Thanks for clearing that up, mesquite. Interesting to see the male. Another reach-out-and-touch photo of the mockingbird. Just how close does Tom get to these wild birds? It must be the lens. And a lot of patience.

Glad you like that platypus, osso. Don't know why gus is all embarrassed. Is he suggesting platypusitudinal connections?

Caribou, I'm not usually happy to get bills, but this time, bravo. Great collection of boids. Thanks.

osso, Grazie for the link. Several make me sad. Didn't get all the way through. I'll go back.

Hiya bunny! Thanks for the PCs. Love the faces on those sphynxes. Not sure I've ever seen a Cornish rex. Fascinating. I'd like to touch one. Also thanks for the koalas. I have trouble watching videos, so I didn't get to see all the links. But thanks for posting them.

dadpad, Gotta go with the bunny, here. Eye of the beholder. I find beauty in some animals that most people see no beauty in.

I recently read a fabulous book, in which a rescued warthog featured mightily. Such character!!!!

Warthogs are smart, determined, and other-worldly looking. What was the name of the book?
