Blacktail Deer Plateau glow in the dark

Something (or, rather, someone) rudely jostled Osprey, dislodging her small nose from her father's much larger one. Her floppy ears fell backward and she bared her teeth, turning to punish the offender with them. However, the moment she recognized Tytonidae, little Junior calmed. Now her mouth twisted into a companionable grin and she reached out to nudge her sibling's cheek. She then thrust her blunt muzzle against their father's schnoz again, as if to show it to Ty.

The swarthy Alpha male let them poke, prod and even lick and nibble his nose for a moment, though eventually all of it caused a sneeze to erupt from him suddenly, causing him to lift and shake his head and, simultaneously, send a powerful gust of spittle in the girls' direction.

Stunned, Osprey Jr. held very still, bits of her father's saliva clinging to her wide-eyed face. She blinked a few times, trying to decide whether she should be frightened. Deciding there was nothing to fear from their dad, she eventually dropped to her bottom and pawed at her face, gathering the dew-like globs of spit and happily licking them off her tiny black paws.
