Non-croc post for a change of pace Since it came up in a conversation I ended up googling if the rhinos in the Salzburg Zoo get out in Winter and not only do they, it also makes for some impressive photos Images by Manuel Bukovics

I was reading up on unicorns today and wikipedia is not supposed to be this funny!!

It was uncommon for knights in the middle ages to ride horses. Rather, imported Rhinoceroses and Hippopotamae were more capable of withstanding battles. The image of a knight on a horse comes from Don Quixote, whose steed was intended as a play on his feeble nature.

New Index: Baby Animals

Baby Animals — Animal Photo Reference Repository

We need things to make us smile right now, so I'm launching this page earlier than I planned.

This is a new index page - it's a list of all the species where I've got photos of juvenile animals. With previews! And it links out to the full page so you can see all the cute. It's a living page and will be updated as I get more photos online.

Right now, there's...

Gorillas

(There's some really neat photos of an extremely fresh baby gorilla being carried by mom - I can't put those on the hellsite because they don't differentiate female-presenting-nipples by species, so you gotta check them out on the page)

Black Rhinoceroses

Lions

Snow Leopards

Blackbuck

...and more!

Scene from the Late Miocene of Pikermi in Attica, Greece. A group of storks (Ciconia gaudryi) takes flight as an Amphimachairodus giganteus approaches the water’s edge to quench its thirst. A pair of hornless rhinocerotids (Acerorhinus neleus) keep a watchful eye on the big cat whilst two enormous Deinotherium proavum prepare for a bath. In the background, a herd of Cremohipparion mediterraneum can be seen.
