We really don't have much to say about this photo of an elephant taking a dust bath other that it's beautiful. And it makes us very thankful that we take showers!

Animals Love Fall Leaves
Much how animals enjoy trips to the pumpkin patch as much as humans do, they also enjoy the beautiful fall foliage like we do as well. We might not run and jump in piles of leaves as often or as freely as they do, but maybe it's time for us humans to change that...

Picture Of The Week - Run Aways
What do you think these turkeys are thinking? In the spirit of Thanksgiving humor, we imagine it's something like "Run, boys! I heard them say something about stuffing"! They're running away from the Thanksgiving table, we think, and into freedom :-)

Talking Turkey
Did you know that when a male turkey gets excited, his head turns blue? And when he gets angry it turns red. Did you know that domestic turkeys are commonly bred to have white, not brown, feathers as well has larger breasts muscles?

Thanksgiving Turkey Foods
No, we don't mean food to feed the turkeys on Thanksgiving. We mean fun foods and snacks that are turkey-shaped. Take a look at these yummy (and adorable) recipes and ideas that we found on Pinterest!
(Serve as is for a healthy snack, or with chocolate fondue for dessert)!

Picture Of The Week - Guess What?
When we saw this picture pop up on our Tumblr feed, we were intrigued, then surprised. And we knew we had to share it with our readers! Can you tell what this? We'll give you three guesses.
1) Did you guess it was some kind of two-headed snake? Sorry, wrong!
2) Did you think it was possibly an exotic bug? Wrong!
3) Maybe a newly-discovered underwater sea creature? Also wrong!
This was a bit of a trick question, since this is a magnified image. This is actually the tip of a hummingbird tongue, which is forked and able to curl into a straw shape so they can suck nectar out of flowers or feeders. The picture is one of a series from the book "Microcosmos" by author Brandon Broll, which includes images of everyday objects magnified up to 22 millions times!
To see a hummingbird's tongue in action, watch the video below!

Picture Of The Week - Taking Shelter
With Hurricane Sandy gone, and the East Coast starting to rebuild, we thought this picture was timely. It's a photo of flamingos gathered in a bathroom at the Miami-Metro Zoo during Hurricane Floyd in 1999. The storm was originally expected to miss Miami, but caused almost $10 billion in damages.

Animals In The Pumpkin Patch
Did you know that going to the pumpkin patch was a Fall tradition that animals love as much as humans? We didn't, until we saw these sweet pictures.
The jury is still out on whether animals enjoy fall hay rack rides and hot apple cider as much as humans do, though...

What The Heck Is That?
Did you see something that you just couldn't explain or even begin to comprehend what it might be? That's how we felt we first laid eyes on this creature. For those missing the thrills and chills of Halloween, this little guy can sure give you a scare!
It's an aye-aye, a rare animal that is found only on the island of Madagascar. To be fair, this is a baby aye-aye whose fur hasn't fully grown in yet; they do get a little cuter when they get older. A little...
They don't look like it but aye-ayes are primates, relatives to chimpanzees, apes and yes, humans. They have opposable big toes that help them dangle from branches. The aye-aye is also distinguished by its big eyes and bushy tail, which is longer than its body.
