This is a male Grizzly Bear looking rather grumpy and stern. You can just about see he is a male by the penile tuft between his back legs. Females have a similar tuft below the tail. He appeared on the far side of the river but seemed to know that we were watching as he stomped off into the forest with a look of disdain on his frowning face. He didn't even bother to catch a salmon. Some bears are quite happy to catch salmon just a few metres away but like humans, they have different personalities and this one was not relaxed near humans. I say "near", but we were probably more than 100m away from him sitting very quietly. This one looked pretty mean as he had a collapsed ear through fighting. I remember boxers and rugby players often had "cauliflower ears". Is that a thing? Or was it just an expression my Mum used? Come to think of it I don't recall anyone apart from my Mum using it. Just checked and it is a thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauliflower_ear
And finally, does this broad stride and backwards glance remind anyone of that famous Bigfoot photo? : www.flickr.com/photos/oscarjthompson/5082275196/in/photolist

This is Walter Matthau reborn in an animal. I loved the 1993 film Grumpy Old Men starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and this warthog is definitely a reincarnation of Walter.

Got lots of different shots of this bunny. Did not know what one to share so picked this one because you can kind of see my reflection in his eye if you look close enough. He aslo looked a little grumpy which I thought was funny

So I was sitting peacefully in the terrasse enjoying the sun, and suddenly I notice this cat staring at me... So, I told them somehow to wait till I get the camera. We did. Here's the result. Enjoy!

Pallas's cat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallas%27s_cat ~ The Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), also called manul, is a small wild cat with a broad but fragmented distribution in the grasslands and montane steppes of Central Asia. It is negatively affected by habitat degradation, prey base decline, and hunting, and has therefore been classified as Near Threatened by IUCN since 2002.
The Pallas's cat was named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who first described the cat in 1776 under the binomial Felis manul.
Characteristics ~ The Pallas's cat is about the size of a domestic cat, its body is 46 to 65 cm (18 to 26 in) long and its tail is 21 to 31 cm (8.3 to 12.2 in) long. It weighs 2.5 to 4.5 kg (5.5 to 9.9 lb). The combination of its stocky posture and long, dense fur makes it appear stout and plush. Its fur is ochre with dark vertical bars on the torso and forelegs. The winter coat is greyer and less patterned than the summer coat. There are clear black rings on the tail and dark spots on the forehead. The cheeks are white with narrow black stripes running from the corners of the eyes. The chin and throat are also white, merging into the greyish, silky fur of the underparts. Concentric white and black rims around the eyes accentuate their rounded shape. The legs are proportionately shorter than those of other cats, the ears are set very low and wide apart, and it has unusually short claws. The face is shortened compared with other cats, giving it a flattened face. The pupils are circular. The shorter jaw has fewer teeth than is typical among cats, with the first pair of upper premolars missing, but the canine teeth are large.
Distribution and habitat ~ Pallas's cats are native to the steppe regions of Central Asia, where they inhabit elevations of up to 5,050 m (16,570 ft) in the Tibetan Plateau. They also inhabit some parts of Mongolia, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kashmir, and occur across much of western China. They also are found in the Transbaikal regions of Russia, and less frequently, in the Altai, Tyva, and Buryatia Republics. In 1997, they were reported for the first time as being present in the eastern Sayan Mountains.
Until the early 1970s, only two Pallas's cats were recorded in the Transcaucasus, both encountered near the Araks River in northwestern Iran, but no records existed from Azerbaijan. Populations in the Caspian Sea region, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, are thought to be declining and becoming increasingly isolated.
In recent years, several Pallas' cats were photographed for the first time during camera trapping surveys:
in Iran's Khojir National Park in 2008;
in the Eastern Himalayas: in Bhutan's Wangchuck Centennial Park in April 2012;[10] and above 4,100 m (13,500 ft) in the Jigme Dorji National Park in autumn 2012;
in Pakistan's Qurumber National Park above 3,400 m (11,200 ft) in July 2012;
in Nepal's Annapurna Conservation Area above 4,200 m (13,800 ft) in December 2012 and December 2013.
I'm not sure what this lapwing was looking so grumpy about. They are quite strange-looking birds. This was taken at Pardoo Station, a working cattle station (= ranch) that also provides large amounts of camping and some basic accommodation. Most of the campers were there for the fishing - when the tide is right the fishing is apparently really good (the north-west of WA has some huge tides - we never saw the sea at all while at Pardoo as we didn't get our timing right). A good place to stop for a few days although next time we might try camping at Cape Keruadren.
