@ossobuco,
A funny and cute educational (trivia) video about cuttlefish called "True Facts About the Cuttlefish."

It's from a series of youtube/buzzfeed videos narrated by a guy named Ze Frank. He's absolutely brilliant at this nature narration.

@Barry The Mod,
vonny, Is that an ant and a bubble? It's a wonderful shot. The lion father and baby is a breathtaker. Wow. I'm guessing that the snow-covered tiger is of the Siberian variety. Do Bengal tigers ever see snow?

tsar, I visited the naked mole rat exhibit at the Bronx Zoo. Fascinating stuff. The bat pic is a major doozy. And hanks for the cuttlefish vid.
osso, Thanks for the photo of the beautiful filly. I'm been to a number of racetracks. My favorite is the one in Saratoga.

FS, As much as I love the puppy, I gotta say that the red spaniel is a beauty.

FBM, What are we looking at? Very close up shots. It's hard to tell.

Hey, London. That is a wonderful looking sheep. OMG. I just fell in love with that border collie. Sigh. Great to see the dogs working. They are amazing. The video put me in mind of another bunch of border collies doing some extreme herding. See below.

Over the top sheepherding:

@Roberta,
That's a Holly Blue butterfly. While I was shooting it, I noticed the garden spider underneath. I don't know if that was a meal in the making or not. They weren't moving and I didn't feel like waiting to find out. Wink

@ vonny: I love those frogs in particular! Very Happy

@FBM,
It's funny, the frogs appear to have different personalities (she says, anthropomorphically).
