Let’s Play Twenty Questions

But, nobody better pick things like dendropsophus ebraccatus.


Treefrog, vegetable or mineral, Brian Gratwicke ?

Juuust One More

Oh he can quit anytime, Stephanie F.

What a Prickly Eater

Meet Teddy, who prefers to dine alone and isn’t afraid to tell you why. (Actually, I think we all get like this when a waitress tries to take our food before we’re finished.)

Eye Don’t Like the Looks of This

Left eye: I‘m not seeing any flies! Right eye: On the contrary, I‘m getting buzzed!


We’re always open to opposing points of view, Brian G., and your Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris; Cinnamon-bellied Reed Frog.

*Chimp My Ride

So I was driving, and the Mrs. suddenly looked panicky, not the kind of panicky like when it’s late at night and I’m driving too fast on a curvy road we’ve never been on before and there are no other cars and the radio only gets one station and it plays that droning new age tonal stuff and she’s been telling me this long story about when she was a kid at summer camp and…. and all of a sudden she notices I have fallen asleep at the wheel. Not that sort of panicky


Then the officer charged us with monk and disorderly driving.


Follow that monkey, johnhope14! *OK, it is not a chimp, it’s a macaque. How about a little gibbon take here.

Most defi-NUT-ly

Aaah! Look! It’s a hoarder!

And just how many beanie babies do you have, hmmmm?


Thanks to Ingrid Taylar for these great photos of a very cute pack rat Fox Squirrel!

Sound Like Anybody You Know?

Snow weasel – “…they are also solitary and territorial. Neither sex will allow another weasel of the same sex in their home territory, though males will tolerate the presence of multiple females.”


There’s no business like stoat business, Robert A.

Doe Unto Others

Photos that have been making the rounds – check out the latest trend in good deed deer delivery detail duties.

These four photographs are bound to elicit an “awwww” from most of you.


Really deer, the guest services do seem a little stag-nant on the Li-doe deck.


Passing the buck – you’re doing it right, Mister.


So long, and thanks for all the fish.


Thank you, Eddie B., for the most endeering CO racks post yet.

Bravely Bold Sir Late Alot

Stand aside! I have come to trick or treat! Forsooth, where is the sacred candy I seek?! All that awaits me here is rocks. My liege, has my quest across the length and breadth of the land been for nothing?

All we have are leftover raisins and some pretzels, Marie D.

And Now, a Chicken Riding a Tortoise

Look, we don’t know why, OK? Sometimes these things just happen.
