Post your 2007- wildlife pics

Great pic Lynne

Very funny pic Barry

Thanks both

Great picture Lynne, nice antlers !!! what kind of deer are these ?

ahhh makes me homesick for the rockies - beautifull animal- they are called - ELK - BY SOME WAPITI BY OTHERS - we fed a herd of up to 60 animals for 3 months each winter for 14 years- The name wapiti also has the advantage of being plain and descriptive, at least in its native language. In Shawnee, wapiti is said to mean "white rump," a distinguishing feature of the American elk

Thanks Alf, I like the name Wapiti

Thank you Kru-Kab...I didn't know that. I would love to go back and have a longer visit some day.

*** GERDA ** HERE IS ONE OF MY PIC SITES WITH SOME MORE **WAPITI **http://www.angelfire.com/zine2/krukab/krukab/ - JUST COPY AND PASTE

Thanks KruKrab !!!
Ooooh you have seen grizzly beers. I love them, and would love to see them in the wild once... maybe one day one time my dream will come true :roll:

Great pics everyone!

For you Kru- Kab

Beautiful sheep Lynne

Thank you sabine.

:roll: I leave that to you wise teacher...lol how old ?

I can't tell how old is ....but I can tell he is beautiful

That is a little hard to do still attached.. I thought the more curl the older the ram. He is at least 8 don't you think and older than that I am very sure.

roughly 10 -12 years old they count the spaces between the dark rings- the dark rings are summer growth and usually one year is hidden under the scalp hair -

I learn something everyday. Let's just hope I learn faster than I forget everyday..

@Lynne

ten feet away - columbia icefielfd JASPER NAT-PARK

I still can't count it Barry.. :roll: How old?

the first ram is about **8 ** these two rams are about **10 ** the one sitting pretty on the bluff died that winter -from broken leg- they use teeth for acurate age and he was **10 ** first ram on this page was about 5ft away i used a 5o mm lens- the bluff ram was 30ft away across the highway i used a 200-500 tamron lens = all 3 pics were on 64 a/s/a/ film

here you go ** LYNNE ** THIS ONE SHOULD KEEP YOU BUSY COUNTING THE RINGS - THIS ANIMAL DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES - IT WAS PICKED UP IN THE NORTH EAST AREA OF BRITISH COLUMBIA - IT IS A STONE SHEEP CURL- NOW YOU GUESS HOW IT IT WAS

Imagine carrrying such horns on your head!

** THE HEADLESS SQUIRREL OF BOWSER **

*** the top photo of the two people holding a moose skull and antlers - the moose rack on the wall was taken in - north west b.c. are at friends home - and the rack on the floor was taken in ALASKA at an info centre in DENALI NAT PARK - both of those rocks the moose were fighting and got their horns locked and thus died -it happens with all antlered animals- (rare but does happen ) TRUE-STORY

THE * BIGHORN SHEEP * on the left was the beat up ram i ever photographed it had broken nose- and broken horns had been in many fights -
