Not an animal but a beautiful Monkey Orchid. It is extremely rare,
beautiful and precious and is found in Ecuador, South America.
The Monkey orchid (Orchis simia) is an orchid species of the Orchis
genus. It is known for its pungent odor, which some[who?] say is
similar to that of feces[ :eek:
all I could find about it on Wiki :) Seemed perfect for IOTD ..
