Wolverine (Gulo gulo)
It is also referred to as glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae (weasels). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times its size. The wolverine can be found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in the U.S. state of Alaska, northern Canada, the Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Their populations have experienced a steady decline since the 19th century in the face of trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation, such that they are essentially absent in the southern end of their European range. It is, however, estimated that large populations remain in North America and northern Asia. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine

Nice Animals That Are Extinct photos
A few nice animals that are extinct images I found:
seminolecanyon085

Seminole Canyon State Park, Val Verde County, Texas. One of the more remote state parks, tucked into the southwest corner of Texas about an hour's drive west of Del Rio.
This area has been inhabited since the very earliest days that humans set foot in North America, going back nearly 12,000 years - back during the last Ice Age when the land was more verdant with now-extinct animals still roaming the surrounding prairies and forest. But over the millenia, the climate changed to its current, arid desert landscape - and the Indians adapted.
All through these years, the local Indians drew pictograms all over the surrounding canyon walls and caves. In the dry climate, protected by overhanging rock walls, many of these pictograms survived through the ages. Some of the more famous sites, such as the Fate Bell and Panther Cave, are the feature attractions of Seminole Canyon, and can be visited by guided tour through the park.
However, I have not yet visited these sites - instead focusing on other areas of the park. On the first visit (March 9th, 2008), I arrived after the park had closed for the day. I walked along the short 'Windmill Trail', a small loop near the visitor's center. This trail leads down to a small year-round spring and the ruins of a water catchment system that was used by local settlers over the past hundred years.
The return trip (September 27, 2008) was much more fruitful - I chose to hike the Rio Grande River Trail, a six-mile out-and-back loop that leads to the far corner of the park, almost a stone's throw from Old Mexico. With recent rains it was fairly lively and green, with countless butterflies passing through on their annual migration. The trail starts alongside the original 'Loop Trail', the 1882 railroad alignment that was abandoned a decade later when a less strenuous route was forged and the Pecos River High Bridge was built.
The trail itself is pretty boring - a flat, featureless hike across a nondescript desert plain. But the main highlight of the hike quickly comes into view. There is a mile-long spur shooting off to the left called the Pressa Trail, which leads to an overlook looking down at a three-way intersection in the Seminole Canyon below. Here, the waters from Lake Amistad many miles away along the Rio Grande peter out; to the right, the waters are wide and deep, muddied from the recent rainstorms. To the left, the two forks of Seminole Canyon are mostly dry. From the top of the overlook, sheer cliffs lead staight down over a hundred feet to the waters below. The view is, well, *breathtaking* - and worth the trip.
Back on the main trail, a few miles later it comes to an abrupt end at the junction where Seminole Canyon merges with the Rio Grande. The location overlooks the Panther Cave pictograms, on the opposite shore far below, accessible only by boat. To the right, a few hundred yards away, are the hills of Mexico. Here, the water is deeper, the canyons steeper, the chasm wider. An impressive view, although not as amazing as the Pressa Trail overlook.
From here, it is a straight hike back along the south portion of the loop, my only companion a great horned toad trying to hide in the gravel of the trail. I would like to return to this park to take the guided tours, and there are other tours available nearby on private land to other pictogram sites as well. And I am told this park is also fabulous for bird watchers as well.

bamboo diet

bamboo diet
Image by Fatty Tuna
"They spend at least 12 hours each day eating bamboo. Because bamboo is so low in nutrients, pandas eat as much as 84 pounds (38 kilograms) of it each day. Pandas grasp bamboo stalks with their five fingers and a special wristbone, then use their teeth to peel off the tough outer layers to reveal the soft inner tissue. Strong jaw bones and cheek muscles help pandas crush and chew the thick stalks with their flattened back teeth. Bamboo leaves are also on the menu, as pandas strip them off the stalks, wad them up, and swallow them. Giant pandas have also been known to eat grasses, bulbs, fruits, some insects, and even rodents and carrion. At the San Diego Zoo, pandas are offered bamboo, carrots, yams, and special leaf eater biscuits made of grain and packed with all the vitamins and minerals pandas need."

Today's posting: Find an object beginning with the letter 'C', post it then Tag it with #TP520.
I find our black cat really difficult to photograph, and not just because he runs away. He comes out either too dark or too contrasty - this is more like him. It's all about the light!
(I'm a couple of days behind a photo a day, but I'll make it up!)

Yep, very bad quality, the lens fogged up when I took it from my bag and into the cold of the morning. Purpose for uploading is, though, to ask what are those red wavey lines all about? They were not in the view and didn't appear on any other photos.

Baby Burro in Oatman, Arizona
Image by cobalt123
Nice backlight courtesy the bright sun in the middle of the afternoon in Oatman, Arizona. The wild burros that come into the small town in the mountains are treasures here and one of the unique features of this old "Wild West" town that thrives today on it's value as a historical landmark on old Route 66. This is a baby, caught on the street in a photogenic spot as opposed to the many images that show way too many people and cars. It's a tourist mecca here, especially when the weather is a balmy 82 degrees with full sun.

City Mythics: Road Kill
Image by Dylan
I am pleased with how little people know about their own cities. Everything is so specialized. While the person who picks up roadkill doesn't know what happens to the water that goes down the drain the water treatment worker doesn't know who put all the cable in the ground or even when and the cable person doesn't know where trolleys go to sleep at night and the trolley driver doesn't know who picked up that dead squirrel they saw smashed next to the left rail yesterday.
Thus after all that, there is City Mythics. I don't have a name for him yet. But since I don't know how road kill is taken care of in Philadelphia I made up a mythic deity to take care of it until I do know.
For now I know that one day road kill is there. The next day it isn't.
All source images are my own. I'll post the dead squirrel photo later.
[it is 4am, I just made this up. Maybe I should pick lighter reading material. I am going to bed now.]

U.S. Army photos by Cpl. Han, Jae Ho
CAMP HUMPHREYS — Dog lovers here gathered for Pet Fest 2012 at the Humphreys Veterinary Clinic May 5. The event featured the paws walk, a pet show, face painting, an agility course, pet photos, informational booths, a military working dog demonstration and an awards ceremony.
“We are really happy with the turnout and excited to be a part of the Camp Humphreys community,” said Capt. Amy Carlson, officer in charge at the Humphreys vet clinic. “We have many events such as face painting, doggy treats and grooming. Humphreys has been great to us and we have received lots of support. We look forward to continuing events like this today.”
The American Red Cross participated in the event to offer knowledge about pet first aid, while the Osan Animal Shelter provided information on pet adoptions.
The dog show had categories such as owner/pet lookalike, best dressed, best pet trick and best in show. Rocko, owned by Blair Bogle, was the biggest winner of the day, winning first prizes in owner/pet lookalike and best in show categories.
“This is a great opportunity to hang out with dog lovers and people with the same hobbies,” said pet owner Tom Stout. “This event also provided information for people who are PCS’ing and have pets with them. This was a fun day.”

So I'm not a big fan of scary movies. I mean, I like thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic ones but when it comes to horror I have a hard time keeping my eyes open. When people laugh at me and say, "Mary, it's just a movie!" I respond with, "No. No, it is not just a movie. This is something I'm experiencing along with the characters. I'm in the movie. How dare you say such a thing."
