Elephant lovers on Facebook. In case you didn't know, all elephant herds are females and the young. Like many large animals the males are usually solitary until mating season.
Another favorite animal for me is the river otter. Sea otters are also great!

Last year this exploring bunny came into our lawn.

Have fun with your animals...pets and those who greet you along the way. Long days mean hours of sunshine mostly...but think of how it might cut into the nocturnal hunters time!

...the loving embrace is sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe real elephants are so wonderful. (The party which uses them for their symbol, not so much!)
DeleteThe heron had quite a lunch. Must have been ready for a good nap after that.
ReplyDeleteI cringe thinking of the heron eating the little gator!
DeleteGosh, that brave heron!
ReplyDeleteHope he didn't get indigestion!
DeleteThat is an amazing selection! But that heron...
ReplyDeleteSome photographer captured that moment...which might just have given the heron a taste for gator meat. I'd still go for fish if I were him!
DeleteGreat critter images, I love the zebra and elephants.
ReplyDeleteAll the critter art is beautiful.
Wow, to see a Heron eating a gator, that is a cool sighting.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
So glad I could join the crowd, looking at, sharing each other's critter photos!
DeleteI love the blessing in your banner. I try to appreciate the summer weather even though it is extremely hot here. I love river otters too and always look for them in the rivers when we camp. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I never have seen them, just their slicks, river otters I mean.
DeleteI feel sorry for all the critters near me today in this heat!
ReplyDeleteI think my spirit is part elephant. I love the company of women and kids! I'd be just as happy if the males went off to their man caves. Then we could talk without being interrupted and explained at!
