they're usually near water..

**mimitabby** · 08-11-2006, 01:06 PM

they also have a tail

Neither is particularly cute huh? We don't have those here in California. All our animlas are cute!!! And if not, someone would ship them off to the plastic surgeon!

Here's a little guy I caught yesterday in the middle of my ride. It's a Rough Green Snake, non-venomous, never bites. I released it after photos.

Nanci! He's beautiful! Thanks for the picture.

What a colour!
Does it change - looks a bit bright to me unless it lives in a rice paddy or tea plantation.

That's what color they stay. I don't know if there are any snakes that change colors. It perfectly matched the foliage it was in.

Umm, opossums are not particularly cute!

The babies are!! I got to hold one last summer that was the size of a baby kitten...

nanci i love the snake! very pretty. i'm supirsed you didnt take him home. you could use another one at home.

Well, Maizey is still causing problems by refusing to eat, so that's all I need is more trouble. Though if I find another Corn, it's going home with me!

Doesn't he look nice up against those Pearl Izumi gloves? Good thing they wash well- they smell a teeny bit snakey at the moment...

Neither are vultures! And, if muskrats aren't in California, what the heck was it doing on the end of my husband's fly line (other than taking off with the fly). Trust me, you don't want to have to haul a muskrat out of it's hole to untangle it from your line.

On otter can look pretty humpy when it's running. I'm trying to remember how they hold their tales. Where's Marty and Wild America when you need him?

Vultures are too cute!! Have you ever seen them skipping? And in the mornings, they are so slow to warm up and start flying...

**bcipam** · 08-24-2006, 07:12 PM

Nanci:

You must be a real bird lover to think vultures are "cute"... interesting maybe but cute NO!

Yeah, ever so cute when they're lined up on a fence in the morning sun with their gargoyle loom and glare.
