Black and White Colobus Monkey
Slender-snouted Crocodile
Spectral Tarsier
Oh. I didn’t see you there. I was just being a super suave Spectral Tarsier.
Spotted Shag
The Spotted Shag is a coastal bird with yellow feet and lovely spotted plumage only found in New Zealand. So, check ’em out on your way to Mordor.
Lear’s Macaw
There aren’t many animals which are truly blue. There are also few animals who use their saliva to breakdown sandstone in order to build a nest. That’s what the Lear’s Macaw does. Super Spit.
Stoat
On this Independence Day, we celebrate the stoat.
An animal so suave you want to wear him as a coat.
Mule
Mules make me drool
Because they are super cool.
Brown-headed Cowbird
I’m an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain’t bowed and my cheeks ain’t tan
I’m a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer cause I don’t know how
Sure ain’t a fixin to start in now
Yippie yi yo kayah
This is a photo of my mother with her two brothers dressed as a cowgirl. The photo was probably taken in 1948 when my mom was about two years-old. Everyone loves dressing as a cowboy/girl, whether your a human or a bird.
Sheepshead
I don’t know anyone who enjoys going to the dentist. You have to sit there, wearing a paper bib, with a person’s hand in your mouth. If left unchecked, I find myself holding on to the the armrests for dear life. It’s an effort to relax and let the dental hygienist do her thing while remaining composed. Again–you have a person’s hand in your mouth.
I think about this when I’m fishing with my dad and brother. Especially when we catch Sheepshead. It’s startling to see their mouths: full of human-looking teeth. No, I don’t mean their teeth look like tiny humans. They look like human teeth. Behold…
VA Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)
Imagine having to do a bi-annual cleaning in that mouth.
