Kerry - are you serious? Does such an animal exist? I suppose his name was ”Old Shaggy”

Love them - but please try and get a shot of the famous fainting goats :D

Hi Chris,

I believe that this is a Llama. There is a whole flock of them on a farm an hour north of where I live. I presume that they're raised for their fur. :)

Haven't seen any goats, at least 4-legged types, but I'll see what I can do. :?

heh. That's not a big deal. Being from Oz, I wouldn't expect you to know where stuff is in the US of A. Hell, I've lived here and traveled all over this country for over 50 years and still don't know where a lot of stuff is. 8)

Thanks, Mic. :D I think you're right about the wool. :) I do enjoy getting good shots of animals. But, you might want to reconsider my title. Check out my self portraits. :? :shock: :o :lol:

Kerry, you have probably noted by now that Mic has gender issues. When you were signing up he mentioned you were female. After looking at the photo of you with a beard, I would have to say as a girl, looks wise you are lucky your photography is good :wink:

Oh well :shock:

After fainting, I have now picked myself up off the ground :lol:

Yes, I have to admit I always thought Kerry was female :shock: which is funny coming from me as I have pretended being a female.

I'm sorry Kerry, I don't know why I have always thought such a thing as there is absolutly nothing wrong with being a man :oops: :oops:

I'm sure Marcus & everybody will have a big belly laugh at this little mis interpretation. :roll: :roll:

Great shots by the way MATE :wink:

Regards,

A very silly feeling man in OZ. :oops: :oops:

Well, I always go for the Unisex bathrooms myself. Dunno about Mic.... :?

But, I'm pretty happy that I'm a male. It would prolly hurt my sensitive peelings to know that I was a female and that everyone thought I was ugly enough to knock a buzzard off a manure wagon..... :cry:

:lol: :shock: :lol: All I can do is laugh at this one!

Revenge is so sweet! But don't worry Mic, I too, had made the assumption (my whole hearted apologies, Kerry).

Great pics by the way, and please keep posting,despite what you may think about us Aussies! :roll:

:lol: No need for apologies. It happens all the time and we all got a good laugh out of it. :D I certainly don't view it as anything other than humorous and think you Aussies are cool. 8)

Another humorous tidbit is the avatars. Mine is another self-portrait. What is Mic's??? :shock: :P :roll:

That would probably be meschugener, rather than Michigan. How's your Yiddish, Steve? If in doubt, take a quick walk around 3rd and Fairfax in LA. Maybe call into Kanter's?

Where to view the Funny Looking Critter

To get slightly back on track of the subject of this photo, if any Sydney people want to see one of these (not so) little critters for themselves, we saw them a couple of days ago at the Symbio Wildlife Park in Stanwell Park, south of Sydney. There are 2 of them and when you see them, 2 things strike you straight away:

1. they are big - well, bigger than expected - about the size of an adult horse, and
2. they are REALLY "on the nose", so don't stand too close or you'll asphyxiate!

They also have a very mean expression, and don't seem to take kindly to sharing their little hut with tourists seeking shelter from the rain!

Symbio is worth visiting, if you want to take kids or tourists (we took both) for a quick couple of hours instead of a long & more expensive zoo trip (Symbio is only $17.00 per adult). They've got the usual - koalas, dingos, wombats, birds, reptiles, kangaroos and ... tah dah .... llamas! Good place for some good shots, without the crowds.
