@Arella Mae,

dj, Wonderful B&O today, especially the O. Hey, O. That's snow.

Arella Mae, I'm guessing those are Bengal tigers in the tub. If you like big butts, kiddo, that's the pic for you.

I am so struck by the beauty and grace of that little horse, I'm almost speechless (almost).

Basking shark (aka megamouth):

@Roberta,

He looks like he could swallow a whole boat! Shocked

The little horsey is a Fresian/Appaloosa. That is going to be one amazing looking horse when he grows up. He's already magnificent.

@ossobuco,

He almost doesn't look real. He sure has unusual markings.

@Arella Mae,

Da hawse (as I say) is gawgeous. (Yes, I really tawk like that.) But I know gorgeous when I see it. I'd love to see the little guy all grown up.

BTW, basking sharks are harmless to humans, unless one accidentally bumps into a human. They're very big.

@Roberta,

the british documentary series Coast has a few episodes featuring basking sharks, they're a lot like whales, they eat plankton that they strain through filters in their mouths, some of the ones they saw were around 35 feet long

@Roberta,

Are basking sharks different to Whale Sharks or the same thing? They get up to 50 feet long and eat plankton - scuba divers can even swim into their mouths - I've seen video somewhere.

@hingehead,

i think they might be one and the same, cause they doc that mentioned basking sharks talked about divers swimming with them and sticking and being able to stick their heads and shoulders into their mouths

@hingehead,

I was thinking that the bear was acting towards it's kosher interest as it looked more like a bagel.

Glad you got the questions answered without me. Yes, basking sharks are second to whale sharks in size. Yes, they eat plankton. Yes, the got big mouths.

Love the panda and the robin. Thanks, guys.

@Roberta,

it's a nuthatch of some variety

the red breasted nuthatch is the bravest of the little birds i've met, the others all scatter when i open the door, these guys stay feeding and will let me get right up to them

@djjd62,

Not a sparrow, a nuthatch. Thanks mucho, dj. And a beautiful picture, too.
