Quite a lot of users ask themselves on Twitter – because there are countless pictures of them.
The word “curiosity” is a beautiful word. Not only for its sound. Does it mean one thing that prunes us in everyday life, maybe even perplexed. But in a harmless way, just so that our curiosity is awakened.
Such a curiosity recently appeared on Twitter . A photo of a snow leopard biting its own tail. It was posted by user Rae Paoletta. Occurs, you might think, a snow leopard bites his dick. Out of boredom maybe or because a mosquito got caught in it and decided to stab it.
So you would not pay much attention to such a photo. But, and now we come into the area of curiosity: Paoletta posted many more photos of snow leopards. And: they all bite themselves into their own snow leopard tail. As if that were a trend, just as people have been wearing sneakers for years. An intergenerational trend on top of that: both snow leopard mummies and daddies, as well as snow leopard babies seem to like the occasional bite in the fluffy limb.
But there are not only a lot of such photos, but also a lot of people who are ecstatic about them. Rae Paoletta’s post has gone viral by now: over 204,000 likes, over 91,000 comments.
