@ossobuco,
from the LA Times pictures-in-the-news, a swan ride in London -

Tuesday’s Pictures in News have the one that — almost — got away as a Royal Parks employee carries a swan he caught on the street after it left the confined space of a park in central London.

@ossobuco,
Scratch my nose: Knut seems to be trying to rub against a stuffed bear that 6-year-old Nane named "Knut" after the famous polar bear. (Berlin's Tiergarten Zoo.)

@ossobuco,
I miss seeing Knut's photograph. Der Spiegel seemingly abandoned their attention on him when he no longer had that puppy cub cuteness.

osso, Dem swans can be nasty. Had some run-ins with them when I was in Europe. That worker seems to have the boid under control.

The bear is lovely. Thanks.

Barry, Never saw an owl yawn. There's a first time for everything. Thanks for the tigers, owl, and PC.

A lazy monkey hitches a ride to the top of a tree - sitting on the back of a parrot. The squirrel monkey hopped onto the bird and wrapped his arms around its neck to avoid the 26ft climb. He lives with a male and female blue and gold macaw at a countryside hotel, where they always eat and play together. Photographer Alejandro Jaramillo was in San Agustin, Colombia, when he noticed the unusual friendship

That's neat. I would never have thought that a bird could fly with something or someone on it's back. Thought that would be some kind of Hollywood nonsense prior to reading this.

Some wise crack could be made (and probably made already somewhere ad nauseam) on the poor parrots possible drug habit I suppose.

Hey, Barry. If that's not a sheepdog, then there ain't no sheepdogs.

Tai, Tres wonderful pic. The hippos seems to be relishing the shower.

Tsar, Monkeys are smart. Why walk if you can ride? Parrots are pretty smart too. Maybe the boid is hoping for some kind of repayment for the favor.

@Roberta,
I really love the magpie photograph. What a fascinating bird. Perhaps in my next lifetime....
