UNIQUE ANIMALS

I have posted many photos of animals; still I found these to be somewhat unique.  Many are close-ups.  As to the first one, I did not know the difference between an ape and a gorilla.  Turns out that a gorilla is a type of ape, as are humans.  Look closely to see what is unusual about the parakeet.

Is it perched?




I love this shot!




No, I am NOT crosseyed!









This walrus shot is so close, it doesn't show the tusks.




Cliff tells me that is an otter having lunch.

SIGNS THAT WORK

A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. The traffic was so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So one day the farmer called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens."  "What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day he had the county workers go out and erected a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING. 

Three days later the farmer called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster." So, again, the sheriff sends out the county
workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY  That really sped them up. So the farmer called and called and called every day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was
going to let the farmer do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling every day to complain.

The sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff and
he decided to give the farmer a call. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?"  "Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone. The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself, "I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign... it might be something that we could use to slow down drivers in other areas..." So the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of plywood:  NUDIST COLONY - Go slow and watch out for the chicks.
