Tiger's Eye

I can't believe how BIG these cats

really are! When you see them

on t.v., their true size is

not realized!

*

Upon looking in one of my friends

books she had gotten from a

performance show she had gone

to, I couldn't believe they are

much longer than a man is tall!

*

It will truly be great in That Day

when the lion shall lie down with

the lamb. I'm sure that will

also include the tigers as well!

Toucan Better Than One!

I think toucans are so pretty!

I've always wondered how they

can carry around such heavy

beaks!! They must have a very

strong neck!

What is Brown and Has the Longest Neck!

Giraffes are a magnificent wonder!

Can you imagine the size of

their hearts; to have to pump

blood up those long necks!

*

God's animal kingdom is

truly amazing. How much

more so is His Kingdom

for us. I'm sure His beautiful

animals will be there too!

One Powerful Bird!

I have seen many eagles here

in Florida. When in the keys

they would nest in the islands

round about that people could

get to by boat. The mangroves

were so over grown you couldn't

get back to where their nests were.

*

I have seen them here as well in

nests that have been abandon by

some of the fish hawks. It's

amazing to watch them

feed their young from the

lakes that surround our area!

*

It's so grand to watch them as

they soar above the area on

hot air pockets. They all of

a sudden will hit one and

it pushes them up like a

sling shot!

Cheetah

How can you tell the difference

between a cheetah and a leopard?

*

Leopards have the shape of a lion.

Cheetahs have the shape of a

sleek house cat. It also has

longer back legs than other

large cats, giving them the

speed they can run; 70 miles

an hour in short spurts, wow!

Whoooooooo!

October seems to be the month

for owls. I not only hear them

in the woods, especially the

screech owls, but they seem

to be popular for the fall

season in art.

A Big Animal With a Big Heart for Their Young!

I have always loved to watch

National Geographic stories

about the African elephants

(You know the ones with the

bigger ears. Elephants from

India have the smaller ears.)

*

I love to see the babies learning

to roll in the mud. They get

so bogged down sometimes,

they have to have help to get

out! Mom's always there

for them; just like our moms

are always there for us!

*

I really appreciate all you

moms and what you do for

your children and grand-

children!

Goose or Gander?

Another beautiful bird presentation

by those who do hand art! These

people are so talented!

Now Tell Me You're a Gator Fan

I have seen plenty of these! It was but

a few years ago when a baby gator

was going across my yard! When

I approached him, he started

making that grunting noise

and I looked to see if mama

was coming! Even though

my yard is fenced in,

gators have been known

to go over fences!!!
