For me, joy never comes without the grief of knowing it is only ephemeral. All happiness carries with it the seed of its own end.

Greater Grison (Galictis vittata)
is a species of mustelid (weasels and allies) found in Central and South America from Mexico to Brazil. Like their badger relatives they are short and slender, nocturnal and will eat almost anything they can get their hands on from fruit, birds, fish, amphibians and small mammals. The grisons can be found in most habitats that south america has to offer from shrublands, grasslands, woodlands and even rainforests. not too much is known about their behavior as they are hard to track.
