We are gathered here today to commemorate a very special occasion, and its first occurrence during the duration of both GAS and GAPP!
To celebrate this beautiful quirk of the Gregorian calendar, the daily puzzle teams have leapt into each other's territories to put together a little pack of sudokus and puzzles. Enjoy!
Surprise, another ping! While you've already had a lovely puzzle pack from the entire team just a bit earlier, we just now decided we should also have a 'regular' puzzle for today. Hopefully you won't mind another puzzle to solve! And yes, you've guessed it, it's another baklog. This time however, the puzzle wasn't finished only one day in advance, but a whopping two days! And yes, the baklog is now depleted again.

Today's puzzle is a Wataridori! This is an old Nikoli omopa genre, dating back to Puzzle Communication volume 158.
Rules: Draw non-intersecting paths through the centers of some cells with circles at both ends of each path (and none in between). Numbers, if given, indicate how many regions the corresponding path travels through. Each path may visit each region at most once.
Note: While the original rules appear to not allow unclued circles to pair up with each other, this is allowed in this puzzle!
Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 3:00 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving the puzzle in 5:30 or less!
And all solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with a Surprise Sungrebe 🐦!
