As part of my job, I have to check out regional newspapers for stories of interest to my company. Along the way, I find some pretty cool animal photos from local newspaper photographers. So, giving credit where credit is due, I'll compile those photos here as I come across them.
Aww he's a cute critter! Healthy, too!

Looks like he's mumbling something nasty under his breath at the photog.
Nope...wouldn't want to make him mad in a dark alley. :biggrin:

This one looks like it could make for a sticky situation. :yes: :smile:
I know they are by no means animals with a sweet disposition, but I think they're so cute!

It takes place in Southwestern Idaho. The Bureau of Land Management does it annually to control the population. The horses are later sold at auction.

Thanks, I was thinking it might be Virginia or Maryland. That is such an awesome thing to watch.

I can't see the picture here, but I'll take a peak when I get home. I was able to watch that once and it was a breathtaking experience, 'cept I watched it on the Maryland side-Assateque

If you're ever on the East coast, Dexter, you should check into that.

Reading this thread ^ I realized that they don't do the "swim" in Maryland, as a round up, so must have been in Virgina. Forgive my mistake, that was a long time ago and during my beach hopping and partying days, so it's no surprise that I didn't know where I was. Memory doesn't always serve me justice. :biggrin:
Assateague-Chincoteague - not much of a difference anyway! :biggrin:
Wonder what they would call it if those two islands ever got together? :icon_twisted:

The Alaska Zoo has a new addition, a 3-month-old lynx named Tony who was delivered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game about a month ago after being found abandoned in the Palmer area. Lynx, the only cat native to Alaska, have long legs and large furry feet that act as snowshoes. They have long tufts on each ear for camouflage. Tony will be full grown within a year and weigh between 18 and 30 pounds.

I love this thread! Awesome pictures!

A Yearling black bear weighing about 50 pounds caused a commotion Wednesday as rescue workers tried to get it out of a tree at East Junior High. The bear was tranquilized and will most likely be re-released into the wild.

I'm glad they handled it that way. I wonder where his mom is. Are they supposed to be separated from their parents at that age?

Thank God they didn't kill it. Sometimes people get trigger happy when it comes to wild animals.

John Schmitt, co-owner of Genesis Alpacas, holds up a new baby alpaca in a Silvana barn while her mother, Chia, watches Sunday afternoon. The baby was born on Saturday morning during the first day of a farm tour.
Those are great Alpaca pictures. Last weekend either Sat. or Sun. was National Alpaca Day. We live about a half an hour from an Alpaca farm. We didn't make it to Alpaca Days, but I'm quite sure it would have been AWESOME. :yes: They seem to be very sweet and gentle animals. :yes:
Alpaca farm? What are they used for?

Melissa Owens' dog team tangled with a herd of musk oxen on the outskirts of Nome last week. Heather Williams was with her in the truck they were using to train the team and took this picture. "It's my home page on my laptop," said Owens of the photo. No dogs were injured, nor, apparently, were any musk oxen.
HEATHER WILLIAMS / AlaskaStock.com
Wow! Great picture.
Wow, thank God nobody got hurt. I don't think I would want to tangle with those giants. :spooked: :no:

A bald eagle finds a friend Tuesday in the neon eagle on the historic globe about the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's offices.
(March 04, 2008)
This is a very cool shot. How ironic that the eagle chose that location to perch.
Also, if you've never seen the P-I globe, it really is quite spectacular.
(http://filelibrary.myaasite.com/Content/5/5209/11102953.jpg)
When I first saw it, I thought it was much more contemporary, but it's been a Seattle landmark for more than 50 years. It's a cool piece of neon signage that reminds one of "The Daily Planet" sign from Superman.

Where's IYT lately? I can't see the pics. I know some you said were removed but others are showing a red box. :confused:
