Beautiful Animals

Theme: snow

HH, Wonderful pic of the lemur. It's rare to see a photo of one of them at rest. I like the theme. I'm a snow fan (unless I have to walk around in it). The elusive snow leopard is a rare beauty. The Siberian tiger, the biggest of all the pussycats, and a real looker. I'm guessing that's a young snow monkey, but I'm not sure. The white bird, white fox, and pink tongue. A reeeeeally good photo. Timing is everything in the world of wildlife photography. Thanks for them all, kid.

Here's another one. Snowy owl taking off:

Sorry kid, you're still not tall enough for this ride.

serious, the lemur

on the Hitchens quote, I feel like I knew him.

Birds of paradise--mating dances. Takes your breath away.

hey you in the previous post, how's about some of that fish

dj, Was the first bunny in a fight? Why am I asking you? You don't know. Tres cute, overall. Thanks. Got to the second B&O. That bunny has very small ears. Love the otter. Alert and sharp looking.

Barry, Job well done, indeed. Find a warm spot, you good dog you.

HH, You've outdone yourself. The snail pic is amazing. And the others aren't close behind. The birds in motion is too much. I wonder what kind of birds they are.

Irish, That looks delish. Sushi--the sushiest.

He's licking his eyeball!

Weighing a Python in Australia. Her name is 'Atomic Betty'.

Now that's hilarious. Not that I'd want to be in that line.

Did you know the collective noun for meerkats is "mob"? Keeper Caroline Westlake is mobbed as she counts the meerkats at London Zoo for the annual animal census.

These slushies give me a headache: A pair of Sarus cranes pick up pieces of slush and ice as they scavenge for food at Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, Kan.

Let's compare markings: A monkey sits on a youth's shoulder during an eviction from Uruguay square in Asuncion, Paraguay. Members of the Ava Guarani ethnic group have been occupying the square for the last seven months, demanding land.
