@Roberta,
An unexpected present for you: while working with some equations I came across this cheetah picture used as a demo for the Second Law:

Quote:
....The overall process is pictured as flows of energy that gradually and naturally select the more effective, steeper paths. In biology, this physical consequence, which can be deduced from Lyapunov stability criterion, is known as the competitive exclusion principle.

“Let us assume that a mutation happens to improve the speed of a cheetah,” he added as an example...

Jay Leno cuddling a sleepy baby Asian Brown Bear and feeding a ring-tailed lemur grapes. Tres cute.

@MontereyJack,
dj, That's one fuzzy bunny. Glad to see the otter is keeping its ear to the ground.

High Seas, Not only a treat, but a relative. That's my second cousin twice removed--Lester. His mother always used to say to him, "What's the hurry?" You go, Les.

MJ, Thanks for the link. Loved the jaguar. When will he become dangerous? Now!

@Roberta,
Nobody knows if this baby aardvark is a boy or a girl.

@tsarstepan,
hmmmmm.

what to do if there is no aardvark sexer available in your area...?

I guess just wait and see if it starts humping your leg...

@djjd62,
tsar, It looks like a boy to me. Why? Not a clue. Hey, I have a fifty percent chance of being right. Thanks for the video. Cute little sucker.

dj, Your wish is my command. I enjoyed. Thanks, kid.

@Butrflynet,
Butrflynet, I'm a lover of dogs and horses. I very much enjoyed the video. It reminded me of how big horses are. Sometimes I forget.

Speaking of big horses, here's a percheron:

@djjd62,
dj, Dem's mighty cute Bs. I had no idea that Os could climb trees.

Cheetahs are not known for climbing trees either:

Nor are lions:

http://cache.virtualtourist.com/6/3708002-Tree_Climbing_Lions_Ishasha.jpg

And we all know that dogs absolutely positively do not climb trees:

except for the ones that do.
