There are few animals that don’t enjoy getting a dose of sunshine after a long, hard day of working in an office or eating bugs out of the sky. We don’t think those two circles overlap, but you never know.
This young red-tailed hawk is sleeping off a long night of flying around and making that call you hear in every show that is set in the wilderness with a quick nap on a stone wall He’s giving the photographer a sharp look. You don’t get to see birds in such a state of relaxation that often, so it’s fun to see a different side to them.
He's So Excited to Meet You!
Moths are a bit of a mystery to a lot of people. Sure, they might like to chow down on your curtains, but why? What could they possibly get from your drapery? Maybe they're just students of fine decoration. Heh, heh, they have good taste! Ah, we're sorry. Anyway, here's a big close-up of a Moth that looks like it's jazzed to see you after so long away.
These little creatures might be bugs, but they still have a kind look to them. They almost look like they would be soft to the touch. Though we doubt they would like to stay under a finger for long.
Hey! Hey! Everybody Chill Out!
This anteater has come upon a big argument, but we don't get to see what exactly has happened to force the animal into this sort of posture. Are there two other anteaters holding guns, with a big suitcase of solid-gold ants between all three of them? Or, perhaps, this anteater is practicing his moves for his lifelong goal of being a traffic cop.
You can't just eat ants all your life and call it good! You have to have aspirations – dreams. Ants are nice, but what about doing something good for other people? Even an anteater wants to help out sometimes.
Just Barely There
You might need an eagle's eyes to pick out the piece of wildlife in this picture. The black speck at the upper third is a bird that looks a little lost and a little too lonely. We're not sure exactly where this picture was taken, but it has a wild, uninhibited quality to it.
The seething sees the wild blue yonder. It could be over the mountains, taken from an aircraft for all we know. Humanity seems all but removed from this image – we get nothing but the untamed sky and a bird that has made it his own.
Hey Buddy, You Got a Light?
It seems that even the animal kingdom has its vices. Trust us, kid, you don't want to find out what happens to your lungs if you get addicted to those things. We, humans, call them lung darts, and your lungs are a lot smaller. Sure, they might give you a pleasant buzz at first, but you're going to be hacking and coughing before too long.
Plus, then you have to go into shops and talk to the owner and show your I.D. And you don't have an I.D., do you? No – you are a bird.
