"Luna Park's Wild Mouse was first installed in 1962, and although it has been disassembled and removed on several occasions, it has always returned. After the closure of Wonderland Sydney in 2004, the Wild Mouse became the only permanent roller coaster in New South Wales."

WILD TURKEY-03206085.jpg
In the wild -- almost 25 years ago this was atop a cake I got in a supermarket around Thanksgiving. It has quite a story to tell, and I've kept it for that reason. He now lives year-round in my kitchen.

Lobby card for the film, "Wild Wild Weng," starring the late Filipino actor & martial artist, Weng Weng.
Weng Weng was born as Ernesto de la Cruz on September 7, 1957 in Baclaran, Philippines. He was diagnosed with primordial dwarfism and was only 2’ 9” tall as an adult. His family lovingly nicknamed him “Weng Weng” due to his size. This term was often used to refer to small dogs…
He made his first film appearance in the 1972 Filipino film, “Go Tell It On the Mountain,” in which the 15-year old Weng Weng portrayed baby Moses. During this time, he became heavily involved in martial arts with aspirations of becoming a fighter.
During the 1970’s, Weng Weng played numerous cameo roles in a string of low budget films. In 1980, he made his big break by appearing in the big budget Filipino film, “The Quick Brown Fox.”
In 1982, Weng Weng appeared as Agent 00 in the James Bond spoof, “For Your Height Only,” followed by “The Impossible Kid of Kung Fu” in 1983. These films were hugely successful and resulted in Weng Weng being signed to a lucrative movie contract.
Agent 00 worked for Interpol and pursued international criminals. Through his use of martial arts and detective skills, Agent 00 rounded up these criminals and brought them to justice. He also wooed the hearts of many lovely ladies along the way.
During the height of his film career, Weng Weng became a celebrity throughout the Philippines. He made numerous TV appearances, was featured on talk shows, and appeared at numerous film festivals and political rallies. In 1990, he was given a special award by the First Lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos, for his contributions to the Filipino film industry.
By the late 1980’s, Weng Weng’s acting career came to an end and he fell on financial hard times. He died of a heart attack on August 29, 1992 in Pasay City, Philippines at the age of 34 years and was buried in the Pasay City Cemetery…
Where seen? This large hairy beast is quite common in our wilder places but rarely seen as they are shy. It is more active in the early morning and late evening. Several may gather under fruiting trees to forage for fallen fruits.
It is the largest resident land mammal in Singapore and found in forest, scrubland and mangroves. According to Baker, it was believed to be extinct in Singapore, and current populations were probably started by individuals swimming in from Malaysia across the Johor Straits. They are found on Pulau Ubin, Pulau Tekong and the Western Catchment Area and also recorded in Changi, Lim Chu Kang and the Central Catchment Area. Globally, these wild boar are found from Europe, north Africa and most of Asia.
Features: Head and body 1.5-2m, up to 200kg. Typical pig-shaped covered with bristly hairs with a mane on the neck and back that bristles upright when the animal is threatened. Adults have long canine teeth (tusks) and are generally dark greyish brown. Wild boar males are generally solitary, but females and their young live in groups. They are shy and generally avoid humans. But they can be aggressive when cornered. Mothers can be particularly dangerous when protecting their young. Wild boar can run fast. They can swim too!
Boar babies: The female gives birth to a litter of up to 8 babies. She builds a nest of branches, leaves and grass to shelter her young. Infants are brown with white stripes along the body, resembling watermelons.
What does it eat? It eats mainly tubers, roots and fruits. It also snacks on small animals. It may dig for roots and worms, using its strong, flexible snout.

Early California’s wild turkeys now occupy about 18 percent of our state, and are a highly valued upland game bird. Many Californians also enjoy watching them.
Between 5,000 and 6,000 feathers cover the body of an adult turkey in patterns called feather tracts. A turkey's feathers provide a variety of survival functions – they keep him warm and dry, allow him to fly, feel and show off for the opposite sex. The head and upper part of the neck are featherless, but if you look close, you can see little bumps of skin on the bare area.
Most of the feathers exhibit a metallic glittering, called iridescence, with varying colors of red, green, copper, bronze and gold. The gobbler, or male turkey, is more colorful, while the hen is a drab brownish or lighter color to camouflage her with her surroundings.
African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) photographed on the Kilimanjaro Safari in Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World.
While most of the African Wild Dogs where resting as my Safari vehicle passed by, this guy decided to sit up. The pack is made up of all brothers so his siblings just ignored him.
Do you have photos of critters from Disney's Animal Kingdom? I invite you to post them to my DAK Life List flickr Group.
This photos is from my archives. These lovely Tiger Lillies grow wild along the ditches and rivers in my area. I transplanted some into my garden last year and they are thriving. Hope you like them. They are one of my favorites.

All flowers are wild flowers.
I'm not a flowers or nature/landscape photos fan, but hey, these ones were too chaotic not to photograph.
