More snake craziness - but this time you’ve got to feel sorry for the snake. Paralysis ticks are nasty buggers

Looks like the poor snake (a.k.a. Nike) is getting good medical attention in hospital.

And then we'll probably see him doing the rounds of the talk shows and on Nike ads.

What species is that?
Some Elephant birds weighing up to 1,600 lb survived in Madagascar up to the 17th century.
Another very large bird once found in the pacific was said to kill horses by caving in their ribs with a kick.

I love going down to the beach, I just make sure I read all of the signs first. (All on the same day at the same beach).

Stonefish? Good camouflage, no wonder they're so dangerous!

I heard a "bonk" in the back of the house the other day and went to check it out. First glance out the window, nothing. Upon further inspection at different angles, I can see a ghost impression of what tried to enter the house. Take a look at the fuzzy impression on the glass.

Entrance denied 😉

Cassowarys are known for their woodworking skills. As the dads raise the chicks they like to get started with training early 👍

You thought it was safe to go back in the water?

Think again!

We've just discovered the "Diving Tarantula".

All near @STANDYs favourite fishin' spots 😁.

(in one of the most concentrated population densities in the world).

Can't wait until they develop wings. Flying/diving Tarantulas.

That'll be fun!
