Wonderful pics, dj. Didn't know cranes were grazers.

@Roberta,
That looks like a friend in an outfit trying to quietly drop off some bon bons...

Warm tidings right back atcha, Alex. Thanks for the beautiful bird.

osso, Dem secretary boids is tough. They stomp poisonous snakes and then eat them.

Saw something on TV about beagles. These puppies are too cute.

@Roberta,
I don't think I've ever seen a tahr before, much less a Himalayan one.

A couple of cuties from the SFChronicle's day in pictures grouping -

osso, The Bronx Zoo had a tahr. (Don't know if it still does.) Very impressive animals. I also saw a white alligator there. Zoos are the only place to see albino alligators. They don't survive in the wild.

Precious lions and even more precious monkey pic. Mercy bow coo.

@Roberta,
I used to have a silver necklace with a silver rampant ibex hanging on to the chain. Hardly ever wore it since it was always stabbing me. Gave it to the goodwill at some point. Nuts, now I want that back...


More SFGate cute, if you can stand it -

osso, Too bad about the ibex necklace. I guess jewelry that attacks isn't wearable. The latest pic verges on illegally cute. Need dark glasses for this one. Thanks, kid.
