Honourable Mention - Urban Wildlife

While hiking in the Interior of British Columbia, Roy Hamaguchi of Vancouver caught this foursome after he found a nesting box and gave it a tug to see what was inside. To his surprise, the little head of a Western chipmunk popped up, followed by three more!

Quote:
When the praying mantis (Rhombodera basalis) feels threatened, she transforms herself into a dancing alien. This species, native to Malaysia, grows to be as much as 10 centimeters. When the mantis goes into her famous praying pose, she's not paying tribute to a higher authority, but getting ready to spring on its prey.

While maybe not "beautiful" in the sense of appearance, these are some amazingly beautiful animals: http://video.yahoo.com/network/100000086?v=6417321&l=100000085

Oh. Are they at the zoo, or in quarantine?

Quarantine, I guess.
