rehab center will help separate them if possible.
