Another beaver to make two.

 

How about a bull instead of another bird?

 

Bulls are for the birds - let's see a sow now.

Da Rhino!

 

Cool rhino and bull lonegun!

I think I need to look into those!

 

A Reindeer for the Zoo.

 

I learned something today. Essentially there is no difference between reindeer and a caribou. They are the same fundamental species (Rangifer tarandus). At least that is what I just read on the Internet so it must be true.

 

Of course, if someone posted it on the internet, it must be true. Bon jour.

You beat me to it lonegun!

 

Basically correct; "caribou" is usually used for those whose home is North America. In Northern Europe there is a domesticated subspecies called Rangifer tarandus fennicus ... and in parts of the world there is also a very specific type named Rangifer tarandus rubrinasus. But that type is very shy. Only one reindeer of that type has ever become well known.

Wish that I had a photograph of one of those 16th Century Talers under the reign of Rudolf II. Could have made a good red nose reindeer joke.

 

What's a zoo without an elephant ?
