Share Animal Pictures: For Animal Lovers

Come on over and practice! I have heard that there are travel agencies that offer visits to Germany only to drive on our highways.

I remember when I came back from the US, I tried to drive the same way and obeyed the rules - for two days. I was a moving obstacle. On day three I decided to become a comoving observer again.

Most drivers on the M1 near where I live do indeed keep roughly to the speed limit, since there are many radar traps. The problem is more about large trucks that insist on driving ridiculously close behind me. I wish someone would invent radar devices that could detect such people not maintaining a reasonable gap.

Quiz Question: When you see a cute baby animal, of a large and dangerous animal, running toward you, what should you do?

Look around for its mum. And/or whatever it's running away from.

Look around for its mum. And/or whatever it's running away from.

But what if its mum is a short distance behind you, and the baby is actually running towards her ?

I'd say get your weapon ready to fire -- you might only get one chance...
(Have you seen "The Revenant"?)

I know exactly what you mean .
I loved the movie. Occasionally very bloody and violent, but a great movie.

Esox is the group of fish that contains pikes and pike-like fish.
These are teeth in the mouth, but not on the jaws.

Spoiler

Move sideways quickly. That gives you the best chance of not encountering mama bear, and keeping the little bearlet from still heading at you. Keep your head on a swivel...

Decent, not great, but, decent photo-shop/chop.

Yes, I realized that a bit later. The claws are awful.

Much better than the "eagle in the snow" ... ghastly.

An axolotl, originally from the Mexico city area, were they are almost extinct due to extreme changes in their environment.
They make nice little pets and can be bred in aquariums.

Sorry to ask, but is that not an AI generated one?

I don't know. It's cute anyway.

Pic is fake. The original has a cow.

Oh, that's dissapointing. I could just hear the Roll Call Sergeant now, reminding the officers to check their vehicles before leaving for shift...
