What a gorgeous animal! It's wonderful we still have them! I imagine in reality their size might be a bit scary, but on the other hand, these guys are sorta slow and sweet. Kinda reminds me of some people I know! *Verena*

Ugly, I'd agree, but an excellent post especially through dirty glass, and hand held. Well done.

You did a great job with the elements working against you Rocker. He thinks he is hidden. Thanks for proving him wrong. Great post.
