41 Cool Pics That Flew Under the Radar

Nathan Johnson Published 06/24/2021 in wow

This series of pics came perilously close to escaping our Cool Pics containment facility. Thankfully Jeff, one of our sentry interns we keep tied to a pole along the facility's walls, saw it making an escape and we were able to tranq it before it escaped. And man, oh man, are we thankful we got these pics back. As a reward, we might even untie Jeff and let him down to walk around the yard for fifteen minutes.
