Animal Pictures: 15 May 2011


Each week, people continue to discover amazing animal pictures.


The courageous shark expert, Michael Rutzen, 40, has captured amazing scenes of a great white shark breaching in the oceans when it is hunting a smaller seal in False Bay, South Africa on Monday (May 9). The 40-year-old expert was brave enough to spot close-up pictures of sharks leaping up to 13 feet out of the water. In the stunning hunting, no seals are hunted or hurt. For a long time, Seal Island in False Bay, 30km south of Cape Town is considered as the best place to watch this huge animal. This is also the place where scientists acknowledge that great white shark behaves differently, including the highly unusual behavior of breaching than any other sites else in the world.

The pictures of an ambush bug eating fluids on the body of a small fly, a dog feeding her own puppies and two liger cubs, a dog sitting on the front seat of a car with his owner, the picture of two foxes biting and scratching each other, and etc are the most impressive animal pictures of the previous week.



The photo below is about an elusive Highland Tiger or Scottish Wildcat. The animal was pictured by the nature photographer Peter Cairns in Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. Peter Cairns, 48, from Kingussie said that if more people are made aware of this national icon, its future will be decidedly certain. Peter also said that not many people realize the animal exists because it is very rare and elusive, so it is hard for them to relate and care for something that they don’t know about existence.

We received our Christmas card order last week, they’re so lovely, probably the best ones we’ve done so far. I am quite happy with them, and I’m super excited to send them out.

I really enjoy getting cards in my mailbox from friends and family. I love seeing photos of my college girlfriend’s kids, seeing how much they’ve grown each year. I love reading Christmas letters from friends I don’t talk to near enough, hearing about the year they’ve had. Christmas cards really are a way to connect with those in our lives that we don’t want to lose touch with.
