Within the next few weeks this thread will hit 500,000 views. That's a half a million!
I've been watching the numbers mount and taking some satisfaction from it. I'm kvelling. (Look it up.)
In addition to the regular posting, I'm gonna be doing some reruns of my favorite pics and favorite animals. Join me. Nothing will be too cute. I'm prepared.
High Seas, Absolutely positively spectacular pic. Thanks mucho.

@Roberta,
Sorry if penguins stretched the page - will try to go back and fix it but wanted to post picture of amazing mountain goat while still on fast connection:
Unbelievable goat pic. I'll be worrying about this guy. I know they're sure-footed, but that looks precarious.
Don't worry about stretching the page. It looks just fine to me.

Dead giveaway...
It's easy to see which ants have been sipping which coloured sugar water drops thanks to their transparent abdomens. Father of three Mohamed Babu set up these photographs after his wife, Shameem, showed him some ants that had turned white after sipping on some spilt milk. Dr Babu mixed sugar water with edible colours red, green, blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the insects. He discovered the ants preferred lighter colours such as yellow and green.
