Ostrich mama
I am amazed that she can bend her neck all the way down for a scratch and that her knees bend the other way. Sitting like that doesn’t look comfortable. Is she even keeping the eggs warm?

Whoa, a close-up of how they breathe. Cool.
It sounds like roaring to us, but hey maybe this is just how they talk.

If I could have a huge saltwater tank, I’d want a pet ray. Remove the stinger and these guys are amazing – so soft, so graceful, and quite friendly too!
This guy was so eager to be petted he was coming out of the water!

They’re not just soft, they kind of feel… fluffy.

Their little mouths are so cute! They look like a face themselves, but the eyes of course are actually on top. I believe those are the nostrils?
It’s so calm and serene, this scene of jellyfish slowing moving around. Where are they going? Nowhere, really. What are they doing? Just living out their lives, I guess. When life is simple and you’ve got nothing else to do but meander around your world… I wonder if that makes you content with everything.
