The masked lapwing (Vanellus miles), also known as the masked plover and often called the spur-winged plover or just plover in its native range, is a large, common and conspicuous bird native to Australia, particularly the northern and eastern parts of the continent, New Zealand and New Guinea. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food such as insects and worms and has several distinctive calls. There are two subspecies; the southern novaehollandiae has distinctive black markings on the shoulder and side of the chest, and is sometimes recognized as a separate species, the black-shouldered lapwing (Vanellus novaehollandiae). These brown-black, white and yellow plovers are common in Australian fields and open land. The masked lapwing is the largest representative of the family Charadriidae. It measures from 30 to 37 cm in length and has a wingspan of 75–85 cm. The nominate subspecies (V. m. miles) weighs 191–300 g, while the southern race (V. m. novaehollandiae) is larger and weighs 296–412 g. The birds have a wide range of calls which can be heard at any time of the day or night: the warning call, a loud defending call, courtship calls, calls to its young, and others. Since this bird lives on the ground it is always alert and even though it rests it never sleeps properly. Masked lapwings are most common around the edges of wetlands and in other moist, open environments, but are adaptable and can often be found in surprisingly arid areas. They can also be found on beaches and coastlines. 41891
The orang utan are a species of great apes that are native to Malaysia and Indonesia. Here at the Singapore Zoo, the resident orang utans here tend to be one of the most popular to zoo visitors over the years, charming many with its intelligence.
Pumas are athletic and agile. They hold the Guinness World Record for the highest jump by a mammal (23 feet straight up from a standstill).

Thank you for your views and comments. They are all greatly appreciated.
The Red-footed Booby is an agile flyer, but clumsy in takeoffs and landings. They are found widely in the tropics.
Au Lapin Agile (Agile Rabbit) is a very famous old cabaret located in the Montmartre section of Paris, and is across the street from the only remaining vineyard. The sign depicts a cheerful rabbit leaping nimbly out of a saucepan, holding a bottle of wine! My kind of guy! Many famous people from all over the world have spent an evening here....
Once the fall monsoons ramp up and scour the footprints of cows and Labor Day campers, I'll head back up to one of my favorite spots where every few years, the water levels in the lake are low enough to venture out onto the mud flats. I've only witnessed twice the algae that stretches between mud cracks, dried weeds, and rocks. It's space alien green and covers everything with a furry skin.

It is the largest and the only wallaby which can be found not only in Australia but also in New Guinea. This member of the kangaroo family is adapted to survive in dry environments. It compensates the lack of water from eating leaves, grasses, flowers, unripe fruits, bark and seeds. In the dry season, it digs into the soil to unearth moisture-laden roots. The agile wallaby also excavates dry water holes or creeks rather than risk drinking from a river where crocodiles lurk.
>>>>> Shortly after having given birth the agile wallabies mate again, and the fertilized ovule remains in the uterus – “to be used on demand” when there is enough and good food supply - so wallaby mothers do not need to invest much energy in re-breeding.

No yoga on Wednesday, so off I went to Dodge and Twiglet's agility training to watch the fun - old Dodgie constantly goes back to Dad, checking he's getting on alright - just come of our the weaves here, and asking if he's a good boy!

Agility lesson. Dog training town. Wirehaired Jack Russell Terrier puppy walking on a hanging rope ladder.
A swift and agile gun sloop for coastal and port defence. In a calm, such sloops may attack becalmed vessels, which are helpless to return fire. The 18 pounder at its bow can punch holes in all but the largest vessels, and the small mortar at the stern gives some extra firepower for long range engagements.
Apart from the 10 oars, the gun sloop is a swift sailor. The lug sail and mast can be stowed when not in use.

I went to Snellville Days today with my friend Jessica to photograph the disc dogs, but they had agility going on instead. Taken May 4, 2008.
This was our agility session earlier this evening...there's always one. Goodness knows why Blossom took it upon herself to go the wrong way round :) Bonus points for a critter, how about 3 bonus points for 3 critters, Crow? Well the photo made me smile...and I welcome any other caption suggestions.
