All Creatures Great and Small

Been swimming @ the beach the last couple of weekends, normal for Nth Queenslanders this time of year, starts to feel safe to go in the water. Still, in the bucket with the toy spades, water bottle etc is the bottle of vinegar, we always take it to the beach it's just normal habit here.
Irrukandji don't always kill but if your unlucky enough to cop a box jellyfish...:(
 
Found this one at Gordon Dam today (see drought thread). It doesn't seem to have taken much notice of the sign which is immediately above the bin (second photo) and just opened the lid by itself. They make lots of bumps and thumps when inside but it didn't seem to want to attack me etc. The tail is roughly as long as the rest of the body - end is cut off in photo (had to be quick with the camera...).

Handle needs a metal clip, or lock that you have to use both hands.

And if parts of the lock were some distance apart like 40 cm, unless they work in tandem, rubbish would be safe :D
 
At first they said it was a wild pig that was shot by this kid but now the original owner of this farm bred animal came forward and said that he had sold it 4 days before it got shot, it probably walked up to the kid hoping for a pat on the head but alas he got pat by a bullet.:(
Thats one HUGE B$@#H.:eek:

Speaking of tigers in the tank, Odin, a white Bengal tiger, dives for a piece of meat at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California.

"Anyone who believes in the supremacy of the albino races of the world is suffering from a pigment of the imagination " ;) :2twocents
