Random trivia: Snow leopards normally live for 15–18 years, but may live for up to 20 years in captivity.
2 Kenji:The red kite is amazing and the hedgehog is so cute. The sunfish is surreal!
2 Shotzi: Maybe I didn’t choose the right picture for puffins because they are fascinating and so photogenic:

Grey Daisies; well done on the snow leopards which i was looking for a good shot of earlier. On youtube there’s a lot of nationalistic hatred (not just friendly rivalry) between India and Pakistan over Tigers v Snow Leopards. On youtube the insults fly on almost everything. Well hopefully that nationalism will be channelled into ensuring the animals survive. There’s a good book by Peter Matthiessen, Snow Leopard
