There is cute, People, and there is Beyond. Please check out this L.B.T. (Little Baby Trunkster) tentatively snorfing some behbeh boids. Yes, another typical day on the African Plains. In the way nature Pixar intended. [facepalm]
WTF, Arbroath!
Tentative Snorfing, Brought to you by Pixar
August 20, 2012 By
very cute…
I don’t understand. If this is brought to us by Pixar, does that mean this isn’t real? Sorry I need my hand held here and explained to me.
It’s SURREAL, MISCHIEF GIRL! SURREAL!!!
That’s a bird stuck in trunk accident just waiting to happen.
Do you think the Trunkster is all: Snorf
And the baby bird is all: Vrooom! (sucked up into vaacuum trunk)
and the Trunkster is all: Mmmm, smells birdlicious!
He (or she) is just precious! Is that a smile I see?
Hello! Welcome to Africa. We are not baby birds. We are Cattle Egrets. We like to hang around large herbivores (vegans). When they walk they startle crunchy, tasty, delicious insects which we eat (we’re not vegans).
One of us is using the trunk line to communicate. We’re telling the hefalumps to get moving.
The birds are short because they’ve been trunk-ated.
I believe these are YOUNG Cattle Egrets. If you look at other pictures with adult elephants, you will see that these birds are much larger than this. These birds also look like juveniles.
Sooo… perhaps this is some sort of Serengeti day care center? Sign me up!
The things we learn on C.O.!

Hello! Welcome to Florida. We have some similar white boids, including some egrets, here, as well. I think some of them have conversations, with gators who are not particularly hungry.
Cattle Egret – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_Egret
The Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family ….
bred in Florida in 1953, and spread rapidly, breeding for the first time in Canada ..
PS: the part which amazes me, is that they wander about really yucky/ mucky, brackish, semi-swampish water yet stay as blindingly shiny-white as though just out of a bleach wash or sewn with silk white embroidery thread.
The problem here Fird Birfle, is that Florida does NOT have the cute little baby elephants to go with the white boids. If it did, I would not have moved.
ah, okay !!!
*begins searching the innernets to see, where in Fla (the zoos perhaps? Busch Gardens in Tampa/ St. Pete??) there might be a bebbeh grey trunkie-kid*
You can see them at Busch and here at Animal Kingdom Safari. On good days, they play in the pool that is supposed to act as a divider to keep them out of the road! Yes, the birds are around, too.
EYELASHES!!
