@Roberta,
(so sweet)

A harvestman cuts an intimidating figure, here silhouetted against a sunlit leaf in the Hofma Preserve in Grand Haven, Michigan. Also known as daddy longlegs, these creatures are often mistakenly labeled as spiders.

Some claim goats make good pets. I find them too mischievous to have around

@Real Music,
Clay cliffs just outside Peru's Manú National Park form a natural salt lick that attracts various animals, including these red-and-green macaws. More than a thousand species of birds—10 percent of the world total—live in and around the park.

@edgarblythe,
A year-old cub explores the treetops in an enclosure at the Wolong center of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda, where captive-bred pandas are trained to live in the wild. If the animal passes tests to gauge its survival skills and instincts, it will be released into the mountains.

The Margay got a mention on QI last night

http://images.northrup.org/picture/xl/margay/margay-10.jpg

It's almost unique among cats because it can climb down trees head first (its ankles rotate 180 degrees). Apparently the Cloud Leopard is the only other cat that doesn't need the fire brigade.

Blue tokay, posted by Reptile Hunter. Be careful, because these little geckos, common in the Philippines, have surprisingly powerful jaws!
