@Phoenix32890,
Thanks for the link, Phoenix. I've seen film of giraffes being born. That's a long drop. Great stuff.

Thanks for the three beauties, Izzie. That wolf and I could be friends--from afar.

Here's another wild canid--the gray fox, smaller than the red fox.

Certainly the hawk (a female) was really beautiful:

(Too many people were there - so no rabbits were killed Wink )

Scientific American has photo contests periodically. A recent one showcased photos taken under a microscope. Not all animals, but pretty cool......
