A variety of frog eyes:
Very cool!BillTre said:A variety of frog eyes:
If you're a mother frog maybe...DennisN said:Very cool!
Wow, she must be very high up. I imagine a 1,000-year-old redwood would be astonishingly wide at the base? How long could she hang on in that position??BillTre said:Here's a nice picture of a human primate, in a tree (non-native environment).

The human primate, Julia Butterfly Hill, is in a 1,000-year-old, 180-foot-tall redwood in Humboldt County, California.
It's strange, but I have a strong, irrational love for those type of people -- even though I learned (the hard way) many years ago that they're usually serious nutcases.BillTre said:Trying to keep the tree from being cut down or something, I think.
Her posture reminds me of a lemer (non-human primate):
I think she, like the lemer, is sitting on a limb behind the trunk.strangerep said:How long could she hang on in that position??
Oh, yes, you're right. Still,... I wonder how long one's bumhole can be deprived of blood before it becomes a serious health risk.BillTre said:I think she, like the lemer, is sitting on a limb behind the trunk.
Lemurs are among my absolute favorite animals. They're small, beautiful and smart.BillTre said:Her posture reminds me of a lemer (non-human primate):
So do we know who won?DennisN said:An ant trying to take down a flying wasp (by Murat Öztürk) [...]
I don't. If the ant brings more ants to the next fight, he is upping the ante.strangerep said:So do we know who won?
That's a Bernese Mountain Dog, who's going to be meeting up with an orthopaedic surgeon, if he keeps doing that.fresh_42 said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a swiss breed?
Just long enough to get a few good photos. I think it's interesting that we tend not to think of the photographer (or camera set up) when we see photos like this. Also things like make up, hairstyles, etc.strangerep said:How long could she hang on in that position??
I think they are chordates but not vertebrates.BillTre said:Sea squits (and related animals) are related to chordates
Yes sir, you are correct!Vanadium 50 said:I think they are chordates but not vertebrates.
Beautiful. My very good friend informed me that the blackbird is a thrush not a crow. I have got mixed up somewhere down the line. Great picturesDennisN said:Another blackbird I found in the park.
I got lucky since this was one was pretty courageous and curious and came up close (ca 1-1.5 m from me).

Although this is usually the case with shooting animal pictures, its not always the case.DennisN said:With animals you have to be observant, sometimes fast (sometimes very fast), but also patient at the same time. But I think it's very fun, much more fun than I actually imagined it would be.
