Aaawww! Cute pandas Richard! Your new avatar is really cute too!
My Dad just sent me these pictures of some baby bores that my Uncle in France rescued.
We aren't sure what he plans to do with them, but once they reach a weight of 100 pounds, I'm sure he'll have to set them free. Can you imagine having those in your backyard? As babies, they're adorable, and apparently, they follow you around like little lambs, but once they reach adulthood- they want to eat everything in sight (people included I'd venture to guess!) and they become ugly-- with a capital "U"! I'm not kidding-- I've seen them with my own eyes, behind a fence, in a Reserve when I was a kid. I told my Dad my Uncle should make his own documentary/reality show chronicling the piglets/borelets escapades and growth before he returns them to the wild. He could call it: Bore Free. (Ba-dum-bum-bum!)

Hope you have a great weekend~

It's a Piebald deer! You may only see one of these in your lifetime, they are very rare.
The term 'piebald', used to identify a whitetail with at least one extra splotch of white hair, has an interesting origin. 'Pie' means 'mixed up;' 'bald' means 'having a white spot.' To a horseman, a 'piebald' is a horse with black and white splotches; one with brown and white splotches actually is known as a 'skewbald.'

Glad you like that one Hbird :]
My next door neighbor has a brightly colored feeder in her front porch area and there is a Hbird nested in it!! It's just a foot above the heads of the people who walk by and she stays in it with her little egg carefully watching as we pass by. _________________
