This time of year I leave them alone to raise pups even though the sheep growers have a year round bounty on them. I do my part to keep the populations down during the winter when you can get $25 for the bounty and $35-70 dollars a pelt. I've currently got a female cutting through my yard at daybreak on her way to the dumpsters at the Chinese restaurant in town. I'll try to be ready with the camera next time she comes through. That'll come to an end when I get my pup.

It would've gotten it from me,I would have fed it to her/him. I'm a sucker when it comes to animals.

Yellow headed moray eels on the barrier reef: Scary teeth. Some of these aren't usually this scary they look like sock puppets, however, if this one suddenly came out of his cave right at ya face I think I would soil my wetsuit.

Morays are agressive as all get up,they may not look scary,but divers have lost fingers to them.

What the hells? Why have those cows got holes in their sides and what is that chick rooting around for in there?

What the hells? Why have those cows got holes in their sides and what is that chick rooting around for in there? Apparently it's for research purposes and to give school kids a field trip they will never forget. Creepy is what it is, in my opinion. daviswiki.org/fistulated_cow

I'd love to live somewhere I could treat rabbits as adorable native creatures worthy of conservation efforts. Here they're nowt but destructive feral interlopers who ruin grasslands for threatened ground dwellers: Such as the quoll: The Bilby: and the antechinus: and the incredibly rare grass parrot: Antichinuses actually screw themselves to death. Every year every adult male in the population dies after an exhausting two month long festy of constant mating with any available female. Females live between three and four years but males don't make much past one. I changed the quoll image...it was way too big and spagging up the page formatting .

Elbows hell, last month I had my arm shoulder deep in a cows widegina, trying to turn a breach. I keep telling them no more ranching for me but I still get called on to help because I have the longest strongest thinest arms on the ranch.

This is what we're doing currently - "AIing" in ranch vernacular. My cousin started her own AIing business after a divorced a few years ago. She and I learned how to do it years ago. Old cows are easy, heifers, not so much.
She has groups of agro-tourists watch her anal fisting.
A lot of shoulders and elbows get dislocated if you're not careful!!!

Spiders are not "cool critters" they are evil terrible creatures which should be destroyed with fire.

I like spiders Unless they are spindly. Spindly ones better not get near me.
