Watch for the hyenas...

In the meantime, I'll see if I can transfer this one photo of mating frogs - (I love the feet.. or whatever you call those)

Barry, It appears that some humans have a way to go in the mothering department. Oy. Love the g'night cat. Thanks.

Francis, A cuteness alert would have been appropriate. Tres wonderful pic. What kind of feline is that?

dj, Two bunnies for the price of one! Can't beat that. Both adorable. I'm purring over the otter pic. Why do some many animals bite their own tails. Don't they know they're connected?

osso, Thanks for the link to the glorious pics. Dem poor amphibians. Ain't they entitled to a little privacy? Of course, if you're schtupping in public, what can you expect?

Western tanager:

A serval baby, Roberta.

Other animals playing:

Know where I could get some o dem tick birds ? They would be just the thing for my hygiene problem....

Francis, Thanks for the serval info. The horse and the dog are playing? Do they know that. It looks pretty serious to me. Great picture.

Ionus, You got ticks? Feh. Head over to Africa and stand out on the savannah. The birds will find you.

Evening New York.A beautiful pair of eyes....

"Lancelot is a Classic seal point Siamese. Extremely smart and affectionate. He loves to greet everyone at the front door, the moment the door bell chimes he's off sounding the alarm with the typical Siamese vocals."

Barry, The cat is a beauty. The hippo--needs her beauty sleep. Thanks for both.

Spiny flower mantis:

the daily (late and a dollar short) B & O

dj, Please don't be concerned about being late or missing a day. There's always another bunny and another otter. The two today seem a little out of it. They must have had a wild weekend.

Devil's flower mantis:

i think they're embarrassed for missing their regular spot

meanwhile, today's specimens make their appearances

the daily B & O

Morning New York,this made me smile....
Cat Born With The Word "Cat" in Fur.

Owners Gary and Joan Marsh, of Newcastle-under-Lyme, say their newly adopted kitten has blond spots of fur that resemble the word “cat” on its body!


Ten-week old kitten Polly has the perfect answer to any feline ambiguity - markings on her left side that helpfully spell out the word 'cat'. Indicating that she is a cat, which she is.
