Beautiful Animals

Arella Mae, How can you tell the otter is Italian? Must be the tenor.

Iz, Thanks muchisimo for the glorious pics.

dj, Thanks for the B&Os. Love dem.

Here's a giraffe calf and mudder. The baby was born in da Bronx, just like me.

I'm not sure he is Italian. Just looked like to me that is what he is singing.

We missed ya ((((Boida))))

What beauties!

What she said!

Oh!

You've outdone yourself, those are all rich and wonderful photos.

Missed you too. Don't be finished with missing me yet. My computer is not behaving.

A flying bit of torquoise! Quite lovely Roberta!

There is a dog park a coupla blocks from our home (another reason why we will never move). I have a little friend there who I see every now and then. She's an Australian Shepherd, a blue merle. I don't have any pics of her but she looks a tad like this although her face and legs aren't as dark. A little love, always there with a greeting, just a sweet, sweet beast.

what a great pup

I think that otter is just as surprised as I was to see a pole dancing bunny. Must have been some show!

tsar, Glad you like the boid. Dem tanagers is amazing. Great variety and beauty.

jes, Speaking of beauty, that dog's a beauty.

dj, The B&O continue to generate smiles.

Otter love is sooooooooooooo beautiful!

Arella Mae, I heard about that poor misguided penguin--a looooong way from home.

Stunned and amazed at the barking cat. I wouldn't have thought that a cat would stoop low enough to imitate a dog.

Thanks for both.

dj, We'll never run out of bunnies. They multiply like rabbits. Can I be so confident about the otters?

evermore luxe photos, all.

Some from the chronicle again -


"Sneak attack in one, two ... Caracal cats - the fierce territorial wild cats of the Serengeti and other parts of Africa - are pretty much just adorable, sleepy fur blobs when they're 8 days old. Well, except for the one in the back with tiny claws extended. He looks like he's up to no good. (Oregon Zoo in Portland.)"
