Beautiful Animals

The blue~jays have their own organized crime gang and you guys got the shakedown!

You better believe it! (They also chased off the cardinals and the chickadees.)

That is a strangely beautiful photo..

well you know what they say, you're nobody to some bunny loves you



wait, is that what they say

Hey! It's cousin Rupert!

Sure. They say it over in Rabbitvillia...

I'm sort of stultified. I think the macaque photo is priceless.

Tai, I love the blue jay pic. They are bossy boids, but beautiful.

I chose a picture of a macaque where the monkey didn't look like he was wearing a toupee. Many of them do (the reason for the "bonnet" before the macaque).

Japan’s Okunoshima Island, used between 1929 and 1949 as a poison gas production site for military purposes, has become an unlikely paradise for around 300 bunnies. Aside from the buns and their many visitors, the island is uninhabited. The Mainichi Daily News writes:

It is believed that rabbits were first taken to the island in 1971, after an elementary school in Takehara found it difficult to keep the animals at school. According to the Kyukamura Okunoshima resort hotel, most of the visitors to the island consisted of students on school study trips and senior tourists.

However, as the island became known as a rabbit habitat, the hotel began to receive more reservations from young women and families. The rabbits became popular for their adorable gesture asking for food.

A young tern looks like an angel as it lifts its wings in a bid to get food from its parents. The cute sight was captured by Johann Schumacher on Long Island, New York, America.
