picture of the day!

Sorry Anivid, but they are not all finger monkeys. Number 3 is a lesser known Finger Wookie!

And Alchemist, I hope that guy didn't know his kid had hitched a ride, otherwise his father of the year nomination is cancelled!

I'll take the second monkey from the top. He has some green coloring in his fur, and he looks so cuddly cute. I will name him Rocky Raccoon.

Donkey: "Hey, my load is getting lighter".

[hopewrites]

Well. That's one way to sit down...

[anivid]

Oh - la, la - from monkey to donkey - hope it enjoys its ride :-)

Alchemist - it seems to be the same principle in use for the kid transportation as those plastic boards same kids are using in the snow down a hill or something - and they just l-o-o-ve it :-)

I've seen that donkey picture before, used to describe the debt-load of the average North American.

It's just so wrong to bear your ass on the internet.

Unusual Display of Motherhood

There have been many cases in which animals took in cubs that didn’t belong to them, or even their species, like this adorable little pig(http://"http://www.odditycentral.com...a-piggy.html"]). But I’ve never seen a monkey taking so well to a couple of tiger cubs before.

After Hurricane Hannah ravaged the state of South Carolina, the tigers of one of the zoos started acting very aggressive and were considered a danger to their young. So these two white tiger cubs were separated from their mother and adopted by a 2-year-old chimpanzee. As you can see from the photos he’s really taking parenting seriously. I wonderhow their relationship will evolve…

[Vertigo]

Let's just hope the tigers don't figure they should be swinging around in the trees. That would end in tears!

Sorry JM - I have to admit, I only skimmed the text before I posted it to explain the pictures. I consider my wrist well and truly slapped.

Moving on . . . .

For tonight, a photo taken by yours truly - whilst I enjoyed a glass of wine with hubby in the garden this evening, we were joined by a beautiful creature who obviously felt very relaxed in our company:

[alchemist]

Did your guest get to share your wine?


Because sometimes the drink is shared indiscriminately...

[anivid]

That fox is real cute, SF - may be it used to lay there, but you just now discovered cause you're not used to "sitting in the garden" ??

Alch - beer & violence & - chauvinist in spe ??

Cocooning - summer cocoon

[Starbeast]

Those chimp and tiger pictures are so sweet. I'd like to see photos of them together when the tigers are grown up.

"What's with all the monkey business mama?", says one of the teenage tigers.

Check out this jumping spider (common where I live). He looks like he's smiling.

[anivid]

Definitely smiling - and modern hairstyle too.
Nice guy I'ld say - do you like him ??
