My gorillas would eat them kittens for breakfast :devil:

(Kitten photos should've been banned from this competition. In fact, banned from the net in general :-p )

They have to catch them first! ok, maybe the little one.

You never saw "Them"? And a tapeworm can easily exceed 6 feet when held vertically.

...and tapeworms are segmented worms, not insects.

Is too! I think s/he lives under my deck (or I hope that's what I hear rustling around under there :rolleyes:). I'm still waiting for DocToxyn to come along and tell me what type of froggy it is. I think I posted the more washed out looking photo last time, because it was more of a close-up. This one came out more vivid (I took about 5 pictures of it, playing with different exposure settings and with/without flash, etc., before it got annoyed and hopped away).

Yes, it certainly is an animal and I think it's a green frog, Rana clamitans, but it's hard to tell from that angle. The only other species would be bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. You need to check for the presence or absence of dorso-lateral ridges (they run on the back from the eyes to the caudal area), the green frog will have them. The only other way is to get him to call for you (if its a male)...I'll leave it up to Moonbear how she wants to proceed with that...:biggrin:

Ehhh... some not so much. What the hell are those things clinging to the guy's fingers about half-way down page 1? I've never seen primates that small. :confused:

'Insect', when applied to a person (or in this case a Yomamma), indicates a generic pest of non-specific taxonomic classification. :-p

Haha, well I meant most of them. There were some that just looked kind of creepy, but the vast majority of them were adorable.

Agreed. That flying ninja kitten just blew me away.

I think that's a pygmy marmoset. Here's http://is3.okcupid.com/users/982/564/9835652531401444900/mt1142230343.jpg , it's the one clinging to blade of grass

Today I violated every safety rule and instinctively braked hard to let a chipmunk across the road. There's one little guy that made it another day. I do this pretty routinely, because I ride a motorcycle on every good day and hitting even relatively small animals like porcupines and raccoons can mess up your day on a bike. :redface: Chipmunks are pretty tiny, but I have a soft spot for animals, and will do what I can for them if I'm not being tailgated by the vehicle behind me. I have stopped my bike and helped snapping turtles across the road - and they do NOT appreciate the help, although it might help another generation hatch and survive!

Edit: although I am a bit nervous about having gnawing animals living in my cellar, a mother squirrel that raids our bird-feeders has parked her babies in our cellar. They are really cute, but as soon as they are old enough to move on, I will secure the place with epoxy paste, etc, to keep them out. The little ones are really brave, having not yet learned to fear humans.

you can't take the sky from me
Until the sisterhood drags you kicking and screaming into "It's a Small World" and leaves you trapped there, no more sky, just thousands of wannbe Chucky dolls, and "It's a Small World" song playing over and over and over...

Definitely not a bullfrog. It wasn't "bumpy" enough for that. I'll look up some photos of Rana clamitans and see if it looks like the fellow that came to visit.

Edit: Yep, that's it! Thanks. Really cute little critter. I really liked the irridescent patch on its cheeks. Pretty.

Thanks, Swerve. Jeez, we have marmosets here and the bloody things are the size of a beagle.

scorpa said:
http://www.babyanimalz.com/images/pic13648.jpg what the heck are those? those were one of the few things on that site that were definitely not cute.
I might not know a pygmy marmoset when I see it, but I'm pretty sure that these little buggers are hedgehogs.

Yes they are cute! Awwwwwwwwwww! They're baby hedgehogs. How adorable. :smile:
 
  • #91
Ok I thought that's what they might have been but I've never seen a hedgehog before so I wasn't sure.

Saw this little fellow at an aquarium a couple of weeks ago.

Great timing! The shutter in my Camedia 3040 has a frustrating delay, making action shots like this tough. Now, why would they display the killer whale show on that big TV? I can see it if they've got a cute routine going with a sea otter, but killers are hard to miss. :confused:

Yeah... the real ones are bigger than the picture. Maybe they're taping the performance anyhow, and figure that they might as well show it while the signal's running.

I'm just amazed by the synchronization of those animals. It's almost flawless.

Much more synchronized than the people, no?

They're just waiting for someone to give them the signal to eat the treat they're balancing on their nose. :biggrin: :devil:

Quite simply the most darlingest beast that ever there was, her true nature being revealed by the flash.
