The Kangaroo Family
Kangaroos, and their close relatives, vary greatly in size, ranging in weight from 500 grams to 90 kilograms. There are at least 69 different types (called species) of kangaroo. These species are found naturally in the wild only in Australia and New Guinea, although feral populations of some species have been introduced in New Zealand, Great Britain and Hawaii.
Recently, scientists have separated these species into two families (the Macropodidae and the Potoroidae) which together form a super-family known as the Macropodoidea (or macropods). The family Macropodidae includes kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pademelons, tree-kangaroos and the forest wallabies of New Guinea. The family Potoroidae is made up of potoroos, rat-kangaroos and bettongs which are only found in Australia.
The best-known macropods are kangaroos, which is why the word 'kangaroo' is often used to describe any of the members of this family. We use 'kangaroos' in this text whenever these animals are being discussed in general.
Getting Around
Kangaroos of all sizes have one thing in common - powerful back legs with long feet. They are distinguished from other animals by the way they hop on these strong back legs. Only a few other small mammals, such as hopping mice, do this.
Hopping uses slightly less energy than four-footed running, but this advantage is lost at low speed. To move slowly, kangaroos balance on their front paws and tail, and then swing their hind legs forward in a pendulum motion.
One of the many odd things about kangaroos is that, on land, they can only move their hind feet together but when swimming they can kick each leg independently. Tree-kangaroos can move each hind leg separately when climbing. It is also interesting to note that, while several species of kangaroos have tails that can wrap around and carry nesting material such as grass and small branches, not one of the tree-kangaroos has the ability to grasp branches with its tail.

These lambs were less than an hour old, I think. We heard a lamb's first bleat. You haven't lived... Also, they were just learning to walk. And the mother was licking & sniffing them.

Please ID This Animal Track
Image by ex_magician
Last week on a mountain bike ride my friend Brenda said she heard a horrible animal sound that she identified as a "wild boar." I was waiting quite a ways ahead of her and didn't hear what she heard. We have never had any sort of feral pigs in Moore Park and I thought she probably had heard a bird, or perhaps a rabbit being killed - who knows?
Two days later I saw these tracks on one of our mountain bike trails. These are three examples from the same tracks - similar in size to deer tracks but they look different to me. Slightly splayed and not as pointed; and round at the ends.
Do any of my Flickr friends know what porcine hoof prints look like? Is this just a peculiar deer track (there are tons of deer tracks here). I included my size 46 mountain bike shoe (US size 12) for scale and tried to process these high contrast for identification purposes.
Please advise. As far as I know we haven't had feral pigs in this area but these tracks look intriguing.

NYC - Brooklyn: Prospect Park Zoo - Hamadryas Baboon
Image by wallyg
The Hamadryas Baboon (Papio hamadryas) is a baboon from the Old World monkey family. The northernmost of all the baboons, their range extends from the Red Sea in Egypt to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. They can also be found on the Arabian peninsula, though it is uncertain if this population was introduced by humans or not. The Hamadryas Baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians as the attendant of Thoth, and so, is also called the Sacred Baboon.
Males are often twice as large as females, and this species shows sexual dimorphism in coloration. Males are silver-white colored and have a pronounced mane, while the females are maneless and brown. The face is colored red. A female initiates mating by presenting her swollen rump to the male.
The Hamadryas Baboon lives in semi-desert areas, savannahs and rocky areas. It lives together in groups (so-called Harems) of Alpha males and up to 15 females which the males lead and guard.
The loss of its habitat by transformation in field and pastureland represents the main threat of the Hamadryas Baboon, its natural enemies (leopards and lions) having been nearly exterminated in their range. IUCN lists it as near threatened.
**
The Prospect Park Zoo, Brooklyn's only Zoo, is home to nearly 400 animals of more than 80 species. First established as a small menagerie in Prospect Park in the late 1800's, this collection of animals became the more formal Prospect Park Zoo on Flatbush Avenue that opened to the public on July 3, 1935. A Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, the Zoo was part of a massive city-wide park improvement program initiated and executed by former Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. Closed in 1988 for a five year, million dollar renovation program, the zoo was completely replaced save for the exteriors of the 1930's-era buildings. Rededicated on October 5, 1993, it joined Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) world-renowned network of wildlife parks in New York City.

A few nice facts about animals images I found:
Beautiful dog portrait 'Clyde', by Anderson, Glasgow, ca 1864-5
Image by whatsthatpicture
One of the favourite images in my collection, an early carte de visite dating from the 1860s. In fact thanks to the image at www.flickr.com/photos/weedonkerr/5412846028/ and the research undertaken by the owner it appears that Anderson was only at Enoch Square from 1864-65 so it looks like we have a surprisingly narrow possible date range.
One of 140 images from a fascinating album. For more information see the full set
Just how many of these images can we identify, and what can we find out about the people they portray?
Retirement with No Problem 2 of 20
Image by johngarghan
Photo 2 - I knew it was their boat because I’m always reading about them finding fallen trees to chop up for fire wood.
----------------------
For about 3 years I have been a follower of the blog “Retirement with No Problem”
noproblem.org.uk/blog/ The internet diary of a couple Vic and Sue, who retired from the family business to live on a traveling narrow boat “No Problem”, they move each day along the canals of England. Sue originally began the blog so that the family back home in Portsmouth would be able to follow them and now its well read by other boaters because it keeps up to date with anything from the location for the best fuel prices, signs of damage to the canal or near by facilities and a detailed review of the visited pubs food and drink.
Reading the blog I found that they are travelling through the Birmingham area over the weekend, I wanted to find them and introduce myself but I knew it would be almost impossible because they move so quick and they could be anywhere on the city canal system, in fact I tried to find them last year without success. Last week Sue blogged that they are going through the 21 locks at Wolverhampton and I then knew I could find them along that stretch because it takes a few hours to navigate through a small area.
