Ambition

You know those inspirational posters you see on the wall in your boss's office, or in the break room? Well, here is a submission to the folks who have the corner on that market. I call it: Ambition.

Contemplation

Contemplating the divine navel can lead to great insight and revelation. Contemplating one's insectoid reflection in a dew drop is bound to be...revealing as well. His angry expression is no doubt quite justified.

Set the Catfish Down

Wow. That's some catfish. And the man seems very happy to be holding it.

There's a reason why we don't wear short shorts, even while fishing. There are just some places fish slime wasn't meant to ... slime.

Lying in Wait

It's been far too long since the matamata turtle reared its ugly head here. Everybody say hello and then let him get back to lying in wait.

An Unpleasant Transition

I really don't know what to make of this photo. At first I thought it was a lovely shot of an egyptian vulture caring for its egg. Then I saw that the egg had been cracked open, with some of the yolk spilled out. A tender moment had turned into a horrific one (not a pleasant transition). Is mama looking for vengeance on whoever cracked the egg? Or is birdie enjoying an afternoon snack?

Handling Roaches

Cockroaches are so versatile. Not only will they be one of the few animals to survive a nuclear holocaust, but they can also be fashion accessories (see Brigette's hand below).

What's more, they can also wear accessories themselves (see freak model below)!

And they're mighty tasty. Or so I've heard...

Thanks for the photo, Brigette. I hope you don't walk around in public like that.

Nasty Combo

Behold the maw of the lamprey. The whole eel-like body / blood-sucking combo makes for a nasty fish. That reminds me, I need to contact my lawyer about some copyright infringments.

Demon Dog

Dogs tend to be attractive animals (save for the individuals found on this site). But every so often you catch one on film that is snarling, cross-eyed mad. And so you have demon dog below. Demon dog isn't the best advocate for pet ownership.
