Beautiful Animals

You know who was likely responsible for the placement of that mine, Barry. Those dickheads, those criminals that you often post on this pages. If this one wasn't one of theirs, well, they get lots of other innocents daily.

BUMP

humongous bump!!!!!!

I now have seen why the bumps are required.

Work, work, work. Gang, Thank you all for the magnificent pics. Too tired tonight to mention each one--with one exception. Barry, the mother dog touched my heart. I'm such a softy.

Great barracuda (very silvery):

Fighting Stallions - South Dakota

Green Snake

Sleepy Lion Brothers

Swimming Macaque

Ural Owls

Peacock - Sarasota, Florida

snood, Overwhelmed. Not plotzing. Just overwhelmed. The horses are magnificent. Wow. I believe that the beautiful green snake is a python. Lions are cats. Cats sleep, rest, nap, snooze. Why not lions? I checked on the macaques (snow monkeys). They actually do swim. Whoda thunk? The mother and baby owls are beauties. Hey, ma. My ear itches. Dem peacocks is showoffs. So Gorgeous. Like lace. Stunning. Thanks for all the great pics.

The biggest PC on the planet, the siberian tiger. An adult male can weigh over 650 pounds. That's one big PC:



(Tilons and ligers are bigger, but I'm not counting them.)

Very touching! Great story Sir Barry.

The wildebeest migration is one of the most awaited and spectacular events of the year. The whole journey takes approximately 2900 KMs with a large number dying and a large number given birth to. Thousands and thousands of tourists visit Africa just to witness this great natural event!

That's on my bucket list!

Not yet.The cull has been delayed (due to weather) till next year,giving more time for folks to to state their case in the courts.BTW,the reason the farmers want them culled is because the powers that be say they spread tuberculosis to cows.
