Saw this very large terrapin in the fens yesterday, is it a red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans? Looked around the size of a dinner plate; presumably someone's abandoned pet...
There are many special wildlife sights in Australia's Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, and this ranks very high among those sights for me. The exotic vigorous courtship display of the male Victoria's Riflebird, Ptiloris victoriae, is such a privilege to witness. Metallic highlights shimmer among the black plumage as his wings spread high and wide. Will she be impressed?
This isn't the more densely black shot I've taken of this bird many times before, but this one shows me details I've not seen before in the way his plumage moves during this display. The more I look at this shot the more I wonder if this is in fact a male that has NEARLY reached full adult plumage. From my research this occurs between 5 and 7 years old.

How many exotic locations did we have to visit to get this shot of a simple Carolina Wren ? Just one, outside my kitchen window as I passed by.
He is Aramis Maanfica, he is a red tabby coat Exotic Persian cat and has cooper eyes. Their human parents are so proud of him.

Nova found an unusual animal the other day. The other girls were quite scared of this little dragon-ish creature with a tail of fire. Nova however decided to befriend it - using Poe's after-breakfast-snack. While Poe didn't feel thrilled about this, the animal seemed to like it a lot, and all the girls were soon petting the animal and discussing names. They ended up naming the creature Pie (it came down to a vote, and Nova and Poe both voted for Pie, while London wanted the name to be Ptero, and Siria wanted it to be Fifi).
From the Lunar New Year display at the Muttart Conservatory. I didn't get the name of the orchid - anyone familiar with it?.

This is my souvenir to myself from the Museum of Art and History in Albuquerque, NM. It is a male figure sitting with face paint in the style of Lagunillas in the interpretation of the funeral.
The interpretation on the card that came with the statue was translated very poorly, so I just added the first paragraph above. It explained well enough what it is.
