A weird penguin and a weirder documentarian

Wild women of yesteryear

I recently came across some vintage postcards and noticed an interesting motif. Thank you ladies, for making my job look easy.

Man is mauled by lions...and loves every minute

Monkey See Monkey Do!

Found photograph.

My friend Phil gave me this picture because his dad is a collector of all things old and filled with character, including boxes of found photographs and negatives. Unfortunately not too much is known about the origins of this photograph, which leaves me to wonder about these men with their hats and trusty companions and if perhaps they might be resting after a hard day's work building the biggest doghouse their dusty midwestern town has ever seen. 

A day at the zoo.

I was admiring this Red Panda from far above and then suddenly he climbed right up to my level to let me get a good shot with my 50mm lens.


These Kori Bustard birds are supposed to be shy, but this one came over to meet me and show me his puffed-out chest feathers. Could we call that flirting?


Lately, I've been thinking about my spirit animal and although I haven't decided yet, I want to put the Flamingo on my short list for their yogic abilities. These pink, social birds can stand on one foot for up to an hour at a time and like to take naps with their beaks tucked under their wings. I think they have a lot they could teach me.

Impressive.

The worlds largest  litter of 18 Dalmatian pups is now 11 weeks old. Here they are going for a walk with their (probably very tired at the time) owner Adam West.  Can you imagine having all those extra mouths to feed these days? I guess they couldn't either because West and his wife decided to only keep two of the little guys, Red Boy and Ruldolph. They admit to crying when the others left for their new homes, but wanted to make sure they had the "best start in life." Touching.  Read more about it here.
