If I had a pillow with me, I’d give it tho him.
This looks uncomfortable.

Sink Your Teeth Into It
The expression, “sink your teeth into” means to put a lot of your time and energy into something.
Our friend here wants a project he can really sink his teeth into.
Do you have any suggestions for him?

Where’s Charlotte?
I captured this photo because it made me think of the story Charlotte’s Web.
I see the web, but where’s Charlotte?
In the story, a pig got credit for the remarkable web that Charlotte made.
Some people crave attention and demand credit for as much as possible.
Others simply take joy in creating.
(That doesn’t mean it’s okay for someone to take credit for their work.)

Growing Horns
Do you remember when your body began to change as you transitioned from being a child to an adult?
Perhaps you experienced what people call growing pains.
Look on the bright side.
At least you didn’t have to grow horns.

Straw Hat
I like to capture animal behavior that seems odd to me.
This gorilla doesn’t appear to know the purpose of the nesting materials the zookeepers have provided.
Is this her attempt at making a straw hat?

A Rose by Any Other Name
Shakespeare said,
“What’s in a name?
that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
That’s a good point.
The opposite is also true.
Just because you call something a rose doesn’t mean it will smell sweet.
Here’s my photographic proof.
This rose is made of Legos.
No sweet smell there.

What is the Meaning of a Yawn?
With humans, a yawn is likely an indication of being tired or bored.
With tigers, it could also mean they are hungry and deciding if it’s time to look for something tasty.

Escape Artist
Here’s what I thought I heard the elephant saying as I took his photo,
“They treat me well here, but I’m curious what there might be on the other side.
Besides, I view myself as an escape artist and I like a challenge.
I’ve watched a human latch this gate.
I think I can flip the latch and make my escape while he’s not looking.”

Sneaky Stretch
This koala has learned a technique called the “sneaky stretch.”
It involves pretending that you are stretching while you sneak up on something you want.
It’s also a good way to conserve energy.
Instead of using your whole body to get something, you just slowly move one arm.
Try it. It’s fun!

Ugly Duckling
Danish author, Hans Christian Anderson told the story of a homely little bird born in a barnyard.
The bird suffered abuse from the others until, much to his delight (and their surprise),
he matured into a beautiful swan.
Why do we persist in judging people by their appearance instead of by how they behave?
