Orlando Predators at Pittsburgh Power Arena Football (AFL) at Consol Energy Center, Pittsburgh PA - May 5, 2013
Thanks to widespread domestication and their fondness for hunting for the hell of it, the common housecat is the most predatory animal (in terms of how many different kinds of animals they kill) in the world.

Cheetah ...
Acinonyx jubatus
The cheetah plays an important role as a predator on the African savannah. The fastest animal on land, the cheetah can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour over short distances. A sleek body, flexible backbone, long legs, non-retractable claws, and muscular tail assist the cheetah during high speed chases. The dark tear mark below a cheetah’s eye, called a malar stripe, attracts the sunlight and keeps the glare of the sun out of its eyes. Once the cheetah is within striking distance of its prey, it swipes at the prey’s hind legs with its front paw and strong dewclaw to trip and knock it to the ground. Then it closes off the prey’s windpipe to suffocate it. Exhausted after the chase, the cheetah must rest for a while to recover.

This rather magnificent metal figure of the Predator was on display in Lynmouth. It appears to be made out of motorbike parts, and was rather brilliant! My mother has, not surprisingly, never seen the film, but I think would have taken him on. On this occasion she showed mercy, though, and we just made donations to Help for Heroes instead! :-)
Osprey very surprised to see me poke my head around the corner of a building at the Marina in Florida & get a quick snap. . . This was the only shot I was able to get before he was gone !!
Thanks for Looking :)
Another attempt at conveying the size and grotesque nature of the Grand Arcade's oversized Christmas decorations.
