Damn that's a lot of fish. Waffles really needs to learn how to tell when someone doesn't want to play.
Looks like a close relative of Therizinosaurus. It's a weird dinosaur (theropod) that is believed to had a lifestyle similar to that of a giant sloth.
Not one of my better shots (blast of current washed sand through the area right as I clicked the shutter), but since it’s Tako Tuesday… lol: Cheers, -CM
Gallimimus, a type of theropod dinosaur. This photo was from the Dinosaur Safari exhibit at the Bronx Zoo.
Today, I've decided to highlight some resident of the sanctuaries near me. These guys are at a sanctuary about 20 minutes away from where I live called Sunburst Farms Rescue. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=336281865281197 Frankyl and Annabelle are at Freed Spirits Animal Rescue, which is about 45 minutes away. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=485392179986701 Diego and his buddies are at Healing Hearts Animal Rescue and Refuge, which also 45 minutes away, but in a slightly different direction from Freed Spirits. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1010012019922505 They are getting ready to vote on the SAFE Act, which will ban the shipment of horses to Mexico & Canada for slaughter. So if you want to help please contact your representative and ask them to pass the SAFE Act. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1147796292737129
Oh, and the other day I came up with a name for the Palomino gelding at the stables I go past on my bike rides. Hemmy, after Chris Hemsworth, because he's a big blond guy.
The adopted orphan Rising Star is now 1 year old. He's come a long way from that scrawny little newborn. He's a stallion in training. Then: Now:
Had a funny visit with the horses, Carla and Mary, during my bike ride this morning. I was petting Carl and she turned her head, so I started scratching the side of her neck, and she apparently liked it, because she started leaning into my hand. Then a few in minutes later, I found something she likes even more. She was walking along the fence, and I was petting her back and side, when she turned her butt towards me. I know the back end is dangerous, so I carefully just pet her a little at first, and then gave it a couple pats and she didn't seem to mind. Since she didn't mind that, I started scratching it, and that she really liked, she froze and just stood there while I scratched her, and then she even took a step back closer so I could get her better. And the other horse Mary, who usually never lets me pet her, actually let me a little today. After I went back to Carla, she snorted right next to me and completely soaked my arm, and when I left a little while later, I saw that she had also shot muddy horse snot onto my fluorescent yellow shirt that wear while I'm out on my bike. So between the snot she snorted on me, and what I wiped off my arm, there was muddy horse snot all over my shirt. I'm kicking myself, because I didn't think to take a picture to post until after I'd already changed shirts and tossed it in the laundry.
Todd from Arthur's Acres paid a visit to one of his pigs, Petey, who has been at Cornell University getting checked out by the vets there.
