dj, The bunny looks upset. The otter looks disinterested.

Francis, That's a waltz? Well, if the escargots like it, who am I to criticize.

Barry, Welcome back. Hope you are back. Love that cat. Ah to sleep like a feline. G'night to you too.

Not quite asleep, but not quite awake:

Kind of makes me think some of us did come from them. That guy has Jimmy Durante's nose!

@Arella Mae,

Arella Mae, I thought of Jimmy Durante as soon as I looked at that photo. Sorta resembles a few others I can think of too.

How many babies do they usually have Miss Roberta? This guy has been spitting 'em out for hours now! Laughing

@Arella Mae,

dj, A running bunny and a religious otter. Vunderbar. Thanks, kid.

firefly, Dem proboscis monkeys don't get their names by accident. They are very nosy--and wonderful looking in an offbeat sorta way.

Arella Mae, According to my research (gag, I hate research), the female deposits about 1500 eggs in the male birthing pouch. So that's as many as can be born at one time.

I apologize to everyone, including the poor seahorse in the picture, for that endless action. I didn't know that was gonna happen when I found the picture.

Amateur photographer Vedran Vidak has captured the fighting stallions of the Cincar mountains in Bosnia. They spend the winters hidden in the mountain valleys only reappearing again in the spring to fight for ascendancy on the grassy plains. Vedran has spent days tracking the beautiful stallions over the last few years to photograph them fighting for control of the herd.

@Irishk,

Is the white one really a stallion? He doesn't seem 'hung like a horse'.

I'm sure i've seen pics of solenodons here before, but only ones that make them look ugly - equal time for cute solenodons

@hingehead,

I've never heard of them (nor have they of me)...

I consider them scoopable, but that is just a mind thing. Wrong, wrong, don't do it.

In that picture it is really hard to tell but males don't let it all hang out all the time so like in that picture it may be hard to see he is a male. For the first 24 hours of JJ, my darling mule's life, I thought he was a girl! It seems certain body parts may take a good 24 hours to appear. I thought I had a Jinny for a whole day but sure was surprised the next morning!
