Mooshika.org - Welcome! Bienvenue!

In the Hindu religion, rats represent foresight and prudence, and white ones are very lucky. Mooshika is the name of the steed that Ganesh - god of new beginnings and of fire, knowledge, wisdom, literature and worldly success - rides upon. The steed, of course, is the intelligent and gentle rat. “Mooshika” means “little hoarder.”


Dans la religion hindoue, les rats représentent la prévoyance et la prudence, les blancs étant considérés comme particulièrement chanceux. Mooshika est le nom du destrier de Ganesh – dieu des nouveaux départs, du feu, du savoir, de la sagesse, de la littérature et du succès matériel. Ce destrier, bien sûr, est un digne représentant de la race douce et intelligente des rats. Le nom ''Mooshika'' signifie petit amasseur.

Fundraising for Groundhog Day

Groundhog babies for my birthday, folks. That's all I'm asking for. 

I had a nice hike in the company of a marmot in BC once. And as we all should know, marmots are fancy mountain groundhogs. They sit on rocks and look fat and sassy and wise. They look like someone you'd ask advice from. They look like they'd be your best bud. Despite being that awesome, Vancouver Island Marmots are endangered. Habitat became a problem. Predators too.

Luckily a bunch of do-gooders with cushy jobs (Fat, sassy groundhog babies! My friends, behold a cushy job) are out there breeding, and feeding, and releasing, and spying on these little mofos. If we have a few more good years, their population might rebound! They had 26 litters in the wild last year, maybe 75-80 puppies, and another 22 babies were born in the zoos, getting ready to be sprung on an needy world, I mean, ecosystem. There are dens and caverns just begging to be re-occupied.

All I want is to become a marmot shepherd. But I hear it's a pretty exclusive job, so I want to make sure that job is around by the time I am eligible to do it. That's why I want groundhog money for my birthday. So Donate here >
