The gelatinous fish also has a strange suction cup on its belly.

What an amazing bird! He does not look like a bird. How strange!

Lac Baïkal. 50 degrés. Une maman ourse est venue à la plage se baigner avec ses oursons. Quelles "sanctions" contre 1 peuple qui nage avec les ours ?

Photo competition & awards
Since I often follow photography oriented sites, sometimes both nice or even astonishing images are shown of animals by the people who participate in photo contests. Lately, I saved a few which i liked, or felt, they stood out among the crowd.
The Raven image when seen in high resolution (but not shown here) was amazing, due to the many nuanced details within black feathers; which gave the birds an almost a three dimensional look, in which you eyes could get lost into.
I will in the future keep my eyes on more of these images (in order to show you them, here at the forum) - because though the years, I have seen some really amazing ones - and they usually get published at DPreview.com

Bird: Northern Shoveler
Location: Muskegon County Wastewater Management System, Muskegon County, Michigan, USA
Hometown: Alto, Michigan, USA
Image description: The frame is full of emerald-green heads and brown and white feathers—a sea of Northern Shovelers. The image centers around one male that rises above the rest with its wings outstretched, exposing the blue on the upper part of its wing.
