Eudorcas thomsonii
a fairly small and elegant gazelle. It is one of the fastest land animals.
These are mainly grazers and prefer cropped grasses . So they have benefitted in the Serengeti/Masai Mara area from the increase in the number of Wildebeest. When needed these gazelle will also browse.
Many thanks for your views, favorites and supportive comments.

Zion National Park
Springdale

Just after coming into the park there is a visitor center. A trail leads off of the visitor center, and on the beginning of the trail there were three female mule deer browsing on trees. They were very close, but hidden off to the side. They seem to have become habituated to people visiting the park. In all my time in the parks I visited, I never saw a male mule deer.
The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. There are believed to be several subspecies including the black-tailed deer.
Unlike the related white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River, and more specifically with the Rocky Mountain region of North America. - Wikipedia
Male greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a woodland antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. It is one of the largest species of antelope. Bulls weigh 190–270 kg (420–600 lb). The bulls also have beards running along their throats, and large horns with two and a half twists.

Peacock sunning in the morning light
Browsing the grass, preening, browsing some more
Spectacular feathers kept immaculate
Wax on... Wax off...
Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!
I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.
Actually, one could spend many hours in the pretty little town of Mahone Bay, browsing the quaint little shops and cafes....a great place to find artwork and jewellry, antiques and nautical treasures, and the best shoe store around! We arrived at dark and Wayne stopped for coffee so I grabbed a chance to capture the calm scene across the road.
Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus
It is a bird of open woodlands with trees and ground cover for nesting, including most importantly birch, alder, and willow habitats. The nest is usually built in close contact with the ground, often in low vegetation. Like most Old World warblers (Sylviidae), this small passerine is insectivorous. In northern Europe, it is one of the first warblers to return in the spring though is later than the closely related chiffchaff.
It is a typical leaf warbler in appearance, 11–12.5 cm long and 7–15 g weight. It is greenish brown above and off-white to yellowish below; the wings are plain greenish-brown with no wingbars. Juveniles are yellower below than adults. It is very similar to the chiffchaff, but non-singing birds can be distinguished from that species by their paler pinkish-yellow legs (dark brown to blackish in chiffchaff), longer paler bill, more elegant shape and longer primary projection (wingtip). Its song is a simple repetitive descending whistle, while the contact call is a disyllabic 'hoo-eet', distinct from the more monosyllabic 'hweet' of chiffchaffs.
Willow warblers prefer young, open, scrubby woodland with small trees, including human-altered habitats such as coppice and young plantations up to 10–20 years old. High amounts of birch, alder and willow, with good lichen amounts, and water features (e.g. streams), fields with large amounts of bracken and mosses, and patches of low bramble (for nest cover) are preferred, but it will use a wide range of other species, including young or open coniferous forests. Incorporating woodland ride edge thickets is beneficial, as is 15 metre woodland edges of varying structure and height. They prefer damp woodland areas. Thicket forming shrubs like blackthorn provide pockets of habitat. Deer browsing can degrade the required low cover.
It's hard to believe that an animal as large as a moose survives on willows and birch shoots for food. In the spring of the year, they love to eat the tender new brances and small trees. They also love to feed on vegetation that grows on the bottom of ponds. I am not sure if the vegetaion is more tasty or if it is a way to eat without the constant biting of mosquitoes.
The moose do not have upper teeth in their mouth. They rely on molars, both upper and lower to chew their food.
This cow is enjoying her meal of fresh tender red shoots of a willow, It's almost easy to think she has a smile on her face.

The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee), also called Asian buffalo, Asiatic buffalo and wild buffalo, is a large bovine native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 3,400. A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue. 3,100 live in India, mostly in Assam. The wild water buffalo is the most likely ancestor of the domestic water buffalo.
The wild water buffalo occurs in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, and Cambodia, with an unconfirmed population in Myanmar. It is associated with wet grasslands, swamps, flood plains and densely vegetated river valleys. Tigers, mugger crocodiles and Asian black bears feed on adult wild water buffaloes.
In India, it is largely restricted to in and around Kaziranga, Manas and Dibru-Saikhowa National Parks, Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary and Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary and in a few scattered pockets in Assam.
Wild water buffaloes are both diurnal and nocturnal. They are probably grazers by preference, feeding mainly on graminoids when available. They also eat other herbs, fruits, and bark, as well as browsing on trees and shrubs. They also feed on crops, including rice, sugarcane, and jute, sometimes causing considerable damage. – Wikipedia
The advantage of no fences. Two young Black-tailed deer dropped by after sunset to browse the red-twig dogwood and other delicacies. The black-tailed deer lives along the Pacific coast, and is smaller than a mule deer, but is related to a Sitka deer, according to Wikipedia.
A closer photo of the mature buck posted earlier which I watched on a vast area of open heathland rounding up and leading its young away, seen here wonderfully camouflaged in the bracken right up to the top of its antlers.
Thank you all for your kind responses.

Giraffes favor eating the leaves and twigs of Acacia trees. This tree is armed with big, white, sharp thorns to protect its juicy leaves from attackers. Giraffes, however, are not deterred by these thorns and they use their long maneuverable tongues and tough lips to get around them.

Took this photo at Luane's World, (in Second Life) near the access bridge to the residents area -- so much to see here, would be a wonderful place for an afternoon nap.

One of our regular Coal Tits.
I heard on the radio they take food away and save it for later.
They are certainly always busy with their take aways.
A doe and her fawn browse the spring hillside for edibles. Fortunately for them, anything they put in their mouth is edible in this lush environment. This is a companion image to the one I posted yesterday--same time, same place--a little more intimate, with hopefully the same peaceful easy feeling of gentle beings going about their business.

This image captures a moment of retail browsing. A woman, likely an adult, is standing outside a shop, intently looking at the window display. The shop appears to specialize in toys and novelties, as evidenced by the numerous stuffed animals and other items visible inside. The shop's branding is playful and eye-catching, with the name 'LABUBU' repeated in a vibrant, cartoonish font. The woman's attire – a long, flowing dress – contrasts with the playful nature of the shop's aesthetic.
I accidentally deleted this as I was trying to figure out what was wrong with flickr ( it was showing my image to me but no comments or favs and a message said " try again " )
I think it might have been a browser problem as I was using firefox ... I reloaded it and I am now using Google Chrome and it seems to be fine . I apologize for the inconvenience.
Elk are one member of the deer family that both graze (eat grasses) and browse (eat leaves).
The bulls (or more properly, stags) are quite docile in the summer and are either loners or hang out with other bulls in small groups. In the fall, during the rut, the bulls are unpredictable and dangerous and should not be approached.
