Shot Alive

Recently my wife and I took three of our grand-children to the zoo. It was a lot of fun and I took my camera along to get some animal shots. I put many of these on flickr and a couple of them were quite funny so I set to looking for more funny animal pictures. Here are some of my favourites, and you can see them larger by clicking them and then selecting "all sizes".

The Kiss, by bestrated1 and The Big Contest for Sheep :) Run Sheep Run..... by burakyilmaz61

Sproinggg!, by mostlysunny1. Meadow's mid-air spin jump. Missed the toy, but an impressive jump it was, nonetheless. and Diaper check, by somesay and Happy Silly Saturday!, by buntekuh. Yes, Sir - I am crazy!

Cat smelling a fragrant Double Delight Rose, by rosephotosetc and Max!, by wynandvanpoortvliet

Tasteless? Hilarious? You decide., by admurder. I encountered this nearby the USC campus today on 30th street. Pretty good taste in beer for a squirrel. AND Rosie & Buster Brown, by darrenstone. Rosie, an eleven-month-old pug, rough houses with Buster Brown, a four-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever, the dogs are best of friends and spend most days together.

Have a nice evening! - Schönen Feierabend!, by buntekuh and
Yippie! It's Furry Friday!, by buntekuh. Happy Furry Friday and a cozy weekend!

The following 3 are from our trip to the zoo:

And the One that got Away was This Big!

Mr Cool. He was making a great bubble with his throat as some sort of display for the female who was mostly ignoring him. Trying to look ever so cool, using a rope to lie on like it was a hammock. He is a Siamang monkey.

Niki as Wendy from Peter Pan. These two animals looked so much like they are chatting that this seemed the best place to add Niki who looked so much like she was flying when she modelled her new nightie. The emu was too dumb struck to reply ... it is still trying to think of a smart answer.

Be warned though, animals may get their own back for being photographed ... the heist, by haleyhyatt

Jacksonville Beach, FL. A ring-beaked gull exacts his payback for all the photographs we took of him. Barry was feeding the gulls, as usual -- and decided to see if they would dare to fly in and eat chips on top of his hat. Since my compact zoom Kodak has a bit of shutter lag, I snapped the shot when the bird was a few feet away, not realizing the actual shot I would get -- which was priceless (to us, anyway!) In a heartbeat, this enterprising gull had heisted Barry's cap and flown with it 50 yards down the beach (unfortunately I missed that shot.) Fortunately for Barry and the hat -- the gull let go of the hat (not as tasty perhaps as he had hoped) over sand, rather than water. I didn't realize I had captured this shot until it was all over. It proved who really rules the beach.

Some of these were done for the digital challenge group in flickr. Others were just done for the fun of it because a picture was crying out to be manipulated or have a funny speech bubble added.

Global Warming

The poor polar bear has to wear sunglasses because of the glare and sees camels under the northern lights. This is in a way funny, but also a very serious message about how humans are treating our world.

Niki as Wendy from Peter Pan

These two animals looked so much like they are chatting that this seemed the best place to add Niki who looked so much like she was flying. The emu was too dumb struck to reply ... it is still trying to think of a smart answer. It will probably relate to the giraffe's crooked neck.

Enrol at Charles Atlas

This is for the older folks who remember those ads. I have been told that when he died, the funeral was attended by hundreds of 90 pound weeklings who kicked sand on his coffin...

This isn't funny so much as exciting for NZ when they went 3-0 up against Luna Rossa in the America's cup challenge final.

Soon NZ will start the America's cup itself against Alinghi.

The sheep make disguises in pairs...

The sheep devise a cunning plan to all get into Noah's ark. Who said that sheep are stupid? [It should not be mentioned that NZ has 4 million people and about 50 million sheep].
