@vonny,
vonny, The shot of the spider wasp is a doozy. Being a mother feline can't be easy. Look at that cat jump! The whale looks more interested in birds than fish. That's a helluva big mouth.

edgar, Okapis are tres rare and wonderful looking.

@edgarblythe,
That might be what passes for romance. I wonder how you could tell.

Thanks for the great pics, you guys. Builder, you see that pigeon in the flesh? I'm green with envy.

Yeah, and they're becoming less skittish. They have a deep two-tone call that echoes through the valleys. That's where their name comes from. Fruit-eater, unlike most doves/pigeons. There's a lot of sub-tropical rainforest nearby, and the logging ended quite some time ago.
