@djjd62,
An otter party, what fun! Here's a dolphin party off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, and there's also a video here: http://postcardsandprose.wordpress.com/

jc, Did your friend let the little guy go?


He did, he’s a fisherman, he and his little son are out on his boat every weekend fishing.

@jcboy,
dj, Those bunny tails are too much. A herd of otters. Also too much.

High Seas, The mass of dolphins is wonderful.

jc, Glad to hear it.

Red-breasted robins may be an essential part of Christmas, but their distinctive plumage has far greater significance for the birds themselves, a study has shown. The red breast varies in size and colouration with age and sex, suggesting it may communicate information about its owner, scientists believe. Photograph: David Jones/PA

@msolga,
olga, Not an American robin. If it wasn't labeled, I wouldn't recognize it. Sweet little thing. Love dem boids. Thanks, kid.

Robin redbreast from my neck of the woods:

@Roberta,
The photograph (of the robin) is from a British publication, Roberta.
So most likely it's a British robin.
Yes, a sweet little thing, I agree. Smile
The US robin looks like an entirely different boid.

@msolga,
..... though also a sweet looking boid! Smile

Though more sleek and streamlined than the little UK chunky boid. Wink

@msolga,
olga, The first time I saw one of those cuties, I thought that it wasn't a robin. I was wrong.

@msolga,
our robin (North America) is one of the harbingers of spring, you know it's not far away when the robins appear, they are gone in the winter

@djjd62,
dj, That bunny is a little scary looking. Didn't know bunnies could be intimidating. The gray fur looks soft. Otter doesn't look thrilled either. Do they have the holiday blues?

@djjd62,
Very grateful for the warning, dj. Very grateful. The otter ain't bad either.

BTW, I watched the sloth baby show on Animal Planet. Major disappointment. Not the babies. The sloth babies were too cute. But the show was focused on something else. Got me a little upset.
