Beautiful Animals

Afternoon nap....

Never mind. The cub in the back isn't doing anything wrong. The mother's ear was in the way.

Barry, Thanks for the wonderful photo. Reminds me I need a nap.

Roboida,

I told you I was keeping an eye out for a beautiful animal to post on your board. Well I got one, though as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

This young critter looks much as my Pugsy did when he was a little tyke, except Pugs had no white on him.

Debacle, Adorable. And what's a carnivore doing eating watermelon. If that little flat-faced fluff ball looks like Pugsy, you got a winner. Thanks for keeping your eye out and for posting.

Red-headed trogon:

I remember Pugsy from way back.

That Red-headed Trogon is a beauty!

California Red-Sided Garter (for sure, for sure)

Ignoring my own penchant for not posting zoo photos, a complicated matter wherein I argue with myself, I gotta post this one -



All units, be advised, three-cub collision reported inside the Botanic Garden in Budapest. They're pretty tangled up. Might need to use the Paws of Life. Over ...

... On second thought, the cubs appear to be fine: Mom vetoes all rescue attempts at the Botanic Garden in Budapest.

A visit to the nursery is always ok, right?

A swamp canary....


but this is the kind of canary I grew up with....


BTW,I got that last pic from robirda.com ;-)

vonny, I think that's a lion mother and aunt/nanny. It's good to be in a pride. Always somebody around to give you a lick. Thanks for the pic.

Bill, Glad you like the trogon. It's a species I stumbled upon when I was looking for stuff for this thread. Not a dud in the bunch.

osso, Glad you disobeyed your own rule. Those are two wonderful pics. Love 'em.

Found Soul, THUD. Inured as I've become to cuteness, that little leopard did me in. Thanks.

Barry. Love dem boids. Two beauties. Robirda? Not me.

Albatross (bird with the largest windspan):

The babes are so much like kitties!

Cheetah at night -

HH, It looks like my thudding days are not over. In the case of the cubs, cute and beautiful. Mercy bow coo.

vonny, That cheetah looks a little startled. Turn the light off and let a feline sleep. Humans can be such pains in the patoot.

Wolf cub trying out a howl:

Oh my ....................... so adorable!!

Coyote pups:

Oh, they are adorable, Roberta. Love the really laid-back pup!
