It turns out that the IotD where the bear ate the monkey is from this same park.

I didn't know, until I retrieved my mail yesterday... and it turns out a lurker suggested this image just before I found it. Synchronicity... but thanks anyway, Marcel!

He said that the calf survived.

Ankoli cattle (sp?) - the sound strange - they say MOO - like you or I would just say "Moo" (or at least the one's I saw did)

And who hasn't flipped a calf into the air with their horn?

I once flipped a kitten in the air, and across a room. Accidently of course.

I was walking out of a room, talking to my friend, not paying attention to my feet. Her new kitten crossed in front of me with perfect timing such that my right foot went right under it's belly and as it came forward, lifted the kitten into the air and sent it sailing across the room. I am embarassed to say I had to stifle laughter as I went to check that it was OK. It was. But man, you couldn't have timed it any better...

There's a vid on YuoTube that ends with a cat trying to catch a string that's attached to one of the blades of a ceiling fan. You can guess what happens.

I don't know, neatorama? Even that Mad Max bovine would have a tough time with an Abrams M-1 Rhino. They be bad, even elephants are wary of them. :eek:

Something like this really happened here in Texas. Migratory birds are routinely tagged or banded with a leg band to track migration. Sometimes larger birds like geese get a neck band collar with large numbers on it that can be read from a distance. Some guy at the fish and game got the idea to paint some snow geese pink to mark them from the others for tracking purposes. They didn't last long and were either killed by other geese or ostracized. :sniff:
